Show us your setup!
This was yesterday morning, Sunday, and the photo is of Sunday breakfast in kit-form: croissants ready for warming in the oven, oranges for squeezing in large orange juicer and the coffee ready for the off 😎

Here’s my current set-up, a bit cluttered but not had time to sort it. Ignore the Sage Nespresso machine, it’s only for emergencies 😅. La Pavoni Pro with a temp sensor on group head. Right side is my Frankenstein Mazzer SJ… Removed the doser and changed wiring to make it turn on with the switch. I made the cover and funnel from sheet aluminium and bent it to shape with my hands 💪. There’s a little cap that I pop over the funnel when in use, and I pop it off to get all grounds out. Bellows on top to push everything out to ~0.1g retention.
Hi All,
My setup from Lelit family. Installed the flow control yesterday so a new journey begins.

I thought that posting a pic here would be a good motivator for cleaning the setup, so here we are. I am that person to use a stock Mazzer Major at home for single dosing 😱 I am in the honeymoon with that grinder and I’ll probably get a David Wong mod.
i had the wong mod and got rid, i now have the original funnel, and a brush its much easier than the wong kit,
mazzer major is a great grinder if you have the space

was a bit of a faff, blow here, tap this tap that,
beautifully made product, and well packaged, i just decided id rather use the oe funnel, i now grind, brush and a final puls gets everything out,
i dont drink really dark, but yeah it had been fine for all these, i dont do oily beans though, if i get oily beans i bin them

Single dosing for Mazzers are a bit annoying with brushing and blowing etc. still good if you have a small budget. The Danial Wong mod was too expensive for me so I just made my own for essentially nothing as I had spare metal lying around. Honestly I would rather just have the Mazzer mini doser funnel thing rather than the other mods, mainly because mods like Danial Wongs are still quite messy. It’s easier to just brush the inside of the funnel and have a clean surface.
this is wong vs oe

Petre What is ideal is Cuprajake second image with that funnel. I think only the mini has it? Not sure though. Some people made a similar mod for the SJ and Major by buying a funnel.
My design is really easy to make. My inspiration was origami, but with metal instead. The funnel is actually just one piece of metal folded. But my first design still needs improvement (no time to improve atm sadly). It can be made with just aluminium sheets, some metal sheers, a drill, and something to bend against (like a table edge or ideally a vice) and probably cost a few quid to make and maybe 2 hours.

Petre try evilbay or AliExpress, you’re looking for a plunger funnel for making octopus balls or sometimes called a fudge funnel. About 10 quid. It’s going to have to be seriously modified but it’s 304 stainless and almost same size as Mazzer funnel. Been used by a lot of modders…jimbojohn on old forum has a walkthrough with very helpful pics.( have one on the way for my Fiorenzato F6)
Yeah i was lucky enough to find mine second hand, but it wasnt cheap, but is oe
