Like others I’ve been doing this at home for years with uncooperative beans e.g. most decaf, but it’s fun to have it modeled. My highly technical method has been to stick a finger under the faucet then twizzle it around the beans in the weighing cup.
- jihadjihad 3y agoHaha, you're not alone--I do the exact same thing! I feel like too much water could affect the burrs somehow? I don't know. So I am with you! A few drops jostled around and it's good to go!
- psytrx 3y agoYes, too much water on the beans can lead to water gathering on the burrs, which can lead to rust on the burrs. I use the teaspoon method (just the handle), cover it in water and stir the beans a couple of times. Just a single data point, but I've done this for 2 years at ~2.5 shots a day with no sign of rust on the burrs. YMMV
- Drew_ 3y agoI also do finger+faucet, but I wouldn't be surprised if it actually adds _more_ water than a single spritz.
