Coffee Grinders > Gaggia Coffee Grinders

Easy to use.

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Not many

Full review -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was my birthday a week ago. I'd already chosen a pair of swanky sunglases that my husband bought me. He went to town with the kids and chose this machine as a present from them. Not quite the ideal birthday present you may think. You'd be wrong. I'm a coffee lover. We've got a built in espresso machine so a grinder is a great accessory. We've already ...
...he knew he was getting a quality product. This grinder not only looks good on the worktop, it does a great job too. Operating it is literally child's play - my 7 and 5 old take great pleasure in demonstrating it to all visitors (I'm hoping the novelty will wear off soon as the idea is to grind it fresh each time you want a cup). With the whirl of a wheel you can choose grade the size of grind you want from very coarse to very fine, depending on ...

Review of Gaggia MM

Coffee!!

Advantages: Good.
Disadvantages: Noisy :(

There is nothing quite as good as an exceptional cup of coffee, many a sunday morning I have put my feet up in the local coffee shop with the papers and settled down for a couple of hours enjoying the cafe's latest velvety delicacy. That was until two weeks ago when I was given this coffee grinder as a thank you present...... me grind my own coffee..... surely not....... However the next Sunday morning I found myself unpacking this contraption and ...
...The actual grinder could not have been easier to use. Being male I naturally only briefly looked at the instruction manual before setting it all up. The instructions were straight forward and helpful. The grinder has an adjustable setting for the coureness of grind (which is extremely useful for differing types of coffee machine). You simply load up the beans, adjust the courseness and turn the dial to the correct level and press start. The beans ...

Review of Gaggia 74517

For all coffee lovers who want the REAL thing!

Advantages: Fantastic coffee, looks smart, durable, no issues with static.
Disadvantages: None. It grinds coffee well. FACT

...home. This is where the Dualit comes in. I have loved coffee since I was very young and now as a twenty three year old it plays an even bigger part of my life! Yes, I am aware that it’s not that healthy to drink that much of the stuff, but at least if you are going to drink it then you want it to taste good! I have owned an espresso machine for a number of years now and more recently I have upgraded to an all in one bean to cup machine, which I shall ...
...to Starbucks who sell the Dualit Burr Grinder, albeit in a starbucks branded guise. It is the same machine and is made by Dualit and retails for £35 compared to the £70 for the actual Dualit branded item. These machines are identical apart from the name. It’s up to you how much of a brand whore you want to be but a 100% increase for a name didn’t seem worth it to me! I purchased the grinder and took it home. Instantly as you remove it from the box ...

Review of Dualit 75002

Great for spices, great for coffee

Advantages: Modding ability, in/out tray, looks good
Disadvantages: Can burn-out if you're not careful, difficult to clean when you need to

I originally bought this as a spice grinder. I now have two of them: one for spices and the other for coffee. As a coffee grinder: It doses what it says on box; it grinds coffee. The grinder allows for the full range of settings from very fine espresso to thick granules for the peculator. If you do a search online, you'll also find, instructions on modifying it so it will grind powder-fine coffee (like the very expensive machines). Be warned though, ...
...are intent on making changes, follow a few guidelines: Never grind for more than 20 seconds at a time and leave a few seconds before grinding again. The instructions for modifying are quite simple (just do a search). don't waste 20 minutes like I did though, trying to get the bottom off; it's the top that comes off exposing the internal settings. I also, imagine that making any changes to the internal operations would void the warranty. Unless you ...

Review of Russell Hobbs 10934

Perfect for Espresso- the Dualit EL60

Advantages: Grinds to a super fine powder for the perfect espresso
Disadvantages: Sometimes can't grind enough coffee in one go for a coffee maker.

I bought the Dualit EL60 from "Whittards of Chelsea" in September 2008 to grind coffee beans for my "Gaggia Baby Classic" espresso machine and paid £28 in the end of summer sale. When making espresso by hand using a machine with a handle, you need to ensure that the coffee grinds are in a fine powder as this lets you can maximise the crème layer on your espresso. Being aware of this I quizzed the assistants in both Whittards and my local speciality ...
...of any specific environmental concerns Dualit may have with their packaging but I recall being able to recycle the entire packaging except for one tiny plastic bag, through my council provided recycle box- something I like as a "green-as-possible" consumer Having used my coffee machine and hence this grinder to make my espresso's every day for approximately six months or so now I can confirm this machine is reliable and does not appear to have blunted ...
