    The M4D runs more aggressive burrs and is much faster
    Doh :-[........yes of course.......my bad. My average grind time for 19-20gm is 9sec. I remember now why I seldom try to give advise..........Im not always as accurate as I might be :-[

    The only reason I would get the m4d is to prevent future upgradeitis..
    There is no cure known..........only treatment of symptoms ;D

    I have visited the sponsors and all great help. But trying to justify the m4d if the m4 is all I need! The only reason I would get the m4d is to prevent future upgradeitis..

    The M4 & M4D  are basically the same grinder dosered & not-dosered.
    Hi Steve,

    Yes and no. The M4D runs more aggressive burrs and is much faster. Think 20+ sec. for a double v 10 seconds.

    Where are you located Kanda? There may be a sponsor close by where you can play with, and compare the two to see which you prefer.

    I am worried about clumping in the m4d and if I get the m4 I will wish I got the d version...
    Kanda, I have the "D" and I certainly dont regret it. I have found clumping [when it does occur] is very minor. I grind into a old yogurt container and give it a quick wisk with a piece of thin brass rod and it is fine. I would love the M7D but at this point in time it is not even in consideration. The M4 & M4D are basically the same grinder dosered & not-dosered.

    Macap are excellent grinders and directly comparable with the likes of Mazzer. If you prefer the aesthetics/ergonomics of the Macap over other grinders, then go for it mate. I owned a Macap M4 and a much larger commercial grinder at the same time. Both grinders had new burr-sets (the Macap was brand new) and there was no way I or anyone else in these parts could pick the difference, in the cup.

    Quality of build is also excellent and will outlast you if a modicum of maintenance is expended regularly. Best thing of course, is to try and visit one of our Site Sponsors to road-test various grinders at this echelon and then make up your mind from there. Youll know exactly what your buying then.... 8-)

    All the best,
    Mal.

    Any thoughts on the Macap M4?

    Hi Al

    I think i have settled on upgrading to the macap M4. What is the general consensus on this grinder. I have come to this because i prefer the dosser and the screw adjustment,

    Does anyone have an issues with the M4?

Working...
