Hey Guys, Just wondering if anyone's tried the magic tumbler (or even just the newer funnels) with the original HG-1 (the first batch ever).

Owner experience with HG one grinder

I used to used the OE funnel with a similar set up, but now i'm trying out the blind tumbler again. An update you might want to consider that i had added was putting the portafilter basket on a cup warmer so it doesn't cool down
