The dosing container has been designed to fit our filter baskets perfectly we use the dosing container for the initial stage of distribution. 

The dosing container purpose is for transferring the coffee from the grinder to the Portafilter without spilling and making a mess, saves wasted coffee so you’re going to save a bit of money in that respect.  

Importantly. this de-clumps the coffee to make an even density inside the portafilter. This promotes even water flow and it promotes more flavour that comes out of the coffee.
