Macap Leo 55 Essential Black – quiet espresso grinder with stepless adjustment
Matte black on the counter, quiet in operation: you set the portafilter into the hands-free holder, tap the display, and the Leo 55 Essential grinds exactly the programmed dose – without holding the handle at all.
A steplessly adjustable espresso grinder in black with a digital display, made for use at home.
What sets it apart
With the new adjustment dial you set the grind size steplessly, while Silent Technology keeps grinding quiet. You define three programmable doses on the digital display, and the height-adjustable portafilter rest with hands-free holder takes over the holding for you. The 55 mm burrs (without screw holes) work with an output of around 1.3 to 1.7 g/s. Grinding mechanisms are like car engines – subjective, there is no single best one. Our opinion is one of many.
