A Grinder PSA.
I know James Hoffmann, in a few videos now, heavily suggests doing the RDT (ross droplet technique) on coffee in single dose grinders; indeed, in one video, he heavily suggests doing this 3x as much to get, as he says 'better anti static results". He even demos it on a DF64 Gen 2 in his Best grinders under £500.
But he's wrong. At least with grinders equipped with a plasma generator.
Doing the RDT on grinders with a plasma generator (like the DF64 Gen 2) WILL GUM UP the works inside around the plasma coil, making it 100% ineffective, and increase the overall static issues.
Don't RDT any grinder with a plasma coil.
Got this direct from TWO grinder manufacturers. I've been told one is trying to get James to do a new video "recanting" the advice. It's causing them a lot of service calls.
