How well does the anti static work? My biggest worry is that when you remove the bin, you will always have the mess of grounds on to the counter?

when I take the bin, some of the flakes and grounds tend to stick to the bin and I have to tap it to get some of it out. generally a tiny bit stays in there. I grind pretty fine (15). Also, under the bin some flakes accumulate. I usually just blow those out.

minimal mess. no more mess than anything else I do on the counter. great grinder. definitely a must have...

it works most of the time, but there is definitely grounds on the counter. I have to clean up every few months.

I have found that if you wipe the inside with a dryer sheet before you start you wont have any problems with static and sticking powder.

We just leave the three in all the time. The only time I have found that it does not get rid of static clean very well is with dress pants...like mens dress pants. We still add a dryer sheet for loads with those in them. We also live in a very cold dry climate so will be anxious to see if it changes in summer when more humidity arrives to our area... I dislike using dryer sheets so would great to say we don't ever need them.

Mine didn't sound static at all. If you're using the cord, make sure it's plugged in good

I have not had any static issues but I don't use the speaker concurrently with my computer.

I would try it because I'm using it to switch between an Apple and home built computer that has external speakers and headphones... I don't hear static and it rocks pretty good... Read the return policy and go for it!!! It works for my needs

I don't know about the combo with dryer sheets as my whole point in getting the wool balls was to get rid of the dryer sheets so I have not used them together. Dryer sheets use toxic chemicals, or so I have heard. Yet, I also have not had that much of a static issue. My solution to that is to take the garment and give it a good cracking brisk shake. That usually gets rid of some of the static. Again, it is not like my clothes have had a lot of static since I made the switch which was many dryer loads ago. Get rid of those dryer sheets!

the anti-static properties shouldn't be affected by a hole in the mat; it should still work fine

I was disappointed to be honest. It looks great, but really the static electricity problem was the worst part of it. It isn't particularly quiet, and because the bin that receives the ground up coffee is plastic, it tends to stick all over. And I like to grind a week at a time so the small capacity of the receiving bin meant that I had to stop, unload, and deal with the grounds sticking to the bin. I went back to my old Krups blade grinder where the blades break the beans up. The grind is not as consistent, but it takes half the time to grind a week's worth of coffee at one time. More practical. I was disappointed to be honest. It looks great, but really the static electricity problem was the worst part of it.

mine does this too.. while it's sitting untouched alone on a shelf. Can't be static electricity... Seems defective.

We have always had the base on the shelf next to the tv. When I tested the base in back of the tv, I got a lot of static. The only time the static stopped was when I was about 2 feet in front of the tv. Don't let this stop you from buying the ears. We have two pairs now and don't know how we ever lived without them.

If you mean the burrs, just look down into it and see if it looks sort of oily and black. A trick to cleaning it out is to use "Minute rice", not uncooked regular rice, use about 1/4 cup +/-, grind it and it will clean out the burrs. Then run a small amount of beans through it and it's clean. I wouldn't get too crazy about it, maybe every week or 2 depending on how much it's used. You didn't say anything about the static problem, I haven't found a good fix for that yet but did call the company and was basically told all grinders have the static problem but in my opinion the plastic ones more that the metal ones. I' going to try a "Zerostat", used to remove static on vinyl records, 60's sort of stuff, they shoot out a stream of negative ions (really, not bunk), which should solve the problem. Too much information? Haha!

I have it attached to a Sony Mp3 player in my Kia Sportage and I have never had any static, been using it for 6 months!

So far I have no problem with static from other devices. I'm very happy with my purchase.

If your static is due to a ground loop issue, this will resolve the issue. I would say that it is likely to fix the problem or at least make it better.

It will clean the grooves thoroughly due to dirt. Pops and hissing due to static needs and additional item. 3 sets of cleaning have cleaned problematic 200 GR discs for me. Scratches that have been "blended" in and are not too rough or seep will become playable. I have a $2600 cartridge that sees NOTHING but prime vinyl.

Hi Sean, that definitely sounds strange. Mine did not come with grounds all over it. You might want to call them and see if they have a reasonable explanation, and/or exchange it.
