    To necro a somewhat old thread ; if I have an Macap M4 (approx 4 years old) would this be a logical upgrade at all given I could pick the Super Jolly-E which is pretty much new for a cheap price?

    Cheers Warney

    As you are weighing/single dosing, why pay for the Electronic dosing if you dont use it ?
    Why bother with a hopper at all ?
    There are many good grinders that would fit your needs

    Reviving an old thread. Like the look of the Super Jolly E with short hopper to side step from San Marco 95A. For those who weigh and single dose with this, what's retention like?
    From vids I've seen of this in action I like: 1) Mazzer 2) the portafilter holder actually seems to hold the PF - hands free sounds useful 3) seems relatively mess free once you've got dose timing pretty right.

    Tempted but my conscience (wife?) makes me think I should just get new burrs in the 95A and keep on grinding.

    And now I find THIS topic...
    Didnt need it. I bought this very one with the short hopper from Chris yesterday and will have it early next week...
    Yay!  :
    ;D Adam,

    Hope you love it when it arrives and it would be terrific if you could post a review once it and you have bedded in.

    Enjoy

    Chris
    Well Ive had it nearly a year, and I have the following things to say about it.

    The coffee is so much better out of this than the Rocky I was using. I put the reason down to consistency of particle size. I like the fact that I no longer have a doser. Its fast enough and quiet enough too, for the money. Could spend more for faster quieter, but at the expense of room. As it is, spending this much for a domestic use is a luxury.

    I soon found a problem, the motor wouldnt work any more. In short, it had clumped up and jammed. I had to pull the top apart and clean out all the grinds.
    It was suggested to me that I remove the earth mesh at the exit chute, so I did this. Wow. MESS! Static sends the coffee everywhere! But at least it doesnt jam. I made my own earth mesh, less materialistic, out of some thin copper wire. It works, but since I have had this grinder I am not roasting as dark, trying to reduce the possibility of oily beans and as such, clumping. So I intend to put the earth mesh back in one day.

    It doesnt need much movement at all to adjust the grind, this surprised me. The range of movement I use on most beans is very little.
    I may need to pull apart again and apply a light grease to the thread, as it doesnt move a tiny bit, but needs a bit more pressure to get it to turn. Not too worried.
    The only time I need to adjust the grind by a fair bit, is with some really dry Indian Robusta beans that I have. But you get the grind right for these beans (really powdery), and the coffee is surprisingly delicious. Yeah, a straight Robusta shot...

    It is a pity I didnt know about the super short hopper when I bought it, I bought the short hopper option but then saw the photo (above) of the really short one. Im used to mine now so cant be bothered replacing, but certainly the super short one is a better domestic option.
    The counter on the top of my unit currently indicates about 2300 doses, not bad going. I drink double shots at home, so thats still way over 1000 coffees in the time Ive had it. Even taking into account material costs of a cup of coffee, I think the grinder has paid for itself over buying from a cafe. And, certainly, definitely, the coffee I make at home is better than anything I buy around here.

    Would I recommend this grinder?
    Absolutely.

    Re: Mazzer Super Jolly Electronic

    anyone think the min-e/sj-e p/f rest will fit on a major-e?

    the min-e/sj-e pf rest is the one that sticks out and actually allows you to rest the handle and all while it is dosing ie. hands free.

    Any coffee machine specialist selling the Mazzer grinder will be able to get these short hoppers. I got a "medium" sized one that can take 1/2 kg of beans, but theres a "mini" sized one that takes less.

    You should also be able to find these hoppers on eBay, but of course, its better to build a relationship with a coffee specialist rather than a faceless nameless eBay seller.

    Hi, is it possible to modify my existing SJ to a d/less electronic?
    You can buy a kit to add on the dosing cone, in place of your doser - BUT it is very expensive.
    Im not sure if Mazzer have a retrofit solution for the timer, but you can use an external timer or if youre handy with electronics and 240V you can build in a timer on the grinder itself - its been done on someones Robur.

    Try "Can you buy just the chute from a doserless Super Jolly?"

    Re: Mazzer Super Jolly Electronic

    Just got my SJ-E from Chris today.
    Love it. We have a mini-e at work and SJ-E puts it to bed. Heaps quicker, at least double the speed & no mess. Its not much bigger than the mini really. Especially with the super short hopper.
    Thanks Chris

    The SJ-E is 510mm with a standard mini hopper. A super short hopper would lose a further 30-40mm.

    Not sure about elsewhere in Australia, but they are almost impossible to find in Melbourne at present. We can get them, but there are not many.

    Cheers

    Chris

    Did you know you can get a smaller hopper for the SJ E, like I did.
