Now that I have the upgrade bug for a new grinder, I am seriously considering the MACAP M4 or 5 or whatever the correct number is. Mazzer Mini just too tall for my kitchen. Does anyone know if the dosing fork can be easily removed from the MACAP? I fix drip coffee for my wife in the AM in addition to espresso for me and need a versatile grinder that will allow the versatility for either grind. I know this is heresy, but reality is what it is, and I don't want a second grinder on my counter top for the drip/french press applications.

Hi;
I've got a MACAP, and while it's a great grinder, I don't think you'd want to try to take the PF fork on and off routinely. It's attached with a couple of small nuts (picture: Click Here (www.1st-line.com)) and doesn't appear to be easily detachable. How about collecting coffee for drip into a separate, shallow container?

Guess I could do that. I use a small pitcher now on my doserless grinder, which works well as I sometimes travel and grind quantities for my wife while out of town. How deep of a container can you fit between the fork and doser?

I just read about modifying the mazzer bean hopper so it will fit. One person just cut it down and bought a doser lid that fit perfectly (and looks stock too since it's a doser lid). Someone else used a plastic spice jar that fit really well.
