About the Product
The Gaggia MDF Grinder is a commercial grade burr grinder equal to those found in Europe's espresso bars and restaurants. Automatic dosing allows a premeasured amount of ground coffee to drop directly into the filter holder. Pull the lever once for one cup espresso, or twice for 2 cups. Precision-machined grinding burrs can be easily adjusted for 39 different degrees of fineness. The large hopper holds 10 ounces of coffee beans. Easy to use and perfect results are achieved each time. *Please note that most grinders are tested at the manufacturer and coffee grounds may be found in the grinder as a result. All machines sold are new unless otherwise clearly stated.
With 25 unique settings, this programmable conical burr grinder maximizes the potential of any brew. Choose between 'cups' for French Press or Filter and 'shots' for Espresso to get the right does for your coffee needs.

What customers say about "Features"
Gaggia 8002 MDF Burr Grinder with Doser
  • The Gaggia grinder has a wide variety of settings, which allow you to easily grind beans for a standard coffee machine or for espresso.
  • The grind is excellent and very consistent. It's a work horse and will get the job done every day, all day, the same way.
  • It grinds very consistent and works great for espresso, french, and drip.
  • The doser would often get stuck with course grinds, making a huge mess while trying to get things unstuck.
  • The portafilter holder is not removable so getting anything other than a plate underneath the dispenser is challenging.
Breville BCG800XL Smart Grinder Coffee Machine
  • Build quality is outstanding, display is very nice, controls and settings are very easy to understand.
  • Quality of grind is superb in addition to flexibility in that one can make a 10-cup medium (filter) grind stronger or weaker until the taste is perfect.
  • Easy settings for quantity and grind size. The finest setting is incredibly fine, perfect if you want to grind beans for baking.
  • The machine has all of the grinding settings one would want.
  • The display screen has had issues, where the grind select cursor flickers.
