> Add one or a few drops of water to your roasted coffee beans
Ah, RDT (Ross Droplet Technique)[0].
A little atomizer (“spritz” bottle) of plain water serves well here. NB: this is for single-dose grinding - e.g. measuring a small amount of beans loaded into a grinder to grind immediately. If you have a grinder with a “big” hopper on top that has (e.g.) the weeks worth of coffee (even though you grind on-demand for ea. espresso/french press/aeropress/pourover/drip/…) this isn’t for you.
