Gaggia MDF ???

derrilex

Ahh but do looks maketh the grinder ?

Kelsey

Whoops - damn iPad typing. I mean't I would NOT accuse the Vario of having Bling Factor. All in all, it looks unassuming and a little plasticky - I actually think the BSG is a much better looking grinder. But I'd be happy to upgrade to the Vario.

derrilex

Me too but the $$$

Kelsey

Oh yeah, got a dozen other things I'd rather first. A precision fit tamper and basket chief among them.

DiBella list the Gaggia MDF for $150 on their website. That is a lot of grinder for little coin! $190 on eBay? Tell 'im he's dreamin'!

derrilex

$ 150 - dead set. Hmmmmm.

derrilex

Whats a basket chief Kelsey ?

derrilex

Ah, when commas count: A precision fit tamper and basket, chief among them.

derrilex

:rofl: :rofl: indeed. I tried googling it and got a heap of one flew over the cuckoos nest stuff like - " put it in the basket chief" :rofl:

derrilex, Did you get hold of AM for a rumage in his shed? He had quiet a few grinders on display at the last meet and now that he's got lever machine, he will need to reduce his toys! 🙂

derrilex

I think they are all monsters, unless he lets his eureka fall out of the cupboard ( no chance in hell). In hindsight and with a lot more research I'm certain I'll buy BF's I mini if it hasnt gone already. Just waiting for the PM reply.

Brett_H

Yep, the BF grinder is where I'd be going but just to play devil's advocate have you driven past diBella for a gander at an MDF? At that price I'd certainly be torn and not just for the instant gratification.

derrilex

Nah, no drive by (buy). I know what would happen if I did ^-^. I couldn't help myself if I bought a MDF. Out with the dremel to make it doserless and do the stepless mod. One day if one comes up cheap on ebay. They certainly are cheap as chips for a flat burr grinder though. Then again if BF has sold his or there is someone ahead of me in the line then the MDF will be very hard to ignore for a impulse / consolation buy.

Brett_H

You know you want to.... :coffee2:

derrilex

Stop it you ! :tearhair:

Lacehim

The Gaggia MDF uses a lot of plastic. Invest a smidge more and you'll have a grinder to keep for years.

derrilex

Agree. BF must still be away. Anywho, it matters not. I'm off to Straddy for 3 weeks tomorrow so the 480 gets to go to Straddy too, along with a fully packed pajero and a 6x4 box trailer. Just as bad as moving house. Bought a shitload of different beans and cant wait to have a brew while staring out to sea

Why not create a seasonal blend then with all those beans........just about all the other Melbourne roasters have.........yours can be authentic ! 😃

derrilex

Thats the plan MC. I have some PNG and columbian SO and a few different blends that I "add " to. I like to mix up a frankenstein blend but never write down the details of the good ones :head: All differing roast dates too so it should be interesting. Got 2.5 kg to play with and might have to bum so beans on the island from somewhere if I run short ;D
