Baratza Single Dose Hopper (for Vario and Forte)

thingiverse

This is a single dose hopper for Baratza meant to fit the Vario and Forte although it should work for the encore and virtuoso. With the cap in place it should at most fit around a ~28g dose but this is really meant for a single espresso shot. This was made to fit a bellow with a 60mm diameter, such as [this](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D0I21CI?psc=1). While doing the flapper [flip](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D0I21CI?psc=1) on the vario/forte does cut down retention to nearly nothing, this may help when switching large changes in grind size. I recommend making a hole on the top of bellow to break the vacuum when released and placing an o-ring on the outer diameter as shown in the pictures. A version sized to fix the levercraft bellow/hopper can be found in the files. You may need light sanding on the hopper switch protrusions depending on your printer's ability to print overhangs. Sometimes, due to printer tolerances, it may not fully engage the safety switch. To fix this you can place some tape or cardboard on it, to make sure it fully depresses. I have also attached the fusion360 if anyone wants to modify this to their needs!
