It is manageable, but if you want to do single dosing I would put some beans in (2-5g) and grind them to get rid of old grinds retained from past grinding. It is not meant to be single dosed, but it can be done. When the hopper is not full it will take more time for all the beans to go in the blades, as they may 'pop' around the hopper from striking the blade.

I agree, using a grinder like that isn't ideal when the hopper is empty. I used one at a cafe and I think it's an awesome grinder for that application (I much prefer it to anything mazzer as far as the workflow goes).

I don't have the Specialty 75 but I do own the Olympus 75E (same burrs and motor) and with the new blow up hopper it becomes a very good single dosing grinder. Takes around 6 secs to grind 18 grams with a very fine grind - about 3-4 secs for your 'normal' espresso grind.
I found that without the Blow Up hopper, the grinder would retain 4-5 grams but with it installed and sealed to the upper burr carrier with some electricians tape, the retention came down to around 0.1-0.2 grams.

Good to know that the blow up hopper works! I looking to pick up one of the Atom 65 or 75 with SSP red if I couldn't get a Monoflat. Anyone has the measurement of the 75 w/o hopper? I can't find it anywhere.

Does anyone have any update on the NA release of the Atom 75? Also, to the lucky owners of the atom 75, can you comment on the retention without the blow up mechanism ?

Few members have ordered grinders successfully from https://www.espressocoffeeshop.com/inde ... ct_id=1147 They're located close to Eureka HQ.
Between order and chaos there is espresso.
Semper discens.

Really considering ordering this grinder with the blow up hopper for the zero retention aspect (assuming it works??). It's much cheaper than a monflat and much easier to purchase using the link above.

Anyone have reasons why I should think twice?

Been reconsidering this myself.

Any one order the 110v from them? Does it come with an American socket/plug? Any modification required?
