The entire PF holder unit can also be slid out some if that helps. It was designed to be able to do this. I am not using the PF holder any more as found grinds were coming out with such speed they bounced off an almost full PF and shot across the counter. It was ok when the PF was

I just bought one from Safeway on sale for $3.99 Comes in about 5 solid colors, no decoration or logos. I don't know if it holds 16OZ but it is called a LATTE CUP and holds a lot

I would agree that a used Super Jolly or new Vario might work out best for you. I own the Vario and it was designed for a wide range of grinds and not just espresso. I don't own a coffee pot any more so haven't tested it for drip or french press. I have only had the grinder less than
