All in all the Gaggia MM coffee grinder is both economical and simple to use, and it won’t be long before your are brewing espresso like a professional barista.

Coffee is the first thing you reach for when you come down for breakfast in the morning.  Some people will settle for the instant kind.  When in a rush, a teaspoon of the powder in hot water is enough to wake them up and start their day. But instant coffee is not for you.  You are the coffee addict who will die for brewed coffee. Why, you even own a couple of coffee grinders to prove it.

Serious coffee lovers grind their coffee from freshly roasted beans. It will take just a few minutes but the difference in the taste and aroma will be impressive.  Coffee grinders of different capacity, features and price will do the job for you.  They say that coffee should be brewed immediately after grinding.  Letting it stand longer will start the oxidation that makes the coffee stale.  Isn’t it a complicated process?  Are you still a serious coffee lover?

The Gaggia MDF Coffee Grinder is an exceptionally powerful machine that grinds any type of coffee beans to the exact level of fineness desired.

Available in  black, the MDF utilizes 50mm tempered steel grinding burrs to crush the beans to any of 34 different grind settings. From very coarse (34) to a fine powder (1), the heavy-duty 120-watt motor is more than adequate for the task, yet not overly noisy.

A single On/Off switch activates the motor, which operates on low speed to prevent static. This unit features a 10-ounce capacity bean hopper and an 8-ounce ground coffee container–both with a tinted translucent finish to hide the eventual discoloration that comes from grinding coffee. Another handy feature is the dosing lever, which lets you dispense exactly one serving at a time of ground coffee or espresso with just an easy pull on the lever. There is even a molded insert that lets you position an espresso filter under the grounds chamber for easy dispensing. The selected grind setting is displayed in front of the grounds container.

Although you’ll likely never use all 34 speeds, you’ll be amazed at the precision grind settings of the Gaggia MDF Grinder. After a little experimentation, you’ll find the perfect setting to suit your needs–whether it’s a coarse percolator grind or a fine espresso grind.
