Gday KK,
any chance of some assembly photos on this mod please?
Thanks,
Steve.
Hi Steve
Just use a flexible tape measure or a piece of string to determine length on the doser base plate exit hole
For the doser you need to shape the foil to the hole shape and also make sure the shape allows it to fit back into place (see pic 1 & 2)
That small right angle bend section can be done with pliers or on a vice if you have one (this bend gives it strength & do it while the foil is flat)
When you replace the grinder mechanism base the bend will also act as an anchor. When the base is tight the funnel will be held in place tight
I drew the funnel shape with a marker on the bent section and cut it with scissors
I cut it twice for clearance as the first time the end of the spout would just touch the grinds mound
You can see the shape & size on the other photos
The foil I sent you is easily bent and shaped
Good luck
I have a mini - mine thre to right a bit, but OK after adjusting the portfilter holder prongs a bit. However, i do have some clumping. Can you explain or photo the wire at the burr throat mod please

You will have to remove the doser
I used 1 strand of copper wire from an old extension cable (some people fit cross hairs)
You will see a foam gasket on the body on the grinder
Use a needle to make a hole in the foam gasket close to the body of grinder for the wire to fit/thread through
Replace doser
To take take a photo it requires me to remove my doser because I have an electronic switch & flap that obstructs the view of the mod
Holy cow, I havent received my Mazzer mini yet and after reading all this Im wishing Id held off. Problem is, I cant make coffee without a grinder so...... ?
I hope the damn things not too much of a pain in the ass.
Cheers & thanks so much for all the info on the mods. Ill give mine a try (less the finger guard at least) and see how it goes.
Thanks
Tony

dont stress to much, your grinder will be fine. Some people are just born tinkerers.
1) Placement of the tape - it is ok for tape to protrude lower by a couple of millimetres as long as all are equal but not above the flat top edge
2) Another view after the ^ deflector was refitted
3) Another view of deflector
4) This is how clean it sweeps the bottom plate of the doser
5) Another view of the doser sweep
