The MACAP M42M is a compact commercial on-demand espresso grinder with 58 mm flat burrs, 2 g/s output, two timed doses, and manual control. It fits low- to medium-volume primary service or secondary-coffee duty.

Product Features

Stepless Micrometric Adjustment

The 58 mm flat steel burr set produces approximately 2 g/s at 1680 RPM on 60 Hz power.

58mm Flat Steel Burrs

Two programmable timed doses support repeatable single- and double-shot service, with manual grinding available for top-offs.

On-Demand Timed Dosing

A 300 W motor provides appropriate power for low- to medium-volume on-demand espresso grinding.

Compact 1.1 lb Hopper

The 500 g hopper balances café-ready bean capacity with a compact 430 mm installed height.

Efficient 250W Single-Phase Motor

At 194 mm wide and 7.3 kg, the grinder fits offices, mobile bars, and tighter café counters.

Commercial-Grade Build, Home-Ready Footprint

The standard model uses stepped adjustment; a stepless micrometric system is available as an option.

The Coffeeionado Take

Who's It For:

  • Low- to medium-volume cafés and restaurants needing a compact primary grinder.
  • Busy offices and hospitality counters wanting repeatable timed dosing.
  • Larger cafés needing a dedicated decaf or secondary espresso grinder.

It's Right For You If:

  • You want two timed doses and manual control in a compact commercial footprint.
  • Your expected demand is approximately 100–180 espresso doses per day rather than sustained high-volume production.

Things to Consider:

  • The standard adjustment is stepped; confirm that the optional stepless micrometric system is installed if continuous adjustment is required.
  • Dosing is time-based rather than grind-by-weight, so recalibrate after bean or grind-setting changes.
  • At approximately 2 g/s, it is not the fastest choice for a sustained high-volume rush.

Our Take:

The M42M is a straightforward commercial grinder for operators who need timed dosing without a large chassis. Its 58 mm burrs and 2 g/s output make the most sense in lower-volume primary service or as a secondary grinder.

Product FAQ

Is the Macap M42M a stepless grinder, and how precise are the grind adjustments?

Yes, the Macap M42M is a stepless grinder. Instead of fixed ‘clicks,’ it uses a continuous collar adjustment that lets you fine‑tune the grind with high precision, which is ideal for dialing in espresso shots very accurately.

Can the Macap M42M grind for both espresso and filter coffee, or is it espresso‑only?

The Macap M42M is optimized for espresso and excels in that range. It can be adjusted coarser for moka pot and some manual brew methods, but if you frequently switch between espresso and filter, you’ll need to recalibrate your grind setting each time, which can be less convenient than using a dedicated filter grinder.

How often do I need to replace the burrs, and how long do they typically last?

Burr life depends on usage and bean type, but as a general guideline the M42M’s flat burrs can last around 600–800 lbs (270–360 kg) of coffee before you’ll notice a drop in performance. In a typical home setting this can mean many years of use; in a busier environment they may need replacement every 1–3 years. Visual wear and declining shot consistency are good signs it’s time to change them.

What kind of burrs does the Macap M42M use (size, material, and burr type)?

The Macap M42M uses flat, hardened steel burrs. The burrs are designed for espresso‑focused grinding, giving a consistent particle distribution and good clarity in the cup. Exact burr diameter can vary by sub‑model/region, so check the specifications on the product page if you need a precise measurement for comparison.

Is the Macap M42M suitable for home use, or is it better for a small café or restaurant?

The M42M is well‑suited to serious home baristas and low‑volume professional settings like small cafés, coffee carts, or offices. It has the build quality and grind consistency of a commercial‑style grinder, but its size and workflow also make sense on a home countertop for users pulling multiple shots a day.

Will the Macap M42M fit under most kitchen cabinets in the U.S.?

Standard U.S. kitchen cabinets are typically 17–18 inches above the counter. The Macap M42M’s height with hopper is in that general range, but can be tight depending on your cabinet clearance. If space is limited, you may want to use a smaller hopper or measure your counter‑to‑cabinet distance and compare it to the height listed in the product specifications.

Does the Macap M42M offer timed or manual dosing, and can I grind hands‑free?

The Macap M42M is typically available with on‑demand timed dosing, allowing you to program shot times for single and double doses, as well as manual grinding via a dedicated button or switch. It includes a portafilter fork so you can grind directly into the portafilter in a mostly hands‑free manner once it’s locked in place.

How fast does the Macap M42M grind, and can it keep up with multiple drinks in a row?

Grind speed depends on the grind setting and dose size, but for typical espresso doses (around 18–20 g) you can expect it to grind in roughly 8–14 seconds. This is fast enough for regular home use and for light commercial or office service, where it can comfortably keep up with several drinks in a row without overheating.

How does free installation work?

