In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the changes made to a grinder, including the addition of a side feeding system to improve workflow by allowing beans to feed directly into the Burr chamber. Despite the small space and dosing cup provided, the new side funnel should make loading beans easier. The grinder does not have the option to grind directly into a portafilter, as it feeds into a dosing cup. The magnetic system used in the grinder is convenient but could be improved with stronger magnets. Using a 58 millimeter portafilter with a funnel may cause issues, so the speaker recommends grinding into the dosing cup provided instead.
