Fantastic.
Glad you can taste the difference already. I too went from the IB2 to the Mazzer and was blown away by how much better shots tasted.
I’d read about that pancake mod, but never got round to doing it. Please post pics if you do go down that route and I hope the machine serves you well for many years to come. It’s certainly built to last!
TTM-
Yeah reckon I’m gonna order the pancake thing. Just need to figure out how to make blowing it out less messy. Currently it just flings grounds everywhere. Might get a little brush to do the chute on the main body.
There’s a guy that’s made a nice mod for both the top and the front, but at £100+, it seems a bit spendy for now. Might try and make a top cap single doser from wood, hopefully a smaller hole at the top will stop grounds blowing out everywhere. I’ve been putting a tamper on top of the beans as they grind to stop popcorning too.

@TTM ‘s Mazzer arrived today.
Took some messing around with, and I’ve gone for a temporary ghetto single dose setup rather than use the normal doser. Makes much better espresso than the Iberital, or dialling in seems a lot easier at least.
Only did some tasting, as it’s 8pm, and also had to give the Gaggia a bit of love to get it working after a long break since it’s last use.
Still, looking forward to having an espresso in the morning rather than just making a cup of filter that I end up downing.
I’ve read that this pancake doser can be modded into a single dose chute. Which is less than a tenth of the price of the mazzer one!
