Features


The Macap MC4 Manual stepless coffee grinder was made, designed, and shipped from Italy. Boasting 250 watts of power and 58 mm flat burrs rotating at up to 1400 rpm, it’s sure to make the grind you want in no time. Manually operated, coffee is dispensed directly into your portafilter – no extras here. The hopper stores over a pound of whole coffee beans, and the grinder itself weighs nearly 20 lbs. Designed to be sleek, modern, and professional, its commercial quality means that it’s is sure to fit in well to any home barista’s kitchen.

Features & Benefits: Coffee


Construction

This doserless, stepless coffee grinder grinds directly into whatever receptacle you place under the shoot. Store your beans in the tinted, sealable 1 lb bean hopper before grinding. The MC4 Manual stepless grinder has sleek metal housing and black plastic accents to match whichever espresso or coffee machine you choose to pair it with, and stands 16.9”H x 7.5”W x 12.2”D.

Grinding

As long as you have beans in the hopper, you can turn the on/off switch on the right side of the machine to start grinding, and switch it to off when you have your desired amount. Since this style of the MC4 is manual, there is no automatic on/off or timed grinding. You can always adjust the amount you want to grind, whether it’s for a single or double shot, ristretto or café crema.

Adjustable Fineness

The stepless grind settings are as simple as can be. When the machine is grinding, you can use both hands to turn the grinding ring smoothly to a coarser or finer setting. No lever is needed to change the completely stepless grind settings. Remember that the size of the grind isn’t the only thing that affects how your beans brew – the taste can be altered by how fresh they are and the air’s humidity.

Cleaning

Always remember to unplug your Macap MC4 before cleaning. You can clean the body of the machine with a damp cloth to keep it looking its best, as well as detach all removable parts and hand wash them in warm soapy water.

i have been going through a pound of beans per week for three years now with this grinder. this grinder's doserless, stepless, under cabinet bean hopper "oooh - shiney!" chrome, simple straight-forward single on/off rocker switch, available repair parts and price / performance made it a no - brainer for my silvia. i can dial in any required fineness compensation i would ever need with the stepless control (got old beans? / low humidity? - two shots away from dial-in perfection). if i ever needed to buy another grinder, even if this grinder were $100 more than *that more popular brand* - i would buy this same grinder again and again. it seems to produce grinds a little slow, but in all honesty, i have no real experience with any other grinder within $1,000 of this price point to compare it against. i love this machine.

forgive the newbie but i am interested in this type of grinder. i would prefer to dose or weigh my beans before grinding so that i would only put the amount of beans in the hopper that i want to grind for that particular drink. would it hurt the machine or the burrs to do it this way. especially since at the end of the grind there would not be any beans. thx

Michael Rosso ♦ William...Running the grinder with no beans is not the best thing for the burrs. Also even though you put an exact amount of beans in the machine, the burrs may not push all the grounds out. Thanks.

Does this have a portafilter holder? If not, can one be added?

mjackson ♦ James,

It does not have a holder and does not come with it. It still is a nice grinder.
