Doserless espresso grinders have been around forever (Bersten's book has a

as a doserless. The Rancilio Jacky was a doserless grinder as well. I have
a theory as to why they became so popular on the coffee groups, but it will
trigger an argument that I'm not really in the mood for.

We just wound down a debate on this on Home-barista.com. I took the
anti-doserless (pro-doser?) position, citing the need for
anti-clumping, redistribution rituals that it creates.

The modern reason for doserless? That's easy. People obsessing about a
gram of the morning's leftover espresso polluting the afternoon's
espresso.
