Hi,
I have a Gaggia MM grinder that I have used to grind my morning coffee nearly every single day for almost 15 years. Usually I just use a plunger, but I would like to be able to make espresso. I thought that my Gaggia was quite a good grinder and certainly can’t fault its longevity, but looking on this site it seems that it’s a pretty basic model. Anyway, my question is what would be a good reasonably priced espresso machine to pair with this grinder, or would I be better off getting a better grinder? I never have milk in coffee so milk frothing is not required.
Incidentally, is it possible to do some DIY overhauling on the Gaggia MM? It still works fine, but the adjuster for the grind size is now a bit stiff (probably partially because I generally always have it on the same setting).
