Does anyone know of a vacuum type thing (this is a very scientific description) to clean up grounds besides my dust buster? It works perfect but would be neat to have a tiny "spy sized" vacuum. Would the ones that people use for keyboards work well? If I remember right I saw one a few years back and it was small, I think. Not sure, this is why I'm asking here.

Tried a couple went the cheap paint brush route. A quick brush into the knock box held to the edge of the counter and i am good. If you do find one you please by do post it.
You know those people that want to tell you how to raise your kids but have none of their own? That is how i feel when someone with a kitchen appliance tells me how the merits or dis-merits of my machine or how to use it.

Careful, there a few choices. You could want the pig, or something else. Glad you got a smile out of it.
They really can be a conversation stopper or starter when you actually use it. It was a local purchase years ago, but I have not seen them lately except Amazon.

I had a small rechargeable and it simply didn't work very well. So, I went out and got a small shop vac and keep it handy. It only cost about $15 at Menards and it works way better than anything else.

After a couple inexpensive hand vacs, I did some research and settled on:
Dirt Devil Accucharge Technology BD10045REDclick here They range from $37 - $50.
Has really strong section, readily cleanable filter, fairly fast recharger. I use it to vacuum chaff from around my Behmer roaster as well as coffee ground around grinder. I have had it about a year, and it continues to charge and work very well.

That looks to be as big as a standard hand vac though and I was trying to get smaller. Has anyone seen this MetroVac DVR-1 It looks like it comes from a line of healthy professional vacuums.
