  • Rancillio MD 40, Mod to non doser?

    Hi There

    I have a Rancilio MD 40, which has a doser, I would like to mod it if possible to remove doser and add a spout, has anyone done this before?

    All parts of the grinder will come off
    I dont know of any MD 40 mods by others,

    Went a similar path as you on a Mazzer Major but decided that a doser model suited me better

    I base my preference because I have owned both types.

    Is there a genuine reason you are considering it?

      Ditto.

      You can grind for one cup using a doser model.
      Why do you think youd prefer a doserless?

        with the doser there is so much grind left in there and takes ages to get it all out after each grind. I am a little anal about stale grind being left in there, I roast every week and so like fresh coffee, the cleaning process is driving me mad cos I am so pedantic. I think also I am using more grind than I need to because of the amount left in there, approx 1/4 of a PF each time.

          Fair enough.
          I asked because my Macap doser sweeps very clean and I have a routine that gets all the grinds easily and quickly from the chute.

          From what you say the MD40 is not so good in this regard.

          Good luck with it.
