Mazzer Mini and Sunbeam EM6910

I knock up a flat white with my new Mazzer Mini and old Sunbeam EM6910. This is the second coffee I've made with the new grinder (and consumed). About the fifth shot I've pulled. The grind was just about spot on from the factory for the beans I was using (five senses Ethiopian Harrar). The extraction was pretty good, the milk had terrible texturing, I need to upgrade to a machine that can actually steam milk properly. One day. I'm experimenting with the Mazzer with no hopper. As you can see, I've worked out how much coffee to scoop in and grind, hopperless style. I'm entertaining this weekend so will throw the hopper back on for that. As you can see, it takes a while to clean the doser chamber. I've since whipped out the mini-dyson and just vac'd up the doser chamber, it's faster. I've also since learned that If I let the grinder completely grind, and THEN start using the doser, there is no need to distribute grinds by rotating the PF in the mazzer PF holder. I can just 'clack clack clack' and it's full and even. A long way to go with this new grinder. Very happy so far. A lovely step up from the Sunbeam EM0480
