  • Ok, so I feel dumb but about doser/doser less...

    I am new to the world of making coffee yourself and I cant figure out for the life of me what this doser/doser less thing is...I want to buy a new grinder for myself at home (have an old simple krups one)

    I need guidance!

    Thanks everyone.

    A doserless grinds the coffee directly into the portafilter (or whatever you put under the spout).
    A doser grinder grinds the coffee into a container and requires a flick or 3 of the doser handle to put the correct dose of coffee into the portafilter.
    The Rancilio Rocky pictures give a good visual of the differences. Pics should be available on the websites to the left.
    There are advantages and disadvantages of both systems.

      When you do your barista course you will learn about it espresso chick

      But put simply a Doser model has a cylinder that catches the ground coffee and you slide the handle back and forth "click click click” to allow the ground coffee to fall in to the porta filter

      A Doserless model grinds coffee and falls directly into the porta filter via a small tube

        Thank you both! The grinder I have at home is no where near as fancy as the ones people talk about here.

        I cant wait for the course - so much will be revealed!

          I think a doser model has more advantages than a doserless.
