The Rancilio MD40 grinder is specifically designed for grinding espresso coffee beans. This commercial grinder is capable of grinding beans into a powder and can withstand heavy use. This is especially important when you are grinding coffee for high-end espresso machines like the Rancilio Silvia and medium to heavy-duty espresso machines.

There are very few grinder manufacturers on the market today with a stronger, more lasting reputation than the Rancilio grinders. The secret to the MD40 is the internals - metal, metal and more metal. Consider that the MD40 has a cast aluminum dosing mechanism, aluminum portafilter fork, brass dosing lever, and a heavy duty stainless steel housing. This is the ultimate aficionado's grinder and is durable and precise enough to be used in commercial environments.


Take one look at the 50mm burr set (grind wheels) on a Rancilio MD40 and you know they were built for serious business. Tempered, hardened steel, cut to a precise teeth pattern that ensures longevity in wear and accuracy in grind consistency. They are also easily replaceable, should you need to change them.
The MD40 is meant to be an espresso grinder, and while it can do any grind with ease, it naturally has a doser built in, dishing out roughly 7 grams per click on the brass doser lever. You may adjust the dose from 5 to 9 grams per pull. Nearly all portafilters will fit into the dosing receptacle allowing the MD40 to be used with virtually any espresso machine including those with pressurized portafilters.
The ground coffee dosing hopper located on the front of the MD40 is made of metal and impact resistant tinted plastic that shows the contents of the hopper. The internal workings of the doser such as the swipes (the fins that push the ground coffee to the chute) and dosing lever are made of heavy aluminum. Below the dosing hopper is a portafilter fork (the place where the portafilter rests while you are dosing coffee from the hopper) made out aluminum.
The MD40 features a huge bean hopper that has over a 1 pound capacity, smoke colored to help reduce UV damage to the beans. The bean hopper can also be removed full of beans. A special trap door you can be closed at the bottom of the hopper, which prevents the beans from falling out of the hopper.
The MD40 has an almost infinite number of grind settings - the dial says 80, but it can be rotated beyond that, giving you almost 90 settings. Thanks to the ultra-fine threading that adjusts the grind inside, the MD40 easily adjusts for fine-tuning that perfect espresso shot. Although the MD40 was primarily designed for espresso use, it will easily grind fine enough for Turkish coffee, yet coarse enough for French Press coffee makers.
The Rancilio MD40 has the best grinder motor available today in a consumer grinder, bar none. The motor features whisper quiet operation and serious torque control when grinding beans. This motor won't let you down.
The MD40 has a cycle counter that counts each time a shot has been dosed. Great for commercial settings, so you can keep track of the number of pulls. After 9999 pulls the counter automatically resets.
The MD40 comes standard with a 56 mm built in tamper made of heavy duty plastic, but can be removed and replaced with the additional 53 mm tamper. The tamper sits on the front of the ground hopper and above the portafilter making dosing and tamping fast and efficient.
The motor is equipped with a thermal protection device that will prevent damage to the motor and other components in the event the grinding mechanism becomes jammed or if the motor should begin to overheat from excessive use.
