I find the hopped on the Sage Barista Express Impress (SBEI) just a bit too small, and, because I keep it on a shelf, hard to fill. So I made this to make it bigger, and produce an engorged SBEI.

The hopper extension ring and trough/ramp/funnel are separate parts, and need to be joined after printing. Print the hopper upright with organic supports (see screenshot) for a nice finish. To join these parts need glue, there is an alignment slot but nothing to attach them. I put the pieces together and then joined them by pushing a piece of filament in the bottom join with a soldering iron, much like you might TIG weld metal, but hotglue or thicker super glue works well, too.

Ideally the trough/ramp/funnel would be a bit taller and steeper, but I didn't want the hopper to be too big, either, because then the beans would just go stale.
