    "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? :-/
    Now THAT would be a great idea..... wonder if there is any standardisation on the throat diameters of commercial machines? Would be nice if there was......

      Maybe the smaller tranquilo one will fit it? want me to measure the diametre of the throat on mine?
      gotta take the beans out first pm me if you want those measurements might be better heightwise then the big one, they look similar

      Sullos

        Doesnt appear to be standardization of throat diameters. The hopper diameters on La Cimbali MD6 55mm, on the Gaggia MG 58mm. So the idea of Throat rings" may be a workable solution, much like bosses for steering wheels

          Hey Chris (2mcm),

          Do any of the Macap, Mazzer grinders, etc use a "drop-in" Hopper that just sits in the throat of the grinder? If so, any chance of measuring the outside diameter of the hopper where it drops in? Appreciate your help mate,

          Cheers ,
          Mal.

            57mm on my Macap.

            Tape measure used not vernier calipers.

              the tranquilos bit that the hopper sticks into between hopper and top of grinder is 45.94 and the and the bottom of the hopper that kinda screws into that thing(it also closes off the beans to grinder) is 61.7
              according to Vern

                How is the Macap hopper attached TG? Just drops in or affixed in some way?

                  It just drops in.

                  There is a hole in it through which a screw is meant to protude.
                  I leave the screw wound out though for ease of removal.

                      Te mazzer is about 58mm Mal; drops in with a security screw option. I wonder if a flexible, rubber collar would be an option that could work with the more popular grinders at least?

                          Hi TG,

                          I dont have the Cunhill, I think thats Sullos.... mine is a La San Marco and the throat I.D. of the grinder is tapered slightly from top to bottom with the top-most I.D. being 67.7mm and the bottom I.D. about 59mm estimated (vernier cant reach the bottom).

                          I think the idea of a rubber or soft plastic collar is a good one and shouldnt be too difficult to knock up. I think a new Macap M4 Hopper is beckoning : ,

                          Mal.

                            Will that make it a La San Macap?

                            Right now its a La Sans Hopper.
