Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Gaggia 8002 MDF Burr Grinder with Doser, Black
Customer Review: Great grinder = superb espresso
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
