Hi All,
I have recently upgraded from my Delonghi KG100 (Disappointment is a generous word!) to an old "Used for 10 years in a Cafe" Gino Rossi RR45.
Its producing much better coffee already on my little Breville Cafe Roma (with non-pressurized filter basket) but I can tell that the burrs are probably pretty worn (not too sharp to rub your finger against).
Just wondering is it really important to replace the burrs (I see CoffeParts.com sells them for $37 - presumably thats just for 1)? Does it make much of a difference to the grinds and therefore taste? Why does it matter? And having not a whole lot of experience, is it safe to assume I can just order the burrs and replace them myself without stuffing up the alignment etc...?
Thanks O wonderful Coffee Snob community!
