Anyone tried this? (single dose hopper for Smart Grinder Pro)
One of the reasons I struggle with dialing in my shots is that even two back to back shots with the same grind and beans can taste different. I don't purge. So I'm wondering if retention is a problem and in the long run this is cheaper than throwing away grounds

There's some useful(?) looking ones on Etsy with a bellows to blow grinds though which looks like it would help.

I always blow my Mazzer Super Jolly out with one of those rocket blowers after each use. The retention is surprisingly large (always noticeable after my wife has used the grinder and not blown it out after, a lot of retained grounds come out to the point which would surely affect the shot).

I have the Etsy single dose hopper for my Eureka Mignon Manual, it's perfect for my needs.

Not sure if single dosing is the issue - do you WDT? I don't, but reason I ask is shots can vary widely based on distribution if your grinder clumps so that can explain back to back inconsistency, whereas lack of purging will not be an issue if you are brewing back to back and you weigh output.

i've not used it but it appears you can get single dose hopper upgrades for the smart grinder pro which would help swap between beans using single dosing.
