Did you know there are 2 different types of dosing funnels, one with a inner collar/lip and one with an outer one? the normcore dosing funnel has an outer collar/lip, which means it secures to the outside of the portafilter basket, keeping it lined up. i didn't realize when i bought it, but the advantages to the outer lip is that there is no space or gap when the dosing funnel is removed (the inner lip takes up space along the edge of the basket, leaving a ring of space without coffee grounds). having the lip on the outside means, when you're done with your wdt, you don't have to do anything else besides tamp. at first, i was getting grounds all over the place when i was tamping because the grounds would push out to the sides as i was pushing down. i realized that the tamp (normcore v4 tamper) fit perfectly in the dosing funnel, so before i removed the funnel, i would lightly tamp with the tamper, giving me a little more space to place the tamper without worrying about grounds going all over the place. the magnets on this dosing funnel work pretty well, although, depending on your basket, it may work better than others. when magnetically attaching the funnel to different baskets, flipping the funnel upside down and shaking, holding the basket, the dosing funnel held pretty securely to the pressurized baskets that came w/ my delonghi, as well as the basket that came with my bottomless portafilter. the ims precision competition basket however, doesn't hold as securely. i thought at first it was because the lip of the basket was too big, but it turns out it's the same size as everything else. it turns out that while most of the top of the basket is flat, the inner edge is raised, maybe to help keep grounds from coming out. that raised bump on the top of the basket, is taller than the other baskets, so the metal that is to come in contact with the magnet is further away compared to the other baskets. still, it holds it securely enough while using it normally, so i won't be doing any modifications to the ims basket. the normcore also flares out at the top, making it wider. this helps with wdt-ing, allowing to work at more angles compared to the straight walled versions. it also makes pouring your grounds into the basket easier. although a little more expensive compared to other dosing funnels, i am very satisfied with how it makes it easy to wdt and tamp without making a mess. there was a little learning curve/trial and error to find the best way to use it, but i figured it out on day 2. would definitely consider buying another if i get a different machine with a different portafilter size Read more

Perfect fit on the Normcore bottomless portafilter. The magnets are definitely strong enough to hold the funnel in place. I'm wondering if the other reviews stating otherwise are using portafilters made with a less magnetic material. No issues with magnets falling out either (based on daily use over the last two months) Read more

Strong magnets, it works as advertised. Read more

It looks modern and stylish. The funnel fits my 51mm portafilter very well and does stay put if you're careful inverting it. It's solidly built and feels durable. It greatly helps keep the countertop tidy and allows me to use a large dose before tamping. The one improvement I would ask for is slightly stronger magnets that would hold more securely when I invert it. I tried to place it over the cup of grounds, and the funnel slipped off when I flipped them back over. It kinda works, you just have to be super careful. Better to just pour the grounds into it.

I'm feeling a little odd because I was elated that the Normcore 51mm Espresso Dosing Funnel V2 is a perfect fit for my ECP3420 stock portafilter, and no one should be this excited by a coffee attachment yet here I am. I like to push my double shots a little heavy and this funnel really does make it a LOT easier to drop it in and whisk around with the WDT tool without creating a mess. Its a perfect match up, no gaps in between the two pieces, the magnets actually do stick a bit but its a secure enough fit that it won't be an issue. You can even use the stock tamper with the funnel still on, or remove it and use your own tamper. I actually have a new bottomless portafilter handle and basket coming tomorrow, and they're from Normcore as well so shouldn't be any issues, but with the stock setup this funnel alone will really make it easier on your process. And it looks really slick in the silver, too, really nicely made, nice weight to it, definite recommend. Read more

Used multiple times every day and I love it. As the photo shows, I can dump the dose right into the portafilter without worry about spilling any grounds, a few taps on the side and everything is in the basket. Actually bought it for a Lelit 57mm basket and it fits just fine. Magnets are stronger than expected. Read more

Great dosing funnel. Perfect sized for use with WDT. Not sure why you would need a bigger one but this one just works. Black anodizing is holding up great but I think lets grinds cling on to it. If I could redo my purchase I would probably opt for the non coated one! Read more
