I used to find this, but now have my system pretty much down. I bought a new spout as the one that came with it had somehow been partially melted. If anything this initially made things messier...
However I then got one of these dosing cups whch catches all the grinds. It also flips nicely into the portafilter, is ideal for putting on the scales to weigh beans before hand and sits on my gaggia holding my diy wine cork/paper clip grind disperser. Best stocking filler I've ever had.
Finally, as your grind is coming to the end, simply take the lid of hopper on and off a few times and the woosh of air pushes the loose grinds through the chute. I think I'm getting next to no grind retention doing this and still zero mess.
