Macap M2C83 Espresso Grinder

This grinder is specifically engineered for espresso. While it can technically grind coarser, the stepped adjustment system is optimized for the fine-tuning required for espresso shots rather than the broader range needed for pour-over or French press.

The stepped adjustment provides fixed, repeatable settings, which is excellent for consistency. While it offers less granular control than a stepless grinder, it makes it much easier to return to a known 'sweet spot' after cleaning or changing bean types.

Yes, you pull the lever on the side of the doser to dispense a set amount of coffee into your portafilter. It is a manual process, so you will need to operate the lever until you reach your desired dose weight.

The holder is designed to be versatile and accommodates most standard portafilter sizes. You can adjust the height to ensure your portafilter sits securely under the chute, minimizing mess during the grinding process.

The Macap M2C83 measures 15.1 inches in height, 6 inches in width, and 9.9 inches in depth. We recommend checking the clearance under your kitchen cabinets to ensure the 15.1-inch height fits comfortably.

For typical home use, the stainless steel burrs are quite durable and should last for several years. You will generally notice it is time for a replacement when you find it difficult to achieve a fine enough grind or if the grind consistency begins to degrade.
