Why You Need a Grinder
Coffee for espresso machines requires a particular fine grind. This can only be achieved by burr grinders which have two serrated mills which crush the coffee bean and produce a fine and consistent ground coffee. The ground coffee needed for espresso cannot be reliably produced by blade type coffee grinders which are commonly used for coffee presses and percolators. The Gaggia coffee grinders sold here come with metal burrs and are perfect for grinding the beans of your choice for the perfect espresso. Gaggia offer two models, the Gaggia MM and Gaggia MDF.
The MM model uses metal grinders to mill the coffee to a consistent fine grind with 9 adjustable settings to get to your exact requirements its 42 mm grinders will ensure an even and regular grind perfect for the coffee of your choice.
The MDF model is a commercial quality machine with 34 grind settings using 50 mm tempered steel grinders and dispenses a metered amount of ground coffee directly into the portafilter at the touch of a lever in exactly the same style as professional grinders. One click for one cup and two for two cups delivered directly into the filter holder makes the process quick, simple and satisfying.
Both models of grinder can be mounted on a specially designed base along with the Espresso machine. This is convenient, protects working surfaces and aids in cleaning. The base includes a knock out drawer with wooden dowel into which you can knock out the used coffee grounds.
