What is the local roaster you buy from?

Arcane Coffee in Danville. Close to the Hendricks County Hospital main campus.

That actually is how I drink and prefer my coffee. Sometimes I’ll add chicory to it to make it more bitter…

I really enjoy Waldo's channel, but miss his striped shirt.
Adding a bit of water (I'll try distilled), sounds like a winner to fight static charge.
Even though my Kitchenaid grinder is low RPM, I still get a good amount of static charge.

how hard will it be to get the wet grounds out of the grinder?

They are just misted to add some moisture.
I would mist, mix to circulate moisture amongst the beans, then grind.
The beans going in would be slightly damp, but not wet.

What? No Cajun coffee!

James is the man! I love his videos, always fun and informative.

My grandmother used to wet whole beans before running them through a hand crank grinder. She used an old percolator brewing pot. She passed in the 80's.

I can still remember the smell of coffee in her house.

I've been doing this for a couple weeks. It certainly changes the grind. Without the static the grounds seem to fall freer also. In my cheap grinder, I've had to back off the level when I mist.

Half a dozen good sprays with a large spray bottle seems excessive, but it certainly works.

I'm running my grinder 20% less time to achieve noticeably less grounds in the filter basket. Still it produces a similarly strong tasting cup. It also seems smoother tasting, but I don't have a James Hoffman palate, to better put a finger on it.

I have found thr 1:18 ratio is too much. I like that ratio in my pour over but not in the breville way too strong!

The Mrs. and I got this “for each other” for Christmas this year.

Also found Timber City Coffee in Plainfield for a local roaster.
