Checked out a few of the conversions.Originally posted by timmyjj21 View PostMake your own out of a fudge funnel?
Fudge funnels are not readily available in Aust. (seems there should be a pun there somewhere)
Don't want to stuff around drilling, cutting and shutting, If I do the conversion it would need to be quick and easy, seems with a doserless hopper changeover only a couple of screws involved.

Not sure Barry, as I said, would like to keep the mod as simple as possible, remove and replace two screws sounds pretty simple to me.Originally posted by Barry O'Speedwagon View PostIs an icing funnel too narrow? (as well as attracting fewer undergraduate chortles
)
My feeling is it would also look a lot neater than what I could probably do.
Must be an unused doserless hopper sitting on a shelf somewhere in Oz, perhaps an ad in the buy/sell forum may produce a result.

Wasn't there a popular jam funnel mod going around a few years back?
I'm all for simplicity, but if a simple mod saves serious coin there's normally a market for it.

$25 to $30 for a donut funnel/ piston funnel/ fudge funnel. The usual auction site has them available with free delivery to Australia. Remove the handle and central plunger, and then cheap fibre cutting disk's on a Dremel to do the rest of the work.

You might be better off seeing if this can be fabricated from a suitable sized tin.

It's for the Mazzer Mini-e but might fit. Check the dimensions in the last pic. Yeah, I know, I looked at this option once and decided i couldn't be @rsed so mine remains dosered
Excuse the link to a commercial site but in case Javaphile consigns it to cybertrash, google "mazzer mini doserless kit" and check the Espresso parts entry. Coffee Parts sells them for about $300.

For those playing at home I now have an m3 and a hg-one. Got both second hand by being extremely lucky.
Haven't had much of a chance to try the m3 yet but the hg one gives a really nice extraction. Getting beans into the funnel and grinding under cabinets isnt perfect though. Might take it in to work and see if we can motorise it.

My Forte just died and am considering buying an MMe (a) but off this post I am now less sure. I'm espresso only and love light roast flavour profiles. I wonder if I am heading down the right path with the Mazza? May be the Atom?
Also, I am wondering, for those who use the Lido E-T for espresso, what are you using for the shot? Again I'm checking my logic, but the portability of a manual grinder seems a waste if you have to use an espresso machine to pull a shot.
Thanks

The Mazzer Mini has been outclassed by new grinders. ATOM is certainly one of them

Or maybe a Macap M4D
