Normcore 54mm Magnetic Dosing Funnel V2 - Espresso Coffee Dosing Ring - 29mm Anodized Aluminum with 9 Neodymium Magnets Fits 54mm Breville Sage Portafilter - Non-stick coating White

Facilito mucho mi proceso para crear espresso, ya que antes batallaba mucho para poner todo el cafe que necesitaba en la canasta del portafiltro, y por mas que tratada de tener mucho cuidado, solia perder un poco de cafe en este proceso pero con este dosificador eso ya es historia. Lo estuve utilizando tanto con el portafiltro que viene en la Delonghi Stilosa como con el Normcore y lo que les puedo decir es que en ambos lo hace bien, sin embargo, noto que es ligeramente mejor con el portafiltro Normcore.

There's not much to add to what's already been said in other reviews, but my experience with this dosing funnel has been very positive. I have an E61 58mm toolset, and the funnel fits perfectly on my portafilter.My workflow is as follows:1. Grind into the portafilter without funnel in place2. Add funnel to portafilter and place in tamping station (wooden box)3. WDT4. Remove funnel5. TampThe magnets are perfect (not too strong and not too weak), and the funnel does not move during WDT. When pulling the funnel off the portafilter, it will NOT pull the basket up.Price was very reasonable, and I'm happy I have it along my other espresso tools. Would buy again.

Out of the box it has small dents. None are larger than a mm but there are many which makes it look as though it was tossed around in a bin with other metal objects. Comparing this to a funnel I purchased for less than half the price which is much more nicely finished, this is slightly disappointing. Otherwise, it fits an IMS basket and the magnets are adequate

I bought this magnetic dosing funnel because using the plastic ROK one, I've occasionally accidentally knocked it off the portafilter and made a mess with the coffee grinds. This has so far eliminated this issue.

Did you know there are 2 different types of dosing funnels, one with a inner collar/lip and one with an outer one?the normcore dosing funnel has an outer collar/lip, which means it secures to the outside of the portafilter basket, keeping it lined up. i didn't realize when i bought it, but the advantages to the outer lip is that there is no space or gap when the dosing funnel is removed (the inner lip takes up space along the edge of the basket, leaving a ring of space without coffee grounds). having the lip on the outside means, when you're done with your wdt, you don't have to do anything else besides tamp.at first, i was getting grounds all over the place when i was tamping because the grounds would push out to the sides as i was pushing down. i realized that the tamp (normcore v4 tamper) fit perfectly in the dosing funnel, so before i removed the funnel, i would lightly tamp with the tamper, giving me a little more space to place the tamper without worrying about grounds going all over the place.the magnets on this dosing funnel work pretty well, although, depending on your basket, it may work better than others. when magnetically attaching the funnel to different baskets, flipping the funnel upside down and shaking, holding the basket, the dosing funnel held pretty securely to the pressurized baskets that came w/ my delonghi, as well as the basket that came with my bottomless portafilter. the ims precision competition basket however, doesn't hold as securely.i thought at first it was because the lip of the basket was too big, but it turns out it's the same size as everything else. it turns out that while most of the top of the basket is flat, the inner edge is raised, maybe to help keep grounds from coming out. that raised bump on the top of the basket, is taller than the other baskets, so the metal that is to come in contact with the magnet is further away compared to the other baskets. still, it holds it securely enough while using it normally, so i won't be doing any modifications to the ims basket.the normcore also flares out at the top, making it wider. this helps with wdt-ing, allowing to work at more angles compared to the straight walled versions. it also makes pouring your grounds into the basket easier.although a little more expensive compared to other dosing funnels, i am very satisfied with how it makes it easy to wdt and tamp without making a mess. there was a little learning curve/trial and error to find the best way to use it, but i figured it out on day 2.would definitely consider buying another if i get a different machine with a different portafilter size
