About the Brand
Gaggia was founded in 1938 in Milan by Achille Gaggia, whose patented Lampo system replaced steam pressure with a lever-driven piston — the invention that gave espresso its crema and effectively created the modern shot as we know it. Nearly a century later, Gaggia remains one of Italy's most recognisable espresso names, with the Classic line still considered a benchmark home machine worldwide. That same engineering pedigree carries through into everything they build, grinders included.
The Product
The Gaggia MD15 Coffee Grinder is an entry-level home grinder built for low-to-medium daily volumes, using stainless steel conical burrs across 15 grind settings to keep your coffee consistent from cup to cup. A digital timer lets you grind pre-set quantities on demand, so you're not eyeballing doses every morning. It's a simple, reliable way to bring fresh, on-demand grinding into a home kitchen without the cost or footprint of a commercial machine.
Key Features
Stainless Steel Conical Burrs (Cooler, Slower Grinding)
Conical burrs run cooler and slower than flat burrs, protecting the coffee's natural oils and aroma instead of cooking them off with heat.
15-Step Grind Adjustment (One Grinder, Every Method)
Move from fine espresso-style grounds through to coarser filter and plunger settings with a simple rotary dial.
Digital Dosing Timer (Consistent, Repeatable Doses)
Set your preferred grind time once and the MD15 repeats it automatically, so your dose doesn't drift day to day.
Removable 300g Bean Hopper (Quick Refills, Easy Cleaning)
The hopper lifts off in seconds for topping up beans or wiping down, with a 150g ground coffee container to catch what you grind.
On-Demand or Pre-Set Grinding (Grind Only What You Need)
Switch between grinding straight into your container on demand or letting the timer measure out a pre-set quantity.
LED and Rotary Knob Interface (Simple, No-Fuss Operation)
A clear LED display and single rotary knob keep day-to-day use straightforward — no menus to dig through before your first coffee.
Compact Stainless Steel Housing (Built to Last on Your Counter)
A small footprint and durable stainless steel body mean the MD15 sits comfortably on most kitchen counters without dominating the space.
Who It's Built For
The MD15 is built for you if you're moving on from pre-ground coffee and want your first real grinder — something that's easy to use, doesn't take up your whole counter, and delivers a noticeably better cup than a blade grinder ever could. It suits filter, plunger and stovetop brewing at home, with enough range to experiment as your taste develops. Fresh grounds, every single morning — no compromise required.
