Posted Fri May 16, 2008, 2:39pm Subject: Chute Modification for 'chuteless' Capresso Infinity. **solved**
Hey all,
Ok, I now have a Stainless Steel Capresso Infinity 565 burr grinder, and it works wonderfully with my Starbucks Barista machine. Although using the grinds bin is no big deal, i would love to be able to have a chute that would pour directly into the porafilter.
Does anyone know of any mods to achieve this? I am thinking of ways to affix a chute to the hole where the grinds come out. Also, I was thinking of attaching a spout to some sort of objects (like a block of wood). That way, I can place the block of wood in the grinder where the grind bin would be, and the chute would be married with the exit hole perfectly...
Ok, it just so happens that the cavity of the grinder where the grind contain went fits the portafilter PERFECTLY. Even with the WDT cup in place (I use a trimmed pudding cup containter). There is literally no spillage, or missed grinds!
This method would require me to time the grind if I had a full hopper, and check on amount - but I just put 3 tablespoons of beans in the hopper for each double shot - so I just grind the entire contents at once no clumping...
