BTW, for the gastronomy, about the hopper and always having fresh beans with not so much air in it....
About the vacuum boxes I heard that they dry out the beans too much,btw...
So how about a straight hopper, like a wider pipe, and a round piece of wood, plastic - whatever - with a weight pressing down on the beans while the level sinks. It's not a totally airtight solution, but better then having half of the hopper or more empty. I mean, like if a lid was moving downwards with the beans....
(Inside the still closed hopper, of course...)
And for the scale for grinding the right amount:
Well, for single origins I use my PF like a measurement cup and drop the exact amount of beans in my Mazzer (with the funnel) where I would not need a hopper, but I leave it on as it looks better for the customers, and I still have the sliding door to prevent beans from escaping while grinding.
But for my espresso #2 where I use a lot, as other coffee houses - I do fill the hopper - but NEVER the doser. Instead, I know that 9 seconds of grinding make the exact amount of coffee I need for a double shot.
So, why a scale, if a timer would be ok, too - when you use the same blend in this grinder, of course....
There is a grinder from Mahlkönig that is adjusted by timing. The settings are made by stopping the time in which the gram you need is dropped out of the shoot.
