Where are you looking, Joyo?
Get yourself to a sheet metal fabricator and ask for an off cut.
D.M.G. All Metal Fabrication & Welding - Sheet Metal Workers - Burwood, VIC - Yellow Pages®
or an acrylic plastic supplier: if they say they don't cut ...... just ask. You only need 150mm.

Still trying to find anything that works well.
I've just been using it with the collar and a tamper on top to stop beans bouncing out. Not the prettiest.

Hi joyo keep us posted if you find anything available in Melbourne. I have a mini but I think the ID may be the same.

Thanks Matt
very generous snobber indeed.
I'm in Melbourne
The inside diameter of the Kony collar is just on 60mm, so I say pretty similar to the robur, or perhaps just slightly smaller
I managed to remove the hopper without breaking the tabs,
so looking to do something similar to you
Thanks for that tip

Hi Joyo
I was fortunate enough get an offcut from a very generous snubber who had some laying around
But you'll need to do some measuring - the robur throat is 60.5mm, and 60mm with 3mm wall is a standard aluminium size. Is that the same as the Kony?
Here is where I worked out what I could get… where are you based? This mob is in sydney. Or Scaffolding guys? We were a bit limited in options out here in the country

Thanks BLrdFX,
I'll look into that, did you get them from the States?
Matt: can I ask you where you go to get the aluminium hopper?
that's looks pretty cool too.

Hi Joyo
I've just replaced my Robur hopper with a micro hopper made from 60mm aluminium (but I'm not sure what the Kony throat diameter is?).
I pondered perspex too, but wanted to use a tamp I had as a top, and the perspex wall thicknesses didn't quite suit without machining. I also didn't really need to see the level of the beans - the level of the tamp tells me how much is in there

Hi bringing up an old thread,
Interested to hear and see what others have done with replacing the massive hopper on the kony.
I see the clear cylinders used, and they look quite good
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction, checked in the major hardware stores, but they only have the PVC ones and not the Perspex or acrylic ones
Thanks

The conical, slower moving, burrs tend to bring out more in the beans.
What roaster are you using?

much appreciated! ive only had the kony for a day but so far, very very impressed. Still trying to dial it in properly but espresso from my home roasts has gone from so so to some of the best espresso ive had. First time one of my roasts has tasted like the description andy puts up with the green beans!
