Gaggia MD15 Grinder Review & Shimming Guide
My review of the Gaggia MD15 grinder, and a shimming guide showing how to add the shims in order to grind finer for espresso with standard baskets. Please note, you don't need to shim the burrs if you're using a pressurized, dual walled basket, this is just to grind finer if you're using a traditional espresso basket.
