Nope. I just turn the grinder on for a few seconds, wait for one of the vanes to fill with grinds, thwack a few times intil I get a mound in the portafilter, then sweep across to level it out.
From there, the tamp is the final stage.
I notice about 1/3 of a dose in the sink from my leveling.
Maybe the timer on the Mazzer is a good thing, but I have a Macap and there's no timer. Probably an even trade as the Mazzer leaves more in the bottom than the Macap anyway.
I don't stress about the little bit of waste, but would probably be bummed if someone weighed it all year and showed me what I throw away.
