Spoiler, its RDT

In case people do nto know what RDT is, which they really should if they have been into coffee for a little while as it makes a big difference:

RDT is Ross Droplet Technique, which is very much adding water to beans. Named after David Ross who came up with it back in 2005

        That is not what RDT is for coffee beans, lol. RDT is Ross Droplet Technique, which is very much adding water to beans. Named after David Ross who came up with it back in 2005

        Edit: post I replied to has now been edited to include the correct answer. The original answer was from chatgpt and completely incorrect so extremely misleading

            I wouldn’t trust that to tell me anything I didn’t already know the answer to, it is fucking useless as it still makes too many mistakes and lies about them

          Christ on a bike, how were we meant to know that?!? Is it too much trouble for you to type something out for us so we can understand you, without having to Google it?

          Excuuuuse us for making you press some keys 😂

            I am very surprised that anybody answering that question wouldn’t have been in the hobby long enough to not know what RDT is. Immediately downvoting my actual, factual link to both what RDT is and a deeper dive on the article to it says a lot.

              There’s a pretty big difference between knowing an acronym for a new term about an old technique, and knowing about the technique itself. Anyone who’s lived through a winter knows that static is worse when things are drier. Brewers have added water to grain to improve grinding for ages. I’ve added a spritz of water to beans for a while, and it’s not because someone told me to, it was just common sense. This is the first I’ve ever heard it referred to as the RDT. You were down voted for being condescending about it

                The issue here is posting chatgpt answers as fact without knowing remotely enough about the topic to know it’s garbage. I wouldn’t dare post answers on random topics I know nothing aboutusing chatgpt as my sole guide, its a proper dick move.

                It’s been a part of the speciality coffee scene since 2005, and a big part of many recommendations to improve grinding. I would be surprised if anyone who has been an active consumer of coffee content hasn’t seen it used at least once.

                  No mate, the issue is someone having to use ChatGPT to try and figure out what you were talking about, simply because you were too lazy to type a phrase, causing this entire comment chain here.

                  If you’re communicating with other people, it’s frankly a tad rude to assume that everyone should spend some of their time working out what you’re talking about, rather than taking two seconds yourself to type clearly

                  This might sound harsh, but it’s good advice for the world in general, especially in a professional environment

                    What utter garbage.

                    Any community particularly one for nerdy hobbies has jargon as part of it’s discussion and doesn’t have explanations littered in every instance jargon is mentioned. Part of joining in that community is asking or finding out what the jargon means. Asking like an entitled ass over not understanding jargon in a hobby you aren’t familiar with shows what sort of person you are.

                    Again, I answered the question when asked.
