I have a Gaggia MDF that is about 25 or 30 years old. Still grinds great, but I was thinking about replacing the burrs. The description says these burrs fit an MDF made within the last 10 years, but is there a set for my old grinder?
Thanks,
Mike

mjackson ♦ Mike,
That is a tough question and glad you asked. I did find out that they will absolutely fit. The nice thing is why change a design that works so well. Give us a call and we will be glad to get the burrs out to you.
I just received your Brewtus V and just set it up.
For grinding using a 4 year old Gaggia MDF at aprox 4-6 grinds per day (double shots).
For the brewtus I find the "3" setting is best.
Do you feel it may be time to change the burrs on the MDF?
Please send me your instructions on "How to clean; How to callibrate; How to change burrs".
Thanks

I have a Gaggia MDF burr grinder which is approximately 25 years old. It is running well, but I'd like to disassemble it and clean the burr mechanism -- and see if perhaps the burrs need replacing. However, I'm completely stumped as to how to take apart the grinder to get at the burrs. Other posts on the forum talk about lifting off two rubber covers over screws in the bottom of the bean hopper -- my Gaggia MDF grinder does not have these -- there is simply what looks like a centrally positioned black plastic "nosecone" in the inside of the bean hopper. Two questions: (1) how do I remove the bean hopper of this older model Gaggia MDF grinder and (2) are new burrs available for this older Gaggia grinder?
Thanks so much for your help.

TechMilanoItalia David, the hopper on your older MDF is pressed in. It is a friction-fit, but it is usually hard to remove. You can use a longer screwdriver as a lever and put it under the hopper, and pry up. Work opposite sides until you get that to pop up, then you can disassemble the rest to get down to the burrs. The current MDF burrs will fit.
Michael Rosso ♦ Beau...Thank you for the great question you posted on our Super Wall. When grinder burrs need to be replaced will depend on how much you actually grind, the type of beans, how big the burrs and motor are, and a few other things. I suggest you contact our Technical Support Department directly at 1-888-411-5282 option 3 to get the best help help with your Gaggia MDF. Thanks.
