Because it is mostly stainless steel, the static electricity is low enough that the grind is staying in the container.

The grind is captured in a metal bin (not plastic) so there is no static electricity problem causing the grounds to go everyplace.

Oxo also makes a grinder with a built-in scale but the deciding factor was the stainless steel bin which reduces grind scatter due to static electricity

The stainless steel cup rejects static electricity which seems to be an issue with other brands

Stays very clean with only a little bit of an issue with static electricity

Here, in the dry air of Colorado, the device generates a lot of static electricity which causes the ground coffee to cling to the steel container but rubbing it to disperse the static and then a quick tap with the hand and the coffee shakes out

What I do not like is that the ground coffee sticks to the collection cup----static electricity, probably....always a fine powder left behind, which I end up making a mess of on the counter

While it is so much fun it creates tiny balls of styrofoam that are everywhere and the static electricity makes it so you could power a small town with the

My last grinder was the Breville, which is a workhorse, but scatters grinds all over the place because of static electricity

It was always noisy, grounds were always the same no matter how you adjusted it, and the coffee grinds stuck and flew around the plastic container due to static electricity

All the grinders I've used before had plastic containers and static electricity was always a big problem.

there is a mess made from the cup with the grounds and static electricity.

CONSThere is still some static electricity that accumulates in the container

The static electricity made getting the ground coffee out, and cleaning the bin and grinder a time consuming pain in the neck

Even if I used a baggie, tightly wrapped around the chute, to catch the coffee grounds - flakes held by static electricity eventually made their way to somewhere on the counter top

Repeat when static electricity returns

Plastic containers aren’t an issue when the humidity is above 50% but when winter arrives they make a huge mess due to the very dry air causing more static electricity.

I suspect something like static electricity is the cause, but this is a a very small problem.

When the grounds receptacle is placed in the grinder, it clicks into place against a metal tab, which is connected to the grounded plug, meaning NO STATIC ELECTRICITY that throws coffee everywhere

I got tired of the mess my old grinder made because of static electricity

I was also really pleased with the low level of static electricity it generates.

The metal catch jar greatly reduces the common static electricity issues

The metal ground coffee container doesn't seem as prone to coffee sticking to it due to static electricity as the plastic Krups container2)

The only minor negative is that the grinding process creates a little static electricity and a few grounds cling to the container, particularly the clear plastic lid

It often imparts a static electricity charge to the ground coffee which makes it scatter or cling to the stainless steel container into which the ground coffee is deposited

Static electricity is not an issue at all with this grinder unlike others I have had in the past.

It generates some static electricity, but not enough to get coffee grounds all over my counter top

It's clean when it grinds and has little to no static electricity build up.

One feature I especially appreciate: The collector cup is made of stainless steel instead of plastic and thus eliminates static electricity that causes ground coffee to go everywhere and make a mess

This product grinds very well, but coffee gets backed up inside the chute and it produces so much static electricity that I still

Aluminum cup has no static electricity build up that you get with plastic

Dependable, relatively quiet operation - excellent static electricity handling.

Maybe it is the winter weather, but a good little bit of the ground coffee remains in the container by static electricity.

lidBut it does collect coffee by static electricity cling

Dependable, relatively quiet operation - excellent static electricity handling.

Second was static electricity, a HUGE problem in that coffee grounds spring forth onto every surface as you move the container of ground coffee to the coffee maker.

It does not have any problem with static electricity and always produces a consistent grind of coffee.

- Having used many other (very expensive) grinders that make a complete mess, as long as the ground coffee container is locked into place there is virtually no coffee spilled - the stainless steel container eliminates static electricity and coffee chaff fly aways.

I had read about people having trouble with static electricity.

I think it is less prone to static electricity and is easier to empty entirely

After a couple days' use, I can declare that (a) my French press coffee's flavor has been enhanced significantly; (b) the learning curve for this grinder is about five minutes; (c) the grinding process is mess-free (see my little secret below); and (d) cleaning this grinder is easy

n’t drain water thru the filter where the coffee grounds are

And an added bonus is that I grind exactly as much coffee as I

I upgraded from a cheap-y blade grinder, and the taste and smoothness of my coffee is noticeably better for it

The bin is static-y and the grounds stick to

Not having to start my day dealing with static-y, fly away grounds is a huge relief
