Hi all,

I am curious if anyone has found a brush for their setup that they really particularly like. I'm looking for a small soft-ish brush that I would use to dust away coffee grounds from my tamping mat and grinder exit chute. I had the Weber Workshops brush for a while, but I accidentally broke it, and I thought maybe I should post a question here before simply reordering that one.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations and hope all the wonderful coffee friends of HB are doing well!

Best,
Chris
Best wishes,
Chris

I bought one from a local art supply store. Here is the one I have on Ebay. It is soft and hangs onto its bristles better than most brushes.

I use a makeup brush bought in a dollar store for about a buck & a ¼.

Cheap 2" chip brush for me. I cut the handle down shorter for easier storage too. https://www.homedepot.ca/product/hdg-2- ... 1000738776

thanks for all the input, everyone. I had a feeling i didn't need to spend $30 to get a grinds brush.
Best wishes,
Chris
