I have been established as a Gaggia supplier since 2001, able to
offer qualified barista
advice for the espresso lover and with a reputation of selling the
larger equipment designed by Gaggia.
Since the
sale of 'Food Elements', I have
had the opportunity to research the new equipment on the market
& personally
search for a quality coffee grinder for the serious coffee drinker.
I was shocked
by the lack of quality equipment & retailer knowledge, many
oblivious to the difference between a blade and burr grinder. [Burr
is the only type of grinder if you wish to grind for espresso use].
So here is the result of my findings:-
KITCHENAID,
the domestic division originally of Hobarts [the Rolls Royce of
commercial catering equipment] have designed two premium coffee
appliances to professional barista standards, launched at Christmas
2004 in the UK. I can personally report on this equipment [also
the Kitchenaid mixer/blender] as I am a very proud owner, and can
provide you with the personal service and barista training at your
home as well as on-line advice.
The espresso machine has twin boilers giving high performance and
the grinder nearly equates to a miniature commercial grinder! Both
are Retro in design in Empire Red, Pearl Metallic Grey,
Cream
and Black.
A Kitchen Classic and espresso lover's dream! £519, two year
guarantee.

KITCHENAID
"ARTISAN" & BODUM "ANTIGUA" GRINDERS
As you will
have read in my report, above, on the KITCHENAID ARTISAN
GRINDER I describe it as a miniature commercial performer!
It has numerous grinding variations to achieve the very best result.
Cost, including
demo and online advice £149. Two year guarantee. Available
in Black, Red, Cream or Grey
BODUM
ANTIGUA GRINDER is in polished chrome, has a large capacity
for the beans and a deceptively large container for the resulting
grind. Will perform consistently well for all degrees of grind.
For the cost,
including demo & online advice, of this and/or the
GAGGIA MM Burr Grinder please contact Louise.
