Suction Feet for Mazzer Mini

One of the most frustrating things about using my Mazzer Mini is that it tends to slide all over the countertop when I am using the doser. I was wondering if anybody has ever seen or known of a way to apply suction feet to replace the existing feet.

I had a Mini, and suffered the same problem. I solved it by cutting out small square pieces of black craft foam (I think it was 2mm thick), which I placed under the existing feet. No more slipping, and as an added bonus, they absorbed a lot of the vibration, which saved me from being beaten to death by Her Ladyship when I was pulling shots at 0h-God-thirty in the morning. The stuff I used had an embellished pattern on one side (like a hatch pattern or something like that).
You can get sheets on Amazon inexpensively, or at a craft store.

Have you tried roughing up the rubber feet with some fine grit sand paper?

Home Depot has a bunch of sticky pads, I had the same problem with mine.......was a very cheap fix.

Have you found that the sticky pads from HD tend to slide off, leaving a sticky residue? I have them on the bottom of my Macbook Air, and I usually have to replace them every few months due to this problem.

I put a cheap mouse pad under mine, one of those thin ones that come with a computer. It worked fine and dampened the noise some too.

That's a really good idea, and probably easier to source the materials! Wish I had thought of that!
Now honestly, who wouldn't want a "Finding Nemo" or "Hello Kitty" pad under their EK43 or Mazzer Mini?
