Hello all,
I have been really happy with my Vario but depending on the beans I use it can be very messy getting grinds all over the counter. I didn't really want to spend $20-40 on a dosing funnel so I made my own. I wanted something that was a little nicer looking then a cut up yogurt cup so I found the top of a laundry detergent container and used my Dremel to cut it. It works perfect.... No grinds on the counter, I can slide it into the grinder and use hands free, and perfect for WDT if I choose to. Here are the pics:

Great! That's a wonderful suggestion that took me 5 minutes in the making. I have my coffee bar in the laundry room and never thought of it. Now, I can dose all my baskets from 51 to 58mm with the same funnel. Thanks.

Cool! I'm glad I could help!

What detergent top did you use??

Costco brand.

Thanks so much

Only thing you have to watch out for with plastic is static. Nothing worse than having a quarter of your coffee stuck to the sides of the container due to static cling on a dry day.
