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?
