      Robusto,

      try my latest trick.

      Measure the beans into the basket then toss them ito the hopper and grind.
      Ive worked out how many I need now (slightly heaped basket).

        Sorry about that Lizzi, bad form on my part :-[....

        Ive got a thing about bright red, my Bezz is bright red, the LSM "will be" bright red when I get around to it so naturally, the "Lizzi" hopper has to be bright red too. I think its something to do with an unsated desire to own a Ferrari :,

          When you paint the body to match that will look awesome (and blinding).

            Hmmm, not blinding TG... Ferrari Red gets the blood moving even before I take my first sip of Java for the day ;D.

            Dont know when Im going to get around to it, but when the time comes Ill probably get the LSMs outer casing powder-coated the same colour as the Bezz and then that WILL be a sight to behold : ,

                  I dunno about this hopper Mal - looks a little like a pimple on a pumpkin? Then again, Im sure it will look a whole lot better once the unit is totally red.

                  Sorry to hijack your thread Robusto - how is your new beastie performing? Have you made the mods yet?

                    As always, horses for courses Dennis.... The original hopper is a 2Kg job and just a smidgen too big for my needs ;D,

                      Im in two minds about these hoppers.... The originals are way, way too big. I cant see any circumstance in my home where it would be filled. But the shape is part of the grinder ethos.

                      The improvised small ones are more practical, but dont have the same visusal impact. (Maybe that is a good thing too? I dont know :- )

                      No mods Dennis. Ive hardly been out of my sick bed for the last couple of days...havent the energy to make a coffee. Darn flu.

                      So much to become familiar with: Like How many notches does it take to make a difference in grind? How to avoid making a mess.

                      But throughout life, once we master situations and then plateau out, climbing the learning curve once again re-energises us.

                      Mmmm. Energy. :-? Could do with some now. :-[

                        Rob on mine I used liquid paper to mark one of the notches for my fav bean, from that I use it as a "false zero" and go couple clicks up or down from that, most cunills dont have a start [point, just makes my life easier,
                        hopefully you get what I mean.

                          WHOOHOOO>> i have got a hopper named after me.......heheheheh ;D ;D ;D
                          thanks for sharing, Mal !

                          Dennis, i beg to differ... mini hoppers are not pimples.. mine have a nice stainless steel band around them and look quite the part!
                          OK, they may not look like big commercial hoppers, but with the stainless steel slide, band and glossy finish i have come to like them.
                          well... appreciate them for what they are, anyway, "the hopper you have when you dont want a bl@@dy big commercial hopper"....

                          as for the colour, Mal, ... sorry, but that is NOT Ferrari red, more like tomato sauce reddish. :-[
                          we have one of those reddish cars, (aptly called "the Tomato") and it doesnt go very fast, but s@#$, it will go anywhere you ask it to!!
                          bit utilitarian, really... not Ferrari at all...
                          useful, tho

                            Yes, Ive done the whiteout trick, Sullo. It is at the failsafe zone just back from where the burrs touch. IE, do not adjust finer beyond this whiteout mark. My equivalent of zero.

                            I am used to the Iberital where you can turn the adjusting knob to your hearts delight (and wrists chagrin) with no appreciable difference.

                            But Ive already discovered that a couple of notches on the Cunill have a comparatively significant affect.

                            Thru trial and error I hope to strike the magic formula where, say, one notch equates to 5 seconds extra/less pour or whatever.

                            The more taxing mod Im mentally working on is a deflector so that all the grinds about to enter the doser fall directly down into one of the segments. Instead of being sprayed everywhere.

                              Didnt mean to offend - its just, well...they do look kinda small on such a big base. Would be nice to be able to "mini me" the big hoppers.

                                and "mini-me-ing the big hoppers would be a fantastic idea!! exercise that entrepreneurial brain of yours and see what the possibilities are...? perhaps a "standard" mini-hopper with various "throat ring" options, so it fits various grinders?  :-/
