Macap MI20 Touch Commercial Espresso Grinder

MACAP, an abbreviation for Macina Caffe Periziol, opened its workshop doors in 1930 and is now run by its founder’s grandchildren, Susanna and Marco Periziol. This Venetian manufacturer of high-quality espresso grinders produces machines for over 70 countries and holds a strong claim for some of Italy’s most recognisable cafe hardware. Offering an elegant and powerful range of innovation-driven coffee grinders for both high and low demands, the MACAP Touch range of grinders was designed in collaboration with V12 Design, an innovation & design studio, in Milan.

For low to medium-volume coffee operations, the MI20 Touch espresso grinder easily handles up to 150 (double espresso) cups a day. With an ample-sized 500g hopper and 58mm hardened, flat steel burrs, this mean ‘little’ machine will easily get the job done. Equipped with a hands-free portafilter fork and anti-vibration coating, the MI20 has both traditional features and modern innovation. Beneath the interface is a USB-C port for software updates and user customisation.

The MI20 Touch features an icon-based interface, easily navigated with a 3.5” touchscreen, and four user-programmable dose timers for each of the MI20 grinder’s three operating modes. Standard mode dispenses a set dose, “Push & Grind” allows the barista to double or triple a dose with a rapid touch, and holding down the button, Barista mode, enables a continuous grind. It also features an adjustable LED-lit work space.

With a neat collection of modern conveniences and a high level of customisation, this mid-weight grinder is the perfect fit for any low to medium volume coffee business seeking affordability without sacrificing consistency. If you are looking for an entry-level, do-it-all cafe grinder with an easy-to-use and readily customisable interface, then look no further.
