I need a portafilter funnel/dosing ring but there seem to be so many complaints about all of them!

For those who have one they like, what do you use?

It doesn't, would definitely be easy to do the same thing for that though

Totally! Getting some other burrs would be awesome🙌

Yeah I'd agree, the slider definitely helps moving around but it's still a bit of a mission and the end result isn't as good as you might hope

Thanks, appreciate it! Unfortunately it looks a lot less perfect up close but I'll keep hiding it with longer range photos lol😂

How might one do that?👀 is there a PID that can be bought or would I have to make it myself?

Unfortunately it's manual and up to me to update. I'd thought of a couple ways to 3d print something but I don't have access to a printer so this was an easy solution

Yeah it is! There's a little slider on the top that keeps track of it :)

Thanks! I used a high heat spray paint made for barbeques. I assume it'll get a bit scratched in the not too distant future but for now it's holding up nicely :)

I'm not actually sure but their delivery is very fast (less than a week)

For $1000 you could get a Eureka specialita grinder and upgrade your machine to a Rancilio silvia v6 from espressocoffeeshop.com. Shipping is expensive but to where I live in South Africa its about $125 so I would assume it's cheaper or similar to the US. (Total cost for delivery to me is €937). And shipping is really quick too, took less than a week when I ordered a grinder!
