CoffeeGeek - Aabree Coffee Brings You the Rancilio MD40 Grinder (#)

  „The one-pound coffee bean hopper is made of impact resistant tinted plastic (which helps keep harmful light away from the beans) and features a type of  "shut off valve" that allows for removal of the bean hopper without emptying the coffee beans first. This kind of feature is fairly common in $400 grinders or more, but rarely found in grinders under this price.“

It's All About Coffee

  „Solis is quite specific about this procedure of not turning the hopper with beans inside. Although the instructions tell you not to run the grinder without beans "in-the-bin," you really need the motor turning when moving to the "espresso-position;" it's way over to the left, as we'll see later. If you try to move the hopper assembly without the motor running, one gets into forcing as you approach the espresso-setting "arena;" this is not good, so run the motor.“

  „In addition to grinding too much coffee for a given cup setting, I had a significant issue with beans getting stuck in the hopper and not continuing to feed into the grinder. I had to repeatedly shake or smack the machine to get the beans to flow again. It went back to the store 2 days later ;-/--This text refers tothe Black option.“

CoffeeGeek - Starbucks Barista Grinder - Frank S's Review

  „ I have cleaned the burrs and washed the "hopper" carefully, but still experience very poor results.  In order to "do my daily grind" I am now prodding the beans into the burr with a chop stick!“

  „Weighing in at 62 pounds and coming in Green, Black or Red, the ARG 1 has a stainless steel hopper with capacity of 2lbs of beans and reportedly sells for roughly half of what most comparative grinders are offered for. Using slicing burrs, the ARG 1 has grinding speeds up to two pounds per minute. At 7.5 inches wide the footprint of the ARG 1 is a perfect for all retail applications.“
