Summary: Perfect Grinder 2008-02-25
Comment: I've had this grinder for about two years, purchased about six months after a Gaggia Carezza. Together they create wonderful espresso, lattes, and mochas.

Summary: not adaptable 2008-02-23
Comment: I bought this grinder as part of a total coffee upgrade for my kitchen. Unfortunately, not all the pieces were Gaggia, and the portafilter for my Saeco espresso maker would not fit the doser bracket. The grinder did a fine job with the coffee, but I returned it because I couldn't use it in my kitchen. I would have appreciated knowing before hand that the doser would only hold a specific size espresso portafilter baskets. Buyer beware.

Summary: Someone Slap Me For Waiting So Long..!!! 2008-01-12
Comment: After constantly reading that a blade grinder shouldn't be used & waiting because I thought I was making as perfect a grind as any "MDF" grinder I finally received an "MDF" as a gift. Well, I immediately unwrapped it & ran a test grind through (set on number 7) & thought that was to fine so I threw it away. Ran another batch (set @ 6) and used that to make an espresso shot. Boy Oh Boy, was I ever wrong. The shot came out with twice the crema I had ever gotten before, the favor & taste of the espresso was out of this world. It was like I had used a completely different espresso bean. It was so smooth & sweet, without any bitterness.. Now I'm embarrassed that I even bragged to my friends that I could make an espresso as good as any Starbucks. I was totally wrong then, I won't be now, not with this great grinder.. Only negative I've found so far is that it's rather loud but what grinder won't be when its churning out such a fine grind.. Also, keep a paper napkin under it so you can easily catch any loose grounds.

Summary: Great grinder = superb espresso 2007-11-06
Comment: I've had my own espresso machines for years, but I could never could get a draw with the same flavor and crema as my favorite coffee shops (Vivace and Cafe Ladro, both in Seattle). Even when I'd buy the same beans they use, it never tasted as good.
All that changed when I purchased this grinder. It took a couple of tries to get the setting perfect (4, right now) and to re-learn how hard to tamp the coffee... but I am now a barista. I get a lovely dark espresso with a beautiful golden crema (with which I can make interesting patterns when I pour the foam).
Since I just grind one double-shot serving at a time, I'm not sure I needed the doser--but it works well and I really like it. Put a paper towel under the unit to pick up the stray grinds dropped when dosing, to clean the foam off of the steam nozzle, and to wipe down anything else when you're done.
My only complaint is that I wish the unit had soft rubber feet to dampen vibration... it would be even quieter! I've been planning to stick some on.
For $199, this appliance is absolutely a bargain for making excellent espresso!

Summary: Grinder for all 2007-08-04
Comment: This grinder works great. I am very happy with it. It has several measures to grind coffee so there is a setting for all tastes and needs.
It matches my coffee maker (Gaggia) perfectly and it is easy to clean.
Any coffee lover will appreciate the nuances and capabilities of this grinder.
Get it!!!
