Buy this machine if you can't get ahold of a Mezzer Mini.
Positive Product Points
built like a tank with nice stepless grinding adjustment. Also i like the shorter hopper so it will fit underneath standard kitchen cabs.
Negative Product Points
hard to see grinder settings. No 'notches' available on collar. Bad design.
Detailed Commentary
- rock solid - The Macap has a black plastic "beauty rim" cover overtop the metal collar adjustment but since the markings are spaced apart it makes difficult to see in low light. Marking its adjustment collar with a white grease pencil works well as a reminder of your starting points for widely-space grind settings. In very general terms, a single increment on the Macap represents about six seconds of pour time. - incredibly quiet! - The low profile hopper allows it to fit underneath most 18" kitchen cabinets.
