Rileys,

I did it myself.

I modified a Rocky Snout with my Dremel.

Rileys,

The respect I feel for you is beyond measure.

If I have offended you at any time, I sincerely apologize.

Below is a photo of the doser I removed, before attempting to consider a Rocky Snout attachment.

Morfious, I see you have the same set up I have (or will once the dang UPS man gets here with my new Innova I-1!) If you don't mind my asking, what do you have your Innova set on for grind fineness? I know it'll be different than mine due to variables (beans, humidity, roast, etc...) but I'm looking for ball park (to help speed up the break in period.) Have you been pretty happy with the combination thus far? You can email me off thread so as to not hijack the shine thread. But to keep with the thread, I'll be posting mine once all set up. Thanks in advance! Tim

Looking at all these shrine fotos, it sure is cool to see that almost everyone has a serious grinder! When I moved last September, my condo had one of those typical storage rooms, right off the entrance, where the electrical box is, and your typical exposed single light. It also had one plug in the wall, shared on the same breaker with several other plugs in the home. I will eventually use one of the spare breakers to put new plugs in the room, but for now, the 110v LM, pump and grinder are sharing a breaker exchange with other things - must remember not to plug the vacuum into the same series ;) Here's my shrine, in a room now called "The Espresso Room". More to come. Mark (Click for larger image)
