That's really not a secret. Even cheap espresso machines automatically do that now.

Haha. Took me a while to pick up on that. I haven't tried RDT before so wonder how much of a difference it really makes or if it's really minor.
May not necessarily be useful for everyone, especially those of us in humid areas.
From https://www.baristamagazine.com/spraying-your-coffee-beans/
There are factors to consider, like the brewer’s own environment, a burr’s constant exposure to humidity, and the method’s effectiveness on multiple doses. If the humidity in your space is already at a certain level, the added humidity created by the mist may be too much.
Still, probably worth giving it a try.
Will be interesting to see whether the data behind this study mentions that.
I'm making my way through this in the hopes I don't need to read through the study: https://youtu.be/GuqVUsMPs-U?si=rq0n9pL0bO6Pna-l
From what I can tell, relative humidity in the room does reduce the amount of static a little, but still not as much as you would get from performing the RDT they suggest in the study.
