You weigh your dose – let's say 18 grams for a double espresso – and pour it into the hopper. The grinder grinds empty. Normally, coffee grounds would now remain in the chute (the so-called retention).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNow comes the \"Blow-Up\" effect:\u003c\/b\u003e You press the silicone bellow firmly a few times. The air blast actively expels the remaining coffee grounds from the grinding chamber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur Measurement:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStandard Hopper:\u003c\/b\u003e Often up to 2.5g retention (depending on roast and static charge).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWith Single Dose Bellow:\u003c\/b\u003e We almost always achieve \u003cb\u003eInput = Output\u003c\/b\u003e. If we put in 18.0g, 17.9g to 18.0g ends up in the portafilter. This is a quantum leap for consistency in the cup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCritical View: What you need to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs everything perfect? Not entirely. Since the heavy bean pressure from above is missing, the beans tend to \"popcorn\" more during grinding – meaning they jump around a bit wilder in the grinder. This changes the grinding noise and can extend the grinding time by a few seconds. But: The result in the cup absolutely justifies it. You get maximum freshness and can switch bean types at any time without waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConclusion: Is the upgrade worth it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for? If you pull 10 identical espressos in a row every day: Stick with the normal hopper. But for all home baristas who \u003cb\u003elike to experiment\u003c\/b\u003e, drink espresso in the morning and filter coffee in the afternoon, or simply don't want to throw away 3 grams of coffee first thing in the morning (to \"purge\"), this kit is a clear recommendation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have rarely seen an accessory that enhances a grinder so massively for such a fair price.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PNT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52840120942856,"sku":"Hoper","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0406\/3343\/4269\/files\/SingelDoseHopper.webp?v=1765639486","url":"https:\/\/kaffeemachers.shop\/en\/products\/single-dose-hopper","provider":"kaffeemachers.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
