It can't just be me who thinks adding moisture to the already-filthy internals of a coffee grinder is a terrible idea. Sounds like a recipe for mould growth.
I took apart my electric grinder once for cleaning and it stank of mildew even without adding water to the beans.
- Drew_ 3y agoIf you grind oily dark roasts, the oils stick around in your grinder and go rancid. That's what you're probably smelling. You just need to clean your grinder some what regularly. This isn't a problem for medium-lighter roasts and water added with RDT doesn't really have any effect in practice.
