    You can buy them from a couple of different suppliers but they are normally ridiculously expensive for what they are. The other option is to modify a 'donut funnel' or something similar to use in its place. There are a number of different sizes but you should be able to find one on ebay that has a similar diameter to the mazzer body and will only require a bit of quick grinder work to make it fit.

    Hi Folks- has anyone transplanted an Anfim doser onto a Mazzer?

    cheers, buff  
    Thats one for the new owner
    I recently sold this little beauty (Mazzer Major)
    My current grinder is a BNZ MD74 conical

    I tend to favour and appreciate the doser more these days

    Hi KK,

    What improvement do you see from the wire at burr throat mod?
    I noticed that clumping was less noticeable in the doser
    Mainly on oily beans and on humid days

    Ok here is the photo tutorial for the sweep mod

    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

    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

    One mod I would recommend is the sweeper mod
    Best to use 1mm foam double sided X 18mm wide tape

    I left the peel-able plastic stuck on the sweeper mod as that is the part that pushes the grinds (clean & hygienic)

    The other side is stuck on the fingers of the sweeper body

    dont stress to much, your grinder will be fine. Some people are just born tinkerers.

    Hi KK

    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

    thanks

    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

    So I made a drawing
