Grinder review

The only thing that looks similar is the chute. As for a copy, i find that hard to substantiate. The build quality of the casadio looks pretty poor vs the nino, which quite literally takes two people to lift due to the sheer amount of metal parts used (entirely metal gears, cooling elements etc)

Yea psaigh I meant a copy of the chute design and done better in the Elektra way Still the videos show that it works well They say the design throws out 99% of the ground coffee leaving very little in the chute KK

yeah, i was told 0.1 of a gram which is nuts! Plus close to zero wastage (grinds missing the basket due to poor design or static etc), and an amazingly "fluffy" distribution of grounds with no clumps. Good to tamp with no distribution technique required. But with all these positive points you still don't see them in action anywhere. Really weird.

Yea My first grinder was an Iberital challenge purchased and used while my current grinder the Macap M4D was ordered and still on a container ship in transit to Australia KK

Interesting that you bought your M4D overseas. I know they can be quite cheaper than here in Oz but did you have to pay import duties though? and what about voltage/plug differences? and warranties. Warranties are sometimes void when shipped internationally. I would be interested in who you bought from (over the net). Cheers bleachbythebeach

Hi BBTB I pre ordered my Macap M4D by securing it with a 20% deposit from an Australian distributor Talk Coffee thus getting a great price It is the Australian spec grinder not grey import So to answer your question further I have owned it for over a year now and have no issues with it Now when grinding fine it will soft clump a little but its a non issue for me It is a well built grinder that works well KK

agreed I've used this grinder in one of my cafe's and was very impressed with its ease of use and its adjustability!

I am now a proud owner of a near new Mazzer Major I moded a few things even before I used it Sweeper tape mod, funnel guide at doser exit mod, wire at burr throat chute to cut the grind path in two mod Next mod is to go doser-less if I can find an appropriate funnel This what the home set up is like Compare the M4D with the Major KK

mate that's an awesome looking setup - I've had to downsize my home collection after moving house so now I'm back to my Rancilio S24 and Super Jolly me other equipment is stored away for special ocassions though I may display my 15yr old Baby Gaggia (fully restored works great) in my cafe when it finally opens! p

My new motto is don't do things in halves :🙂 Anyway I was unhappy with the funnel guide plastic thingy for the doser exit throat So I designed another and fitted it ;D Much better now KK
