        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.

            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’.

                    Penance Lucky you, that’s all I can say. I’m living “la vie en rose” with nary a hair on top…

                        This is inside the Mazzer funnel after grinding just now, so there’s obviously static. It’s not a zero retention grinder of course but shows that static is inherently an issue to some degree.

                        My Dad has the Mahlkönig x54 which has a similar chute to the Niche. He also gets some static after about a year of use, especially with filter grinds.
