Hi all.

I have a home grinder, very small and simple, but works for me.

So, now I need a coffee doser but, of course, my small grinder don't have it.

I don't want to spend money, now, buying a grinder with a doser. I just want a manual doser.

Is there anyone who knows where can I find one manual coffee doser (with different levels of dosage)?

Of course I seached in the web, but just found grinders with doser.

I am not sure why you need a doser, but . . . many companies make them, including Mazzer

Ok, thanks!

But 238 dollars (eBay!!!).

I'm using a balance at this moment (to dose my coffee shot).

It's boring, I drink a lot of coffee per day (and it isn't only me).

So... almost companies make grinders with doser, but I'm looking for a doser only (like your Macap or Mazzer). It's hard to find, even your suggestions I do not found in Amazon or other stores (only grinders with doser).

Thanks any way, at least I know it exists and now I know some companies that make this... 'tool'.

PS: sorry for my bad english.

This one's kind of funny and is intended more for dispensing preground coffee into a drip machine, but maybe you'd be interested in checking it out - it might be something you could use since the other options are a lot more expensive:

Zevro Indispensable Coffee Dispenser

They're around $20 at places like Amazon...thought I'd at least mention it.

Perdoe meu português mau….

Os feijões de café irão velhos muito rapidamente uma vez que são mmoídos. Se você deve comprar o café da pre-terra, armazene-o em um recipiente hermético, e não em um destes doseadores.

*******

Please forgive my REALLY bad Portuguese ....

Coffee beans will go stale very quickly once they have been ground.  You are much better off to store pre-ground coffee in an airtight container, rather than in one of these dosers.

This is the simplest doser that we have figured out so far      Click Here (www.orphanespresso.com)

No moving parts,  nothing to go wrong.   And it works fine.
