What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ ESPRESSO CULTURE ][ DEGEN ECONOMY ]
The amount of previously ground coffee that stays trapped inside a grinder's internal chambers and gets mixed into the next dose, treated as a contamination problem to eliminate.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

LORE & ORIGIN
Engineering term for grinder residue that became a central obsession once single dosing made cross-contamination between beans a visible, trackable issue.
