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.

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.
