Never realized how many springs and small parts were inside the MDF grinder until taking it apart.

I was also shocked at how gunked up the burrs and grinding chamber were before breaking it.

I won't wait 2 years to open the Macap up and will be darned sure to be prepared and patient before performing further operations.

In the end, I think it will match up better with the new machine anyway, so it will be easier to explain to the wife why a shiny new grinder arrives this week after telling her I was all set on coffee stuff for a "long time".

She was out when I broke the Gaggia and I came up with a brilliant story that I saved the house as the grinder caught fire and I tackled it before it burned down the house. These are rare occurances with grinders, I explained, and our number was just up for our grinder to self destruct.

Oh and by the way... is stepless easy to figure out or should I buy extra beans?

I would just run some beans in your old grinder to get a sample to judge against for the stepless to get a rough dial in....
Oh yeah, you can't

.

I like how you deal with upgradetitus, some may try to sell their old equipment, not you.

Play with some stale beans and get unto the ballpark, from that you should be 2-3 shots from dialing in the stepless with fresh beans.
