Does this grinder have a static electricity problem?

Yes. More so than any other grinder I've used in the past. The grinder performs well and this is not a big issue but you will most likely be cleaning up grinds that cling to the unit after you use it.

I don't know about static electricity but I've had to return two of them because we only grind very fine French Roast coffee beans and maybe ours are just too oily for this machine and perhaps we just drink too much coffee! I loved it when it worked but they just didn't do so for more than a couple of months so I'm sorry to say we cannot recommend it.

I wouldn't say it's a "problem" but some of the grounds cling up the side of the chamber due to static electricity, for sure. It just makes it look like it's full of grounds all the time, but doesn't seem to cause any actual problem after 6 ish months of daily use. The problem with this grinder is that the "extra fine" setting doesn't (and never did) work at all. However, the "fine" setting is good enough for us- it grinds it close to espresso - level fine ground.

Mine did at first but with regular care it has gone away. Took a while though. Besides that I am completely satisfied with this quality grinder.

Only when it needs cleaning. To me it the coffee grinder I have owned and I have been grinding my coffee since 1972.

Yes it does but over time this problem became insignificant. I really like it and it has used in our home for years.

When it is new it has some issues with grounds clinging to the sides but as others have stated it clears up with use over time. We use it to grind coffee for K-Cup type maker and it works really good and I would recommend it.

Mine had some grinds in it, but not as you describe. Did the packaging look as if it was opened? I think I might be upset if my machine arrived 'dirty'. Even if the motor probably would not be damaged by the grinds, I would still expect my machine to arrive clean. Good luck, it really is a very good grinder.

there is some static noise yes..as with many amps...but if it is minimal when playing..you are good. If not, I would contact the seller.

My grinder is in basemant with another things when I missed return time. I did have problem with grinding wheal. After every grinding was too loosen or fell of place.

After the grinder stops, "slap" the motor housing with your palms on both sides at the same time. This works to dump grinds from the burr into the glass pot. It also helps to release the static electricity. Don't use the hopper to store beans. Store them in an airtight container and measure each day's beans. Oh, and be sure to turn off the toggle switch after using. You will save electricity and the motor will be cool for your next grind.

I haven't had any problems however the first two I had quit working after only one time. This is my 3rd one since March and up to this point & time is working, the grinder produces consistent and smooth grind. No complaints at this time however if #3 doesn't work out, I will not get another one. This one is perfect, right now.

I found that if you don't overload the grinder it does grind evenly. Once you put too much product in it, it has a hard time grinding every little bit of it to the same grind.

It is a non-electric attachment for use with an electric grinder, you have to make sure it fits the model grinder you plan to use it with.

It will do a good job but static electricity can be a problem with coarser grinds. Tap on the unit after grinding and s l o w l y remove the container of ground coffee and you shouldn't have any problems.....

Yes, In any dry climate, static electricity is there and you should take all procautions to protect your equipment. Even worst if you have carpet in your room where your equipment is located.

Kind of, I was hoping..the grind is really good but the static can drive you crazy. If you find something that works, let me know. You really need to clean it out with each use.

My husband and I have ground a few kinds of meats and no black residue. Maybe a problem with a seal.? I would send it back for another one. It really is a good grinder. I'm sure you took everything apart and cleaned well.

I'm not sure but it sounds as though the grinder gear may be gunked up. Do you remove and clean everything after each use? Try cleaning things as well as possible, especially the gear in bottom of the grinder. If that doesn't work I'm afraid I can't help. Good luck and happy java!

Don't bother. I never use that glass receptacle. If your doing a whole bag at one time, find a receptacle that fits under to catch the grind as I do. Your going to have static cling regardless of its glass or plastic. I used that small glass receptacle once, never again. Check your cupboards & find the perfect one. You don't need the one that came with your grinder.

It's been grinding really well for me...very even. I have seen very few coarse bits and that's usually only when I don't do it long enough. Overall, still very pleased with this grinder. Hope this helps!

It is easily cleaned. I just doesn't work very well. The smallest bit of grounds or dust gets in the wrong place and the grinder has to be taken apart and cleaned then put back together.

Yeh Bruce I was super anal about not "cross contaminating" my grind but I have not had an issue yet. Only issue I had was when I first bought this grinder I tasted a metallic after taste in my coffee. I was ready to return it but gave it a couple weeks and I'm glad I did. I think the burrs just needed to be seasoned. Which goes back to the question "SHOULD I clean my grinder, not WHEN.
