Hi all, i'm restoring an Anfim grinder from the 60's, and of course the doser lens got broken on the way here from Europe . I need to find a suitable replacement, but having difficulty getting measurements from parts suppliers websites . It looks like the 2 best options are an Anfim Lusso, or Mazzer Major doser lens . The size i'm looking for is approx. 120mm diameter x 85mm high . The other confusing thing is - some suppliers seem to only list one mazzer doser lens size, whilst others have 3 different sizes for the mini , super jolly and the major/Robur . Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi Russell

Thanks alot, really appreciate it . Unfortunately it looks like the Super caimano has a more complex doser lens than the standard lusso etc and the old model i'm restoring . I've decided to go with the mazzer major/robur lens which measures at 120 mm diameter x 90mm high
