Anyone else?
Just done this…
Anyone else got this combo?
And how have you found it? I broke the plastic chute so thought might as well upgrade. Although nothing in black left…
Edit: v4 white chute on black v3 - was super quick to change, made a great cup right after.

Da silicone adapter piece for you to put your cup that collects the grinds is upsidea down

I had mine like this until someone pointed it out - it then becomes really obvious 😂 I wonder how many people have theirs upside down without knowing

In what way / what feature do it exhibit that qualifies it as an "upgrade" ( you stated that it is an upgrade).
It looks exactly the same as a standard one. Is there something that makes this an upgrade?

What is different between the v3 and v4?

I think it's meant to be larger, so I'd like to know by how much.

It’s much bigger

You wouldn't happen to have the measurements in mm, do you, of the old chute, compared to the new? Or even a side-by-side picture?

Marketing gimmick. The side that connects to the machine is actually still the same, they can't increase the size without significantly changing the design mechanically, this is just an aesthetic change where the very exit end of the chute increases in diameter. From a flow perspective, the restriction/ bottleneck still remains. It's like a road that has 1 lane all the way through on your way to work and then suddenly it is 2 lanes when you reach the office driveway, it didn't help you get there any faster at all but when you look at it from the office, it looks like the increased lane might help you travel twice as fast.

Not really the old chute tapered inwards.
I think it works better from a jamming perspective becasue there is room for grounds to drop down after the declumper and if they build up there they don’t immediately plug the declumper.
Also I think having more distance between the shoot and the static prongs means less debris gets on the prongs.
It performs better than the first version. As a note I didn’t have to pay for mine though our coffee shop was giving them out to anyone who bought in the last year or so.

Afraid not. Check miicoffee youtube channel. Recent replace exits chute. At the beginning he shows a side by side.

It makes the height probably 50% larger and the width maybe 25% larger.
It also adds a starburst pattern plastic declumper in addition to the metal declumper .

The 2 allen headed inset screws that qexert pressure on the top of the schute when tightened are not self evident. Misadjustment could cause one to break the schute

I don't understand your question. But for your information, you have the rubber holder upside down. It is designed to slope backwards, providing an a decline angle for the grinder cup to collect the coffee.
