Ideally it would be great if one could order a drop in upper burr carrier, and lower burr carrier from Fiorenzato. The 64mm burrs are readily available.
Not sure what SSP charges for 64mm burrs vs others and if it would make a justifiable difference.

SSP 64mm burrs are USD 180 (standard)/220 (Red Speed coating) as far as I remeber (plus VAT, ca. 20% in EU, + import duty). Food Friendy (Ital Mill) 64mm burrs are ca 34 eur, Mazzer Mini-E 40 eur, 64mm Fiorenzaro EVO Red Speed 125 eur. If 64mm mod will work, I'm minded to try SSP ...

That's some large differences. At this point I'd be happy with the Ital Mill burrs.
Is it possible to acquire the upper and lower burr carrier from the F4 filter and any idea on pricing ? This maybe nothing more than an exercise if the parts cost more than a F64 E.

Those burrs on the pictures are ItalMill , enough for testing.
I'm in touch with Fiorenzato dealer only, I asked already for Filter spare parts diagram, but the communication is quite slow - I wanted to order some spare parts for F4E (through dealer), but they were not available in the factory stock, when the dealer made an order with Fiorenzato, so I doubt that new Filter spare parts are available yet, but we'll see...

Hey Randy just wanted to say thanks so much for sharing this! I got one from this seller and it arrived on time in perfect condition. My previous grinder was a Breville and the difference in grind consistency, noise, speed, and build quality is unbelievable. At almost 30% off it's really hard to beat this if you're in the market for a budget espresso grinder. The only downside is that it doesn't fit under my cabinets Guess I'm now in the market for a shorter hopper.

Peter_SVK are you still offering those stickers, by any chance?

Yes, Jim, PM sent .

Jim, You're welcome. I got one too, arrived on Friday. I was busy over the weekend, so will be setting it up today or tomorrow.
The hopper is huge. I'm debating on trying to cut it down, or try to sell it and get the shorter one.

I received the reply from dealer, that F4E Filter is not available yet, so the spare parts. Fiorenzato refused to provide F4E Filter exploded view and spare parts list yet.

Peter, thanks for the info. Never understood why a company would not provide an exploded view of their machines to a dealer or buyer.
Maybe that will change once the machine becomes available. Optimistic on the fit considering same body. Price and parts availability are another thing.

There are few ways how to shorten the hopper:
1/ To purchase the shorter one (the easiest way )

2/ To cut the original one, useful tips:
Bean Hopper shortening (Rocket Fausto) - **PICS & VIDS**
Hopper chopper - making the commercial grinder fit in the kitchen

3/ To buy suitable one from different grinder (e.g. Compak) and make an adapter.
