There might be but I've never seen such a thing. The purpose of having a
home burr grinder is to never grind more than you need for the pot of
coffee you are making that instant. Coffee starts to go stale very very
quickly after it is ground. People who enjoy coffee enough to purchase a
high end grinder want it as fresh as possible.
