Gosh, I think I'd give up home espresso if I had to spend 5 minutes preparing my dry dose every day. Timed grinder is the bomb. Forget about retention and scraping and clumps and... Just purge a little and enjoy your morning cuppa.
Otherwise buy a hand grinder with little retention. Same effort, less money, and you're using it how it's designed.
[Edit - I make on average 4 coffees per day in our household. Single dosing was something I did maybe for my first month of making coffee, and it got: 1. very tiresome, 2. inconsistent (you might think that is counterintuitive). There's no way I'd single dose 4 espressos when having 100g+ in my hopper gives me more consistent grinds and saves me time. If all you're drinking is one espresso a day, sure, but much more than that I'd say stop single dosing, take the plunge and actually use your hopper.]
