If you were stuck on one of those two, I'd take the Gaggia for espresso, perhaps the MP for drip. If $200 really is your limit, I'd suggest the Cunill Tranquilo (actually I think the full name is Cunill el Cafe Tranquilo). It's available for $199 as a "web special" at: http://www.sovranastore.com/esgrin.html I have one of these, and while it's not a Mazzer, it's a great machine for the price. Possibly the best grind quality in this price range. There's also the Ascaso I2 (or is it I1?) -- if they're still available in this price range.

I'm not sure where you live but Costco has been selling the cuisinart supreme burr grinder in their stores for under $30. It's not as good as a Rocky which costs 10 times more; but I think you would be impressed by what you get for $30. It's a very stylish machine and the best part is if you don't like it Costco will always take it back and give you a no hassle refund. You can't go wrong. It never hurts to buy before you try.

I mention that very grinder on my website. it wasn't worth a full review, but I do have some close up images of the burr set. Worth a look before spending the $30, IMO. See Chapter 79 for the "dull" details.. Randy "ya call that a burr set?"
