Can you talk me through a little bit of what the Robur E is doing with anti-static? I've seen anfim's grind spout "blade" and I've rigged up an SJ with a guitar wire, dose de-clumping setup courtesy of the folks at PF.NET... Is it like/ the same as the Anfim?

Kyle Glanville

Chris -
The anti-static is just a cross hair over the exit chute. Its not so much a wire as a stamped piece of steel that breaks up the clumps as they exit. I'm told that a component of its effectiveness is the speed with which coffee is exiting the grinding chamber, but I don't know.

It works like a champ though. Very cool.

KG came to play... Holla!

Chris DeMarse

I was wondering if that just might be it... i wasn't sure though if the actual metal blade was somehow "charged" or uncharged.. saying it i feel ridiculous. Nevertheless, it's a great function for the grinder. I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to write.. I think you have an amazing shot at the world title and I look forward to learning more from you as you continue to write and think.
