Mazzer Major Mods - Work in Progress

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?

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

Re: Mazzer Major Mods - Work in Progress
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

Re: Mazzer Major Mods - Work in Progress
One mod I would recommend is the sweeper modOriginally posted by 203B3A2D3831233D27540 link=1250736066/23#23 date=1256554548Cheers & 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
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

Re: Mazzer Major Mods - Work in Progress
dont stress to much, your grinder will be fine. Some people are just born tinkerers.Originally posted by 7E656473666F7D63790A0 link=1250736066/23#23 date=1256554548Holy 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...... ?

Re: Mazzer Major Mods - Work in Progress
You will have to remove the doserOriginally posted by 0013060E0F610 link=1250736066/20#20 date=1255812349Hi 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
argon
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
