About Macap
Macap has been building coffee grinders in the Venetian hinterland since 1930, when founder Ottorino Petiziol opened his first mechanical workshop. Three generations later, the company still designs and manufactures every grinder in-house, and its equipment now ships to more than 70 countries. Macap's reputation rests on straightforward Italian engineering — flat-burr platforms built to hold their calibration through years of daily use.
The Product
The Macap Leo 55 Easy Home Espresso Grinder is the simplest entry point into Macap's Leo 55 platform, built around the same 55mm flat burr set used across the Essential and Touch models in this range. It strips away the display and programmable dosing, leaving a straightforward single-button grinder for anyone who wants café-grade burrs without extra controls. This is Macap's flat-burr quality made as accessible as a home grinder gets.
Key Features
55mm Flat Hardened Steel Burrs (Consistent Extraction)
The Leo 55 Easy grinds through the same 55mm flat hardened steel burrs used across the entire Leo 55 range, giving you the same particle consistency behind Macap's higher-spec models, minus the added controls.
Stepless Micrometric Adjustment (Fine Dial-In Control)
A large adjustment knob moves the burrs on a stepless, micrometric scale, so you can dial in grind size in fine increments rather than jumping between fixed steps.
Single-Button Operation (No Learning Curve)
There's no touchscreen or dose menu to work through — one button starts and stops the grind, so you're grinding within seconds of unboxing it.
Sound-Insulated Casing (Quiet Countertop Grinding)
Insulated housing keeps motor noise down, so an early-morning grind doesn't have to wake the rest of the house.
Adjustable Portafilter Fork (Fits Most Home Machines)
The fork height adjusts to suit different portafilter sizes, so the Leo 55 Easy sits comfortably alongside most home espresso machines.
No-Screw Burr Removal (Simple Maintenance)
Burrs come out without tools, making cleaning and eventual burr replacement a five-minute job instead of a service call.
Who It's Built For
You want the same 55mm flat-burr grind quality found in Macap's Essential and Touch models, but you don't need a display, programmable doses, or the price tag that comes with them. The Leo 55 Easy is built for home baristas who'd rather dial in their grind by hand and press one button every morning. Simple, consistent, and priced to match — no extra layer between you and your espresso.
