I was one of the holiday contest's lucky winners and got some Espresso Toscano from the nice people at Counter Culture. Its really quite delicious btw, it might be replacing red line as my favorite. The only thing is this seems to be a more oily coffee than I usually use and my grinder is a real pain with it. I have a doserless Cunill Tranquilo and I'm lucky if a teaspoon of coffee falls out of the chute before I resort to tapping, scooping, and scraping.

Any tips for what I might be able to do to the plastic to make it stick less? I've tried lining it with some foil, some parchment paper....I can't get it to fall out!

I've tried foil, and it was a pain to shape it into place. I ultimately scrapped it.

The process I've developed is once I've ground all the coffee I want to, I pull the lid and use a small curved piece of plastic to scoop out any ground coffee remaining in the exit chute. Below is a picture of what I've adapted for this purpose... a plastic hair clip. I use one side on which I've cut off the hinge end using a Dremel tool. It's now a smooth curved piece of plastic that works as if it were designed for the purpose.

I then hold my hand flat and place it directly above the exit chute (think of how you hold your hand to your forehead like a visor) and pulse the grinder on and off (I've removed the timer board that came with my Tranquilo, and have a toggle switch in place of it... works great). This blasts out any remaining coffee from the burrs.

Next, I use a pastry brush I picked up at Target to brush out the exit chute.

After that, I use a foam paint brush to do a quick brush of the dosing funnel.

This all sounds like a lot of work, but it is a snap and takes me about 10 seconds beyond the initial coffee grinding time.

One last trick that I use with my Tranquilo is that I grind directly into a very-small cocktail shaker that I got from Cost Plus World Market. I pulled the strainer out of the top part so that it can be inverted to dump ground coffee directly into a portafilter. An added benefit of this is that the grinds can be made clump-free with a little shake of the shaker - the WDT stir isn't needed.

Hmm, shaken, not stirred...
