Simple installation, effective in converting to single dosing
I considered the single dose model of the Eureka Mignon, which has a bellows very much like this and is at a 30 degree angle. That one was quite expensive. Getting the very attractively priced Whole Latte Love exclusive Mignon Facile (Exactly like the Silenzo only without the grind timer, for like $100 less) plus this single dose hopper plus 3D printing a perfectly fitting stand that puts it at a 30 degree angle basically got me something very close to the single dose model for a whole lot less money.I prefer single dosing as I like to keep the beans stored in a vacuum canister rather than leaving some in a hopper on top of the grinder to oxidize. I can weigh out exactly what I need, and the reality of this single dose hopper is that it does actually effectively blow out most of the residual grounds. Without it, retention would be somewhere around 1.0-1.3g, but this gets you to somewhere under 0.3g retained. What you put in is virtually the same as what comes out. With the last tiny bit of what was retained last time being replaced by the small retention this time, you should pretty much land on the dose you were expecting.You'd think that even with higher retention that "old retention out / new in" gets you close as well, but keep in mind that just less than 0.3g being retained is far less stale oxidized grounds to be mixed in with your fresh dose rather than 1.3g or so, which is more significant. Also, less retention means that there is less opportunity for variability in how much ends up in your dose. Having much more left in the burrs just increases the possibility that a different dose results than expected as it's more to possibly come out next time or maybe it retains a lot more from shot to shot. Anyway, one less variable, or at least minimizing one of them.My only complaint is that this thing is probably slightly more expensive than I'd have expected for what it is, which is a not very complex few pieces made from materials that aren't super costly, but I'm guessing it's one of those things where there are design and development costs and maybe not a massive volume to be sold so the unit price ends up needing to be higher than you'd figure to get them to a point of making something from it. Fine. For me it's still well worth it.

Great Accessory that looks and feels OEM
There are plenty of 3D printed options, but I was specifically looking for something that is more refined for my Eureka Mignon Silenzio. This fits perfectly, works great for single dosing, and keeping retention low. Although this is more expensive than 3D printed options, the fit and finish are worth it. It looks amazing on the Silenzio and looks like it’s supposed to be there unlike other options. The aluminum cover is feels great and has some heft to it. It looks to be anodized and has a nice finish. Overall very happy with my purchase and would recommend!

Exactly what I was looking for
Works like a charm. Installed in my Eureka Mignon Notte (aka the Manuale) in seconds, just like the normal hopper does, great fit. The silicone bellows is sturdy enough that it doesn't sink with the lid on, but compresses easily. Pumped it after first installing, and got an entire gram (when you're dealing with 17g doses, that's a pretty significant amount) of ground coffee out that was just sitting in the machine.My only gripe, and it's a minor one, is that the lid is a bit awkward to remove, it sits flush with the bellows, which looks nice, but makes it tricky to get a grip. My solution: squeeze the bellows from the sides and then grab. Easy enough to work around.

Eureka espresso grinders need bellows like this. This is a good one, with a minor issue.
If you have a Eureka grinder you know. They are arguably the best espresso grinders for home use. But they have a strong tendency to get clogged up, because of a little metal screen at the top of the chute. If you don't blow it out with a bellows very frequently, fine grounds accumulate and clog it up. You can disassemble and clean it but who wants to do that? With a good bellows you can blow the grounds through. It's best to do that after every use.This one has four collapsable stages, which is better than those with 2 or 3. It works great.Some reviewers have noted some problems, and initially I did, too. The main problem is that it doesn't come with any instructions and it is possible to use it in multiple ways. Only one of them works right.If you try to leave it in place and take the top off to add coffee, you'll be disappointed. The top is hard to remove, while the whole bellows tends to fall off the grinder when you do. It comes with a big black rubber band. Perhaps that is meant to hold the bellows in the grinder? Who knows. Maybe that's meant for use with another brand of grinder? The paperwork that came with the bellows indicates it's for several different brands of grinder, not just the Eureka Mignon.The way this device works properly is to remove the bellows every time you add beans. Don't pull the top off, and don't try to make the bellows stay in the grinder. Forget the rubber band. It's very simple and easy.When you add beans with the bellows removed, there's only enough space for about one dose. That's OK.

Works as advertised.
I really like the design of this hopper (specifically the bellow design that allows you to easily ensure that all of the grounds are expelled from the grinder). It fits perfectly and the funnel portion holds just the right amount for single dosing.

Perfect fit to a single dose grinder
It fit great, but it comes out easy from the base. Easy to clean and looks great.

Very good quality and essential for single dosing
I use this everyday when I grind my beans. I find that not using the hopper keeps the beans fresher longer. The fit for this is perfect and almost as if it was OEM. The quality of the material is durable and shows no signs of wear.This was an essential piece for me to get. There were some DIY things available but this has an OEM feel that is worth it IMO considering the price of the grinder itself. Easy to install and clean, no issues with noise or durability.
