Hit your grind setting precisely again
The knob is the control used to adjust the grind setting on the Leo 55. It gets handled several times a day, and at some point the detents are worn out, the markings are rubbed off, or the knob turns without anything changing in the grind.
The effect is treacherous: you adjust, taste no difference, adjust further and lose your reference point entirely. A new knob brings back the feel for the scale.
When it is due
Replace the knob if it slips on the shaft, if the detents no longer click noticeably into place, if the marking has become illegible or if the plastic is cracked.

Who it is for
For bars and offices with a Leo 55 where the grind setting is readjusted every day and the knob has suffered accordingly.
What goes with it
The Essential version has its own knob with the number C00010602. Also part of the Leo range are the display cover and the plastic lid. All Macap items are listed under Macap and PuqPress spare parts.
From our workshop in Bern and Zurich
We note the grind setting with the date and the bean on a slip of paper on the grinder. If you know the numbers, you find your way back after a change of beans in two shots instead of ten – that is our routine, not a manufacturer specification. We clean dry with Puly Grind Verde; more products are listed under Machine and grinder cleaning. We dial in on a Nutty Delight, sometimes on the Cozy Chocolate or the Very Nutty. The full selection is under Coffee beans.
Returns excluded
Original spare parts are excluded from exchange and return. They are sourced specifically for each order and cannot be resold after installation or a trial fitting on the device. So before ordering, check the model, year of manufacture and serial number of your machine – or send us a short message and we will clarify the fit together. Your rights in the case of defective goods remain unaffected.
Frequently asked questions
Does this knob also fit the Leo 55 Essential?
No, Macap has a separate number for it: C00010602. The two items are listed separately, which is why we also offer them separately.
Why is there no picture?
We have no product image for this item. We would rather show no picture than someone else's that shows something different.
Is the scale or a pointer included?
The knob is supplied. Our documentation gives no information on further components – ask us if the scale ring on your grinder is also damaged.
What material is it made of?
We have no information on that. The only reliable reference is the part number C00010601.
Can I pick up the part from your shop?
Yes. We are in Bern at Gerberngasse 44 and in Zurich at Hagenholzstrasse 50b. Send us a short message saying which part you need and we will have it ready.
