CoffeeGeek - Articles: Products First Look Feedback, Macap M5 Dosing Espresso Grinder (#)

„Yet, most of the vendors that now are selling Macaps are selling the M4, which they claim are 17" high (also with a 1.3 lb. bean hopper).  See Chris at http://www.chriscoffee.com/products/home/grinders/macap and 1st-line at http://www.1st-line.com/machines/home_mod/macap/M4.htm.  Vanellis is even more confusing, referring to the same grinder as both the M4 and M5, but mentioning that with the "optional" hopper it stands only 17" high.“

Specialty Coffee Bulletin Board :: View topic - Dosing, Levelling & Tamping - not if there's a line! (#)

„I, personally, do not throw these basics techniques by the wayside, however in a high volume shop (like, say, the one I work in) Grinding, dosing, and leveling for each individual shot is just not possible. We usually fill the doser with grounds prior to and during a rush (we use a Macap grinder with the level switch), but I try to stress to my employees as much as possible the importance of tamping. However the leveling part, for us anyway, goes out because the grinder is already to capacity and doses the proper amount.“

CoffeeGeek - Macap M5 Dosing Grinder - Joe Beets's Review (#)

„doserless, and it was a consideration for me since my house isn't an especially high-volume operation.  In fact, though, the doser is very convenient, and the MACAP sweeps it quite clean.  I only grind as much as I'll use in a session (3-4 servings) and the doser works fine.  I suspect that it's neater than a doserless grinder; if you don't slam the doser lever back and forth Iron Barista-style the grinds drop more or less straight down into the portafilter.“

„Haven't heard of Macap before? It's not surprising, since their N. American marketshare for espresso grinders has been limited until recently, and they don't just make coffee equipment (they make things like juicers and blenders as well, to name a few).“

„PS .You might want to put some ($~500) of what you are comfortable spending into a top grinder (Mazzer, Macap) before investing in a very expensive machine with your current grinder. Another good investment might be a session at a Barista school.“

„Bottom Line: If stepped grinding is your preferred method, Macap M4 is your machine.  Blow the cobwebs off your wallet and buy it, and you will never have those nagging doubts wondering  if you could have done better.“

„I believe the Macap M5 can give the Mazzer Mini a good go around but I have not personally tried one and the price of that grinder is even more steep.“
