    I measure, grind, dose, brush the chute clean, dose the rest.
    I use the same technique with the Mini TG with the same result.

    Have you had a look at this comparison?
    http://www.coffeetamper.com.au/**/reviews/mini-k3/

    I purchased a K3 elite and am very happy. No wastage and no clumping It is paired with a Giotto PP all purchased from Talk Coffee

    Thanks for making it sound a little less scary.

    So the manual is the go - I have noticed there is a new style "short hopper" version of the Mazzer Mini Manual available overseas - any one heard of them being available here yet? Or when?



    and

    No issues with grinds left in the doser.
    In fact since measuring per shot then grinding I struggle to have left over grinds to collect for seasoning shots after cleaning.
    (I hate using good beans for that)

    I measure, grind, dose, brush the chute clean, dose the rest.

    Thanks for your input everyone. Thundergod, do you have any issues with grinds remaining in the doser? And how long did it take to perfect the technique? From what I have read, using the doser helps to reduce "clumping".

    Nope- no faster...

    The Macap M4D is about the same price as the mini-e and grinds a double in around 10 seconds
    No brainer for me then in that case. If I was upgrading from my $400 grinder I would want it at least to beat the current one

    Can you please reassure me that the doser can be used when making only one double shot? I prefer to grind on demand rather than have it sit in the doser and go stale.
    I do 3 times a day every day.

    I actually measure my beans using a spare double basket, toss those into the hopper, grind them and everything that goes in, comes out.

    And looks a lot nicer too in my subjective opinion..... 8-)

    Would the mini-e be faster Jon?

    Thanks for the info and links 2MCM. I will have a good watch of this By the sound of it the consensus seems to be the Mazzer Manual over the electronic. I love seeing the bigger Mazzers in action in my favourite coffee shops.
    Just be aware Brewy that the Mazzer Mini manual is not a fast machine, mine takes about 30 seconds to grind 18 grams, plenty fast enough for me but have heard others complain.

    Well, I have never owned one of either type, but it was an overall impression that I had gathered from reading a lot of posts....(probably too many posts!)

    Can you please reassure me that the doser can be used when making only one double shot? I prefer to grind on demand rather than have it sit in the doser and go stale.

    Also How do you do it?
