This trick is part of the Diabolo Trick Roadmap (available on Amazon) which is a skill tree (containing 337 tricks from 1 to 3 diabolos) designed to give you a personalized list of tricks you’re ready to learn, taking into account the tricks you already know.
The coffee grinder is not too complicated once you get the hang of it, but you may struggle with tangled string at first.
As always the tutorial is described for righties so if you are left handed switch right and left in the step by step explanation.
Prerequisites
- #13 (1) Darkside catch OR #36 (1) Simple stick swap
- #20 (1) Orbit
Step By Step Explanation
1. Get the diabolo in darkside.
2. Point your right stick to your left hand so it’s parallel to your body
3. With your left stick, put the sting over the right stick from the front to the back of it. The string will form a triangle pointing down to the diabolo. Make sure the triangle is big enough, if not you may experience some problems with tangled string in step 5.
4. Put the left stick in the string triangle to the left of the diabolo, still pointing forward.
5. Orbit the left stick around the diabolo by pushing the stick on the string in a counterclockwise motion
6. To exit the coffee grinder, take the left stick out of the string triangle, then point the sticks down (you are back in the darkside position) and finally exit the darkside to go back to the open string position.
