Question 1

What should I fill the spray bottle with?

Accepted Answer

Use distilled water or filtered water to avoid mineral buildup inside the 10ml bottle. Some specialty coffee enthusiasts use ultra-light coffee sprays designed specifically for RDT. Avoid tap water if you have hard water, as minerals can clog the fine mist nozzle over time. Refill takes 30 seconds and lasts through 10-15 shots.

Question 2

What is an RDT spray bottle and how does it improve my coffee?

Accepted Answer

RDT stands for Ross Droplet Technique—a method where you spray a fine mist of water on coffee beans before grinding to eliminate static electricity. Static causes grounds to clump and distribute unevenly in your portafilter, leading to inconsistent extraction. This spray bottle's fine mist prevents that, resulting in more balanced, flavorful espresso shots with better crema and body.

Question 3

How do I use the retractable spray bottle without leaking?

Accepted Answer

Fill the bottle, then rotate the outer housing clockwise to retract the inner spray mechanism completely—it clicks into place. This seals the nozzle and prevents leaks in drawers or bags. To use, rotate counter-clockwise to extend the nozzle, spray your beans, then retract again. The design is foolproof after one use.

Question 4

Will this work with my burr grinder or only espresso machines?

Accepted Answer

This set works with any coffee grinding method—burr grinders, blade grinders, hand grinders, or espresso machine grinders. The static reduction benefit applies universally. Simply spray your beans lightly before grinding, let them sit 5 seconds, then grind. Results are most noticeable with espresso, but home coffee enthusiasts using pour-over or French press also report less mess and better consistency.

Question 5

Is the dosing scoop accurate enough for espresso?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The scoop holds approximately 18-20g of coffee beans depending on bean density and how full you fill it. For precise espresso, we recommend using the scoop as a starting point, then verifying weight on a digital scale (not included). This two-step method ensures consistency while the scoop eliminates guesswork on busy mornings.
