Here is a little on my current grinder 1] Make , Model & Year Macap M2M, Purchased 2015 new:
Flat grinding blade diameter: 50mm Coffee beans hopper capacity:250 grams Body Colour - Black or Chrome 2] First impressions Shiny, very compact but looks to be built well. 3] Pros & Cons of your grinder Pros - *great grinder for home use as it is compact and will fit anywhere *sexy looks and will compliment any machine *consistent grind *hardly clumps and if it does they are small and go away by tapping the PF to settle the grinds *steps are small enough (grinder is not stepless) *hardly any waste/mess (nearly zero mess if using a dosing funnel from OE or yoghurt cup) *height adjustable filter holder (I've put it on the lower setting so I can use it with a dosing funnel) Cons *minor grind retention *plastic PF holder/rest *plastic grind tray (would have preferred stainless) *not as fast as 58mm flat burr grinders as this unit uses 50mm burrs. 4] Your journey from the beginning to the present manual grinder --> rancilio rockiy --> mazzer mini manual doser --> macap m2m 5] Recommend or Not Definitely recommend, italian made, quality built, sexy, awesome for espresso or grind for turkish or french press. 6] Mods to date (if any) Single dose hopper (cut a stainless cocktail shaker to size and used the plastic tamper as a weight) 7] Closing notes give it a try in a shop, it won't disappoint, and for the price for me its a winner. It basically a motor and a switch, no electronics that would short circuit and go haywire. 8] Anything else that's interesting the wife approves the looks of it
