making a change to the Rossi 45

That's art. Chrome plated loveliness.

Ain't she purdy?

OK, I give up.  What is this huge thing called?  Brand name, not your nickname?

Since I last posted on this thread, I have replaced the burrs on the Rossi and changed it over to the Rossi automatic grind collar which gives it an 80 step grind adjustment (up from 48).

Today, I adjusted the grind to get a 28 sec 2.5 ounce shot from my Elektra Microcasa Semiautomatica. I had a full Guiness effect with crema that lasted a pretty long time. Flavor was what highly fruited and balanced. This was a pretty fruity blend I have been drinking as drip. So that carried well into the shot.

A pretty satisfying experience.

I like the mod you did, it makes the RR45 just that much nicer when it comes to dialing the grind in for a particular bean. Like I tell anyone who'll listen; make your last grinder the first one you buy: There's just no substitute for a quality grinder, and spending money for less is a waste.

After you've gotten a Super Jolly, Major, MD50/MD80, ZIP, or RR45, what's the point,  unless it's for eye candy? Not that that's not justification enough for me!

Spoken like an old guy...  whose wife won't let him buy the grinder he really wants.  C'mon Tex, we know you want a Robur.

Had one - sold it: it's just another grinder! My next grinder will be a Swift, or I'll keep what I've got.

Why didn't you buy the Swift 1st

What, and pay full price? One of the key principles in acquiring things; never - ever - consider paying retail, nor even close to retail!

I presume that means you are following this:

I see there is a Rossi 45 "On Demand". I wonder If I could take off the doser and replace it with the OD dispenser?

I can only imagine what they'd sock you for that dispenser, assuming they'll sell just that and that it'd fit on your grinder.  My guess is that it would be cost-prohibitive. 

For the price of the OD dispenser, you could buy B|Mazzer's Mini.

I probably could use a tin can and a funnel?

Milo and I both modded our Rossi RR45's into doserless models.  I'll show you next time you're over.
