Penance FWIW, I recently upgraded the burrs on my Ceado to Ceado’s own ‘opalglide’ ones - static and clumping went right up. I had the grinder stall a few times on a bean that the old, uncoated burrs were grinding with ease because of clumping and static within the grinder
I assure you that the chamber is normally very clean. This completely blocked the grinder!
Niche Zero help
Yeah same experience with new burrs here. I wasn’t getting the best results out of the Mazzer with new burrs for probably 10kg. Probably doesn’t take that much but mine definitely improved.
yep - ps do you not have a dosing funnel imo its a must if dosing to the pf
Decent De1pro v1.45 - Niche Duo - Niche Zero - Decent is the best machine ever made -

How tall is your dosing ring?
- Edited
Penance Not very, about 10mm. I have a taller one on order.
From my own experience of 3 years dosing into a porta filter directly, you’ll need a funnel that’s at least 3cm tall above the basket. Anything less than that will be messy.
This is the one I’m currently using:
Works well.
There are ones which are magnetic. This particular one is not.
MediumRoastSteam ive ordered a 30mm, with the current post service i expect it sometime next year 😁
You can get dosing rings that sit over the lip of the PF which will eradicate that issue of the grinds on the edge.
I’ll get a pic when I’m home, pretty sure it’s just a cheapo one from Amazon but it’s magnetic and great.

Ernie1 - The one linked above sits on the PF basket, rather than inside. e.g.: You can tamp with the funnel on if that’s what floats your boat. 🤣

Hopefully 30mm is deep enough?

Penance It reminds me a bit of this character:
(and you thought Clive Barker had invented pinhead? Hah! Same origin as an espresso!)
BTW - I’m joking. It doesn’t look too bad for ‘direct out of the grinder’.
CoyoteOldMan Thats me on a Saturday morning!
Penance Lucky you, that’s all I can say. I’m living “la vie en rose” with nary a hair on top…
