Don’t think it’s that, it was really foggy outside and inside was cold today when the second machine went wrong.

i think i would write to the manufacturer. does the machine have some kind of PLC in it that could be susceptible to EMI?

Thanks yeah I think it’s something electro-mechanical rather than a circuit being interfered with. I’ve had shop mills with crazy static problems and it looks like that. Just wondered whether these things are designed to conduct the natural static through the chassis ground down to the mains earth, and if that’s not right then the coffee just sticks itself to every surface around it. The router thing I was thinking maybe some sort of magnetic field would disrupt the flow of static through the grounding.
