Grinders are one of the keys to exceptional espresso. Discuss them here.

I just upgraded to a Mazzer Major (the proverbial offer you can't resist) and must say that I'm wowed by the difference in the cup when compared to my previous grinder, a super jolly.

Much deeper chocolaty flavours, richer body and much smoother and sweeter results...probably just the taste profile I was after from the beginning :D my current bodged roast batches (don't ask, several issues encountered in three back to back roasts) tastes just fine at two days post roast already.

Dosered or doserless? I'm enjoying mine too. I single dose half the time or use a mini hopper. In find grind quality slightly better while using the hopper.

I've tired the home made doserless funnel mod, but having a hard time with clumps and static! I'm trying to find/make a proper anti static screen... Anyone know where to get one for the Major?

Dosered for now, and I think I understand the static issue...lots of grounds clinging inside the dose. I am using a doser lid with a piece of thick plastic film flap in front of the chute so the grounds fall down rather than being sprayed into the doser, that helps a bit but I may have to tackle static at some point.

Marcel did you byy that Black major that was offered on Marktplaats? That was a steal at around €200!
