Rancilio Rocky or Gaggia MDF

[KoffeeKanada]

Ok after searching for days,i found a dealer,and seen a Gaggia MDF
for $370 canadian,should i search out a Rocky grinder?
You would think in a major city as T.O it would be easy to find equipment.

Rocky

I haven't tried the Gaggia. I use a Rocky everyday and love the grind it is able to get. The only drawback with the Rocky is if you have a deep portafilter (such as a La Spaziale). The deep portafilters don't fit perfectly under the doser and result in a little spillage. Otherwise I love the Rocky and you can find it for under $300 online.

Good Luck!

Thanks KS, i found a store that sells the Rancilio grinder,so i'll take a looksee,although i'v read the reviews and comments and seen the MDF
seems lightweight,so more than likely a rocky doserless.

I have a Rocky with Doser. I put it just behind the Mazzer. My vote is for the Rocky.
