Hello fellow snobs,
I have just managed to pick up a used MD40 for $50 on eBay ;D (I have been getting some bargains of late, I got my Gaggia Baby for $41.00 as well).
Is there anything I should be looking for before firing it up? At the moment I have absolutely no experience with these type of grinders as Ive only had a Kyocera hand grinder up until now. Any tips for grind settings etc?
This is what they look like.

Apologies Mods, I actually just returned to the post to edit out the link as I read the rules after posting. You beat me to it!
