Re: Macap MC4 Review
Dick,
Conical burrs (on a quality machine - not a Solis 166 type :
) produce more elongated grinds than their flat counterpart..... which is supposed to produce a smoother espresso than the more rounded grinds from flat burrs....
The problem is quality conical grinders are mega expensive!
Some have reported a similar taste is possible by dumping the first second or so of a pour made from a flat burr grinder..... this apparently contains most of the overextracted tastes.
Havent tried it myself as Im happy with the taste of what I produce from a flat burr grinder.
