Get pumped! This is the incredible coffee product review you’ve been waiting for! The hot new gadget that will revolutionize your coffee brewing experience! Ok, no it’s not, I’m literally taking a few minutes to dribble on about a tiny broom and dust-pan. There’s some precedent / inspiration for this at least. The Coffee Chronicler, a chap for whom I have much respect for as a coffee aficionado, once posted about one of his favorite coffee gadgets being a small dust-buster. While I agree, it’s paramount to have a quick and easy way to clean up the blizzard of grounds that come with a busy home coffee lab, I’m very much in favor of this simple device. I have a mini vac in my kitchen, but I rarely use it for counter-top clean ups.
Maybe it’s that there’s not power or a place to mount it quite close enough or that my electric grinder doesn’t fit near the area I brew at. Maybe it’s that I’m up early and I don’t want to wake the dog or trigger my introversion with a loud hum. Whatever it is, I’ve found myself much tidier using this little hand sweep. I can quickly dump the pan in the sink or the bin. The brush magnetically adheres to the dustpan and it’s small and not at all ugly to look at. I’m not pushing this particular model or brand. I assume there must be mimics; it’s just the concept that I like. This has lowered the threshold for my willingness to clean up to the point that I find myself happily doing it on the regular.

What do you use? Shop-vac? Wet sock? Lemmy know.
