    Re: Mazzer Mini - Dosage Size

    When I had the Mini, I removed the hopper and filled the throat of the grinder with beans and put a tamper ontop of them to weigh them down. I also kept the throat topped up. This made a big difference to consistent looking and timed pours. In the end the cup tasted better and was more consistent shot to shotwhich what its all about. Waste was low shot to shot as it was easy to empty the throat and Id then just grind out what was left in the throat. Small price to pay for better shots IMO.

    Prior to this, I use to only put enough beans (approx 21g) in the hopper for one shot and the shots varied even though my dose and flush technique remained consistent - I noticed between shots and so did friends. Bottom line the cup was not consistent and didnt taste as good.

    Try it for yourself and see.

    Im finding that a lot to do with what you get in the cup comes down to 1. the beans and 2. consistency, whether its your gear, technique or approach. How far you want to go is upto you and your pursuit for the best coffee you can make/get.

    A lot of this has been reinforced to me when I moved to the Kony e. But same again RE: consisteny and this is in your entire routine. With the Kony, I have to keep at least 60g in the hopper to get consistent shots. Bottom line...min 60g beans in hopper = great pour and cup. less than 60g and you get inconsistent pour from shot to shot and a less than great cup than the 60g+ in hopper shot (but still damn fine!)  

    Experiment for yourself and have some fun along the way

      Would you say this is the same for the Mini, or are you just referring to the Kony?

        Same for the mini but the amount would be less as the minis throat is smaller. Try it for yourself and see.
