Hi All
Case of upgradetitis has got me thinking about swapping my Compak K3T to a Mazzer Super Jolly Doser.
Some of the reasons I want to make a switch is:
-Doser has less clumping
-Better grinds
-Speed
-Larger burrs
-Build quality
-Aesthetics
Personally, Ive always also wanted a Mazzer because I really like the way they look and since seeing them all over cafes im probably slightly brainwashed
My concerns are that doser will be much more messy. Im happy to do the doser mods to get a clean sweep and also to dose into the basket neatly, but the Compak is so neat I dont think the Mazzer can compare.
I dont like faffing around, so I wont be using a brush to sweep out the stale grinds from the chute. Normally I just purge 3-5 secs directly into my knockbox, then start loading up the basket.
On a doser, I imagine I would similarly purge, sweep out grinds into the doser lid, then start the grind.
I use Scottie's tools to dose by weight.
Ive never used the timer on the K3T so I dont think the actual dosing will change in my workflow.
Has anyone made a switch like that?
Doserless -> Doser?
K3T to Mazzer? (Maybe the Mazzer Mini is close enough?)
Any thoughts?
Sam
