Acoustic Chaff-Separator Cyclone & Magnetic Portafilter Collar

The Mechanics:

A machined 6061-T6 anodized aluminum dosing funnel and passive vortex cyclone collar that mounts magnetically beneath a single-dose grinder chute. As ground coffee drops through a spiral air-knife slot, a low-pressure piezo-acoustic micro-blower creates an upward laminar shear current calibrated strictly below the terminal velocity of dense coffee particles—lifting only low-density chaff and sub-10-micron static dust into a removable sintered-brass catch ring. Crash-Test Unit Economics: Zero wet RDT mist inside the burr chamber, tool-free bayonet cleaning in three seconds, and effortless fitment across existing 58mm blind-shaker workflows.

Utilitarian Value:

Crash-Test Spec: Captures papery silver-skin chaff and static fines during high-RPM single-dose grinding without RDT water spritzing, protecting precision-aligned coated burrs from moisture corrosion while unlocking a flagship collector accessory.

Target Ecosystem:

Specialty espresso bars, competition baristas, precision CNC kitchenware collectors, and high-extraction coffee labs.
