Macap M4D: New Burrs - taking more time to grind

[Caffeinator]

Yep- Mazzer mini burrs- glacially slow. Get your tech to fit the correct pert.

I’m experiencing the same slow delivery problem with my M4D. Taking at least 18-20 second for a 21 gm basket. Maximum you can program is 16 seconds. My replacement burrs are Mazzer. Have tried running beans through it at various grind levels to hopefully season them as suggested by others on the forum with no change to speed. Any thoughts on this or advice greatly appreciated.
The tech that fitted them is more than happy for me to bring it back to him (which I probably will do). Just wondering if anyone is of the opinion that the Mazzer burrs are not a good fit.

Would anyone know what I should ask for my M4D? It’s in a rare white enamel colour (photo is a few posts above). I think maybe I sell it and upgrade. It’s in exceptionally good condition.

Hi bain89, these are genuine Macap burrs - I've added "genuine" to the description to make that clear, thanks.

Yes the M4 and M4D use different burrs. Thanks for the heads about re the link - fixed now

I’m thinking about replacing my M4D burrs too, they are three years old. Can I use the M4 burrs from Jet Black Espresso? Where is the best place to get genuine ones?

Currently 21 grams takes about 10 seconds.

Hi, from previous experience some time ago the M4 burrs will not fit as the screw spacing and slightly different. Also the M4D burrs have a more aggressive profile hence the 4D grinds quicker...... so confirm the burrs you are looking at are to suit the M4D model.....

PS. Charlie I just tried your link and it didn’t work for me....

99.9% sure that can’t happen as from memory the screw patten is incompatible, slightly different spacing. As mentioned that is from some time ago as I brought burrs and had to return them as they would not fit.

Well, this must have been the 0.1%. Burrs on the bottom with coffee grinds on them were the replaced ones (not M4D) that took a lot longer to grind and the ones on top are the genuine M4D burrs that grind wonderfully.

That could be a possibility, Macap burrs were installed but from another model.

Thanks for the info. Never tried- but that all makes sense...

One thing to note is that there are two different part numbers- both genuine. The M4 and M4D are different. Possible that an M4 set (which is a less aggressive cut) may have been mistakenly supplied and fitted.
