The fracturing and friction of coffee beans during grinding generates electricity that causes coffee particles to clump together and stick to the grinder. Researchers report Dec. 6 in the journal Matter that coffee beans with higher internal moisture produce less static electricity, which means less coffee is wasted and there is less mess to clean up.
The reason I like it is it reduces all the static when it comes out of my burr grinder. So it’s not clinging to everything and it’s easier to get my grinds from one place to another without making such a mess