We want to make your purchase as smooth as possible and will pay the installation via rebate on commercial espresso machines. This includes commercial machines with more than 1 group head and 220V.

If the certified installer needed is over 1.5 hours away then we will pay for the installation call (and install up to the value suggested on page minus call fee). Travel will be paid by customer. Inquire if you have any questions about your location.


Please note, any discounts subject to void the paid installation offer.

At Coffeeionado, professional installation is included with qualifying espresso machine purchases. Our goal is to make the process as seamless as possible — from coordinating the technician to getting your machine up and running on day one.


Which Machines Qualify

Free professional installation is included with all espresso machines of 2 groups or more where indicated on the product listing. This policy applies to espresso machines only and does not cover other coffee equipment such as grinders, brewers, or accessories.

If you are unsure whether your machine qualifies, contact us before purchasing and we'll confirm.


What's Included

  • Travel and labor costs for installation within the technician's service area (up to 2 hours of travel)
  • Setup, basic programming, and commissioning of the equipment
  • Scheduling during regular business hours, Monday through Friday
  • Associated taxes and fees related to the installation itself

Installation must be completed within 90 days of delivery of the equipment. The installation benefit lapses after this window and cannot be reinstated.


How Installation Is Arranged

Depending on your purchase, installation is handled one of two ways:

Arranged directly — In many cases, Coffeeionado or the manufacturer will coordinate and pay the technician on your behalf. We will contact you after your order is processed to schedule the visit.

Reimbursement — In some cases, you may be asked to arrange the installation locally using an authorized technician and submit a rebate form for reimbursement. Once approved, the covered amount will be refunded to the original payment method used for your order.

We will confirm which arrangement applies to your purchase at the time of order confirmation. If you have questions before purchasing, contact us and we'll walk you through it.


What's Not Included

The following are outside the scope of the installation policy and remain the customer's responsibility:

  • Travel or callout costs beyond the first 2 hours of the technician's travel time — if your location falls outside the local service area, the overage is the customer's responsibility
  • Water filtration systems and installation materials — including plumbing fittings, tubing, plugs, outlets, and any other ancillary components required to prepare the site
  • Electrical or plumbing work — site preparation must be completed before the technician arrives
  • Training on equipment operation — installation covers commissioning only, not barista or operational training
  • False start or callout fees if the technician arrives and the site is not ready for installation

Important: If a technician arrives and cannot complete the installation because the site is unprepared, you will be responsible for any callout or false start fee charged by the technician. However, your installation benefit remains intact — the visit will be rescheduled at no additional cost to your policy.


Water Filtration Requirement

Water filtration must be installed and operational before or at the time of installation. This is not optional — operating a commercial espresso machine without proper filtration will void the manufacturer's warranty. If filtration is not in place at the time of the technician's visit, installation may need to be rescheduled and the callout fee will be the customer's responsibility.

If you need guidance on water filtration requirements for your machine, contact us before scheduling your installation.


Service Area

Installation coverage is tied to the manufacturer's authorized technician service area, generally within a 1.5-hour radius of the nearest certified technician. If the customer's location falls outside this area, Coffeeionado will make reasonable efforts to arrange a local authorized technician, but travel costs beyond the 2-hour coverage limit remain the customer's responsibility.

Not sure if you're in a service area? Contact us before purchasing and we'll check your location.


What to Expect on Install Day

Getting a commercial espresso machine delivered is one thing. Getting it actually running — plumbed, programmed, and pulling properly — is another. Here's what happens when the technician comes out.

Before the appointment: Site preparation will be confirmed before technicians make it out. Once your machine ships, we'll coordinate scheduling with you and assign a local certified technician. Before they arrive, make sure your space is ready: the machine's permanent location should be determined, your water line and drain access should be in place, and your electrical supply should match the machine's requirements. 

On the day The technician will handle the physical installation of the machine — positioning, water line connection, and drain setup. Once it's plumbed and powered, they'll run through the setup and basic programming: boiler pressure, shot parameters, and confirming that water flows correctly through the group heads and steam wands. Some basic training will be provided, they'll pull test shots to verify the machine is operating within spec.


After Installation

Once your machine is installed, we'll provide referrals for authorized service technicians in your area for ongoing maintenance and repairs. Coffeeionado offers lifetime support on all equipment we sell — we're here long after the install is done.


Governing Terms

This installation policy forms part of your agreement with Coffeeionado and is subject to our Terms of Sale and Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict, the Terms of Service governs.

Can I pick up the machine at your store?

We do not have a showroom or storefront for customer pickups, so orders cannot be picked up directly from us. That said, there is an exception for La Spaziale and La Pavoni products, you can contact us to arrange.

However, if you'd prefer, we can arrange to have your machine shipped to a local freight terminal/location for pickup instead. Let us know your city/state (or ZIP code), and we’d be happy to check the nearest terminal options for you.
