<p>Agree with Brady, that's the cheapest fix for the problem. For a more professional option, you could get the Elvinator from Espresso Parts. <a href="http://www.espressoparts.com/ELVINATOR_V1?&search_id=1252620" target="_blank">http://www.espressoparts.com/ELVINATOR_V1?&search_id=1252620</a></p>

<p>Sounds like a Super Jolly to me, though there are plenty of others that do this. It seems to be worse as static rises in the winter months too.</p>

<p>The quickest and cheapest fix is to make a little chute out of an index card, file folder, or any other stiffer cardstock.

Once you have a good fit, mark where the ends are, remove it, trim off excess length (you just need a little overlap), and tape it together. The goal is a tube that fits perfectly, is wide enough to stick up in the doser hole enough to stay in place, and hang down about a quarter inch. It may take some trial and error, but you should get something far better in a slow afternoon.</p>

<p>What kind of grinder are you using? In our new shop I got two Mazzer Major E's, and they're fantastic. My other shop has a modded Super Jolly, and it does what you're describing. It's getting replaced in the next couple months.</p>
