Gaggia
Gaggia MDF 55
From £444.99
This is Gaggia's own grinder to go with the Classic, with a silver body and a red dial that match the machine. Its 55mm flat burrs and stepless adjustment grind fine enough for the Classic's non-pressurised baskets, and it doses by timer straight into the portafilter. It costs nearly as much as the Classic itself.

At a glance
At a glanceWhat's good
- The 55mm flat burrs and stepless adjustment grind fine enough for non-pressurised baskets.
- You set timed single and double doses on a touch screen, and it grinds them straight into the portafilter.
- It's styled to match the Gaggia Classic.
- It also grinds coarser for filter coffee.
Worth knowing
- It costs almost as much as the Classic it's designed to sit beside.
- Beans sit in a hopper, so it isn't made for weighing out one dose at a time.
- It's hard to find in stock in the UK.
Specifications
SpecificationsBurrs and grinding
- Conical and flat burrs both make excellent espresso. The difference in taste is small, and how well the grinder is made counts for more.
- Flat
- Larger burrs usually grind faster and more evenly, though the design of the burrs counts as much as their size.
- 55mm
- Burr material
- Steel
- Espresso needs very fine adjustment. Stepless lets you choose any setting; stepped grinders work if the steps are small enough.
- Stepless
- Can also grind coarse enough for filter, cafetière or pour-over.
