I purchased a setup for espresso last year including a Gaggia baby twin and MDF grinder. Everything has worked well this year and been a good investment to learn on. The grinder was from eBay with at least a year of use. I was having issues getting a normal flow for espresso, it was going way to fast. I suspected worn out burrs but wanted to test for other issues. I had noticed needing to grind finer and it took longer to get the same amount. Setting it to 2 was still not helping and 1 is bottomed out. Used to grind in the 4-6 range. After a new tamper, fresh beans and grinding with my hario skerton, I was able to get good results.
So here's my question, should I replace the burrs and where do I buy them? Or save up for a new grinder since I'm not fond of the doser model and what to get?
I found a few sites that used to sell replacements bit seems that no longer carry the parts. I've been considering a grinder in the range of the virtuoso/precision.
I mostly do espresso but sometimes do drip or aeropress. I think that should cover most of the questions but let me know if I forgot something. Any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated
