    You can slide the bottom of the hopper closed to minimise the effect of the pop-corning.
    I had to thin down the edge of the slide to make the action smoother.

    Apologies for lack of responses. Even though I have the option selected, I don't get email notifications of the replies. Not sure why. I've been on holidays for the last 3 weeks too, so spend very little time looking at screens.

    I can report that using a measuring scoop that roughly equates to the right volume of beans and just single dosing has been working out fine. A bit of popcorning at the end but nothing that seems to be affecting the taste, which is the main thing for me. Haven't noticed any degradation in the freshness of the beans from opening the bag more often either. I think I'll just continue this way as its the cheapest option for now, and coming off holidays, I'm skint.

    Perhaps you could remove the hopper, run a thin piece of masking tape vertically on the front, spray with plasti dip paint and then remove the masking tape before it sets.

    Also seen on original Ducati 750SS fibreglass fuel tanks.

    I use bean cellar set to store the beans in each container so there's no need to open and close the bag every time I wanna make a shot.

    Or, those that have single dose hoppers, do you also have a bellows type attachment and if so, do they work? A quick google shows plenty of options for single dose hoppers.
    I have a bellow and it works.

    To see bean’s level, you make/cut a vertical narrow window, similar to an electric kettle: keeps light out and doesn’t hide a pretty grinder . Or just lift the lid to check the level.

    the problem with this solution is not being able to easily see when beans are running low...

    Once the images are uploaded and listed in the attachments section at the bottom, there should be "small, medium, large" links next to each image. Place the cursor in the text where you want the image then click the corresponding size you want it to be.

    Just wanted to share yesterdays little project, a "bean hopper beanie", upcycled from an old pillowcase! I think it turned out quite well...

    edit: how do you do inline images?

    You are probably right as a Mignon owner, but when listed on service sphere site as 300gr Eureka hopper they say it fits 'all Eureka grinders'. Probably a mistype by them. I just couldn't link to their site.

    I thought the tinted hopper was the same, as in, square not round.
    The one you have linked to isn't suited to the mignon range.

    To clarify, I was referring to the breville which has a larger hopper than the eureka.

    You thought it was the same colour or put the same pressure? I have both and the round is definitely more consistent when less than full. It is made in clear and tinted versions. Call your favourite vendor or Service Sphere is the importer. AB sell them - https://alternativebrewing.com.au/pr...0g-bean-hopper
