Or is that a big headache? Thanks! back to top AndyPanda Senior Member Joined: 12 Jul 2010 Posts: 768 Location: San Francisco Bay Area Expertise: I love coffee Espresso: Olympia Cremina, Various...

You tend to get static and the grounds flying sideways and sticking. I find the doser very convenient - but the noise of the clacking does tempt me, sometimes, to convert to doserless. Whenever I see a cheap, stainless martini shaker at the thrift store (some of them have a narrow bottom), I am tempted to buy it and make a doserless funnel out of it. back to top calblacksmith Moderator Joined: 25 Nov 2007 Posts: 5,769 Location: Riverside, Ca, U.S.A.

Mazzer sells the doserless funnel and adapter plates. They screw on in 5 minutes and it is a clean conversion. If you want to DIY, it gets much more involved. My PERSONAL opinion is that the debate doser/doserless is much over blown and there really isn't that much difference. I prefer to have the cleaner and much more user friendly doser but YMMV.   In real life, my name is Wayne P.
