Rancilio MD40 Commercial Espresso Grinder The Rancilio MD40 Espresso Grinder is the perfect entry level grinder for a small coffee shop or cafe, as well as a nice upgrade for anyone in need of a heavy duty home grinder. Every feature about the Rancilio MD 40 is heavy duty, from its powerful motor, to its hardened burrs set in cast metal mountings, and even its cast aluminum portafilter fork. The 140 Watt motor turns slowly to prevent overheating the beans. The 50 mm hardened steel burrs have precise, front access adjustment for grind fineness. The body is made of die-cast aluminum and stainless steel for durability in high traffic areas. The Rancilio MD40's high-capacity bean hopper holds 17.6 ounces of coffee and the grinder itself is rated for up to 7.7 pounds per hour of grinding production. The Rancilio MD 40 is by design an espresso grinder only because of its front-mounted doser, which is also heavy duty with many metal parts as well. The doser can be adjusted to dispense between 5 and 10 grams of ground coffee per pull of the dosing lever. The MD40 is a semi-automatic grinder. Semi-Automatic Espresso GrinderThe Rancilio MD40 Commercial Espresso Grinder is known as a semi-automatic grinder. This means that you must press the power button to turn it on, and press it again to turn it off. While this may be considered a drawback to some, this gives the operater precise control over how much coffee is ground, allowing for freshness to be preserved rather than grinding too much coffee and letting it go stale. The grinding switch is sealed to keep ground coffee from fouling up the mechanism. Espresso Dosing SystemThe Rancilio MD40 is a doser espresso grinder, meaning that it grinds into a chamber which dispenses the coffee in uniform amounts. Rancilio builds all of its dosers to be extremely durable, with many metal parts where other companies use plastic. The doser mechanism can be adjusted to dispense between 5 and 10 grams of coffee per pull
