Let's not forget the grinder. The Gaggia MDF is Gaggia's flagship grinder. Gaggia equips the MDF with a commercial strength 120 watt motor coupled with a smooth as silk gear reduction system. This provide tremendous torque and extremely quite operation in contrast to the common high pitched whine commonly associated with other grinders. As you would expect from Gaggia the grinding burrs are the same burrs used in there commercial line - 50 millimeters for maximum grinding durability. You will also notice that there is virtually no static charge buildup that is a common complaint about home grinders. The ground coffee container for the dosing section is made of smoked plastic and can hold up to 8 ounces of ground coffee. Each pull of the plastic handle will dispense about 7 grams of coffee from the ground coffee container and directly into your portafilter handle. Use one pull for single shot and two pulls for a double shot. Less mess and more control then other style grinders.
All of this on top of an exclusive Gaggia base. A unique support for coffee machine and grinder to create your own 'private' cafè. It fits in just about any location, and is capable of meeting the broadest range of practical needs.
