I am told it is a reasonable price, or so I am told as it was a gift. Easy to use and easy to clean on a daily basis. Produces very good results.
Negative Product Points
I have found that this grinder develops quite a bit of built-up grim on the inside (Takes some time every of couple of months to clean). No one would give this grinder an award for being quiet.
Detailed Commentary
I particularly like the fact that the Gaggia MM does not have a doser, as I mostly use either a Vac Pot or French Press for my coffee. So if you are looking for an grinder for your espressos I would suggest something else, moreover I find that the MM is unable to produce a fine enough even grind for my espresso machine.
A couple of times I have completely disassembled the grinder to give it a good cleaning. This is a must do. Within the grinder the buildup of coffee dust becomes pretty severe. I also found that by taking the machine apart I was able to readjust it to bring the burrs closer together permitting a finer grind.
This grinder has been good to me for the last two years. It is now time I move up the scale. For anyone looking for their first grinder I would suggest the Gaggia MM, unless you main interest is in espressos.
