Not really, my grinder just chucks it out into a big conical heap... I give it a few light taps on my tamping mat, get the cocktail stick in there for a wiggle then light tamp followed by a couple of firm tamps... Doesn't take long...
I've got a lever pull grinder thingie that means it throws smaller amounts of grounds out each pull so I can move the portafilter around a bit to disperse the brown goodness.
Ah, you answered. That's too much faff. Is there some way you can more evenly distribute the ground coffee direct from your grinder?
