Well isn't that wonderfully pretentious.

similarly awful is "RDT" (Ross Droplet Technique: spray water on your beans before grinding to reduce clumping)

I can't believe I'm about to defend this, but unless you have an anti-static grinder spraying water does cause a lot less mess and ground coffee flying everywhere. I had to do it with my Wilfa Svart grinder (and still do when I use it) but I don't need to do it for my Niche Zero. When I use my Wilfa Svart without a spray of water (or just a droplet of water stirred in with the handle of a teaspoon) I notice the coffee is a lot messier coming out of the grounds container.

No idea if it impacts taste though.

meh, it's arguably the most important new technique in espresso making in at least the last 20 years. I think John Weiss deserves some credit for that.
