No, the throat of the Robur's hopper is larger and has a safety interlock collar. FYI, the Mini and Super Jolly hoppers are interchangeable.

Actually, I've made one fit very easily. I added a layer of double sided foam tape to the Mini's hopper and left the protective tape (didn't remove the plastic layer to expose the sticky tape).

Here's a picture:Image

Not the best picture but if you look closely you can see the tape at the bottom of the hopper. BTW, you will need a solution to the safety slot behind the hopper. I was lucky and found a plastic piece that fit perfectly.

It's an American Weigh 0.1g resolution scale. Either AMW-500, 1000, or 2000.

Right you are!!! Best scale I've found because I can tare it and leave it on (until the power fails, then I have to tare it again), and my entire pf fits on it for accurate grounds measurement (I don't like to take the basket out of the pf when I dose).

I just noticed how much coffee I wasted using the doserless!!!! Now I only have some light dusting of grounds after a morning of 4 shots. There's much less waste single dosing and using the doser.
