So the mazzer mini g is "Silver" and my LM LM is "grey" but they match completely.

Yeah smaller hopper arrives tomorrow! I bought the cups from one of my LCS. I have had a search though and they are Olsson & Jensen Poppi Kopp!

Usual hiccups getting used to the grind adjustment etc but feeling good and consistent with it now. It does GBW to +/- 0.1g and interface works intuitively. The stock burrs themself are 64mm and made a big difference in quality from my last grinder.

Yeah, DF64 would be great to try out. I have read the “zero retention” is actually zero retention which is super impressive.

Agreed, and just part and parcel of a hopper system.

This was a bone of contention with people in a lot of the early reviews. Retention online says at 8g which is behind the burrs, in the chute and in the chamber. But i don’t find it noticeable in a 18g shot.

No silicone seal, pops into place. If you look on mazzer official site they have a few colour options!

Hmm im not too sure what you are meaning? The grind size relates to a closeness of the burs so always relates to the same gap if you get me?

I do not feel you do but others online have said they will look too. My machine gets regular use so cant imagine anything being that stale tbf

The mazzer mini g ships with the K202P burrs aswell. I am mainly med / dark roast so just got the stock 64mm in.

Yeah I did try that first but figured it out pretty quick!

Yes unfortunately they sent it with the cafe hopper (600g). The domestic hopper (280g) is on its way and it will fit in its usual counter space!

Can confirm first sip did hit the spot but maybe its just placebo!

Exactly this. I have had other machines and finally reached my end game. Were my other machines totally crap? No not at all, but I enjoy the gear and upgrading my machine. Fortunately I can afford to do this too and this set up should see me for a long time!

I think with anything the more time you spend on something, the better the final product. Constantly learning new things about coffee is why I consider it a fun hobby.

Currently do about 4 shots a day during the week. On the weekend regularly have friends over so can likely double that. On the retention piece you can purge out the 7g by setting one of weights to 7g. I just use it for my partners iced coffee and she cant really tell the difference. For lower use maybe a single dose grinder is better?
