Macap Leo 55 Essential Espresso Coffee Grinder

The Leo 55 Essential is very similar to the Leo 55. The hopper, burr size, & motor are all the same. The only difference is the on-demand controls. For the Leo 55 Essential, all settings and grind operations are controlled by hand. The grind settings on the Leo 55 are controlled by hand and grind operations are controlled by your portafilter. Choosing between the 2 grinders is all a matter of preference.

The Specialità from Eureka is another similar model. They both have 55 mm flat burrs and a similar footprint on your countertop. Both bean hoppers hold approximately 300 grams of roasted coffee beans. However the Specialità has a low profile shape which saves an extra inch off the height. The on-demand controls are simple for both grinders, but the Leo 55 Essential is the one that has a triple dosing option. Combining this with the larger motor & grinding speed makes production a little faster and the clear choice.

Macap Leo 55 Grinding Adjustment

Grinding adjustment

  • Stepless – Gives an infinite number of grind settings which allows you really fine-tune your grind fineness. The adjustment knob is located on the back right of the grinder The entire dial is numbered so you can remember your current grind setting easier. Turn clockwise for a finer grind and counterclockwise for a coarser grind.
  • Solid aluminum knob – Built to last over long years of use.
Macap Leo Grinding Burrs

Grinding burrs

  • Flat burrs – Large size at 55 mm. The larger the size, the more of a grinding surface, resulting in faster production.
  • Easy access – Remove the bean hopper. The 3 center Allen key screws on the top hold the upper burr carrier.
  • Very, very little retention in doserless chute.

ALE55120US-portafilter-fork

Portafilter fork

  • Ease of use – Allows you to rest your portafilter while grinding for a complete hands-free operation. Accommodates most portafilters.
  • Adjustable – There is an Allen key screw that you can adjust to fit your portafilter.
  • Removable – You can remove the fork if you wish to grind into a container.
  • Rubber coating – The top of the fork has a rubber coating to reduce vibration and prevent scratching the portafilter.
Macap Leo Bean Hopper

Bean hopper

  • Low profile – The total height of the grinder without the hopper is approximately 9.5″. The bean hopper adds another 5.5″ bringing the total height to approximately 15″. The total capacity is approximately 300 grams.
  • Stopper – A door near the bottom of the hopper can be pushed in to close the opening. This allows you to remove the hopper with beans inside so you can easily change the beans. There will be some beans already passed in the burrs which will have to be ground out first before removing the hopper.

Electronic controls

  • Multiple dosing options – Press the center circular graphic on the screen to switch between single-cup dosing, double-cup dosing, triple dosing (OFF by default), and semi-automatic dosing.
  • Time-based grinding – You can adjust the time for each automatic dose from 2.2 seconds up to 30 seconds. You can make very tiny adjustments in 0.1-second increments. You can lock these settings by pressing and holding the circular graphic button for 3 seconds. This helps prevent other users from accidentally changing the dosing times.
  • Dosing count – This helps keep track of usage. You can access it by holding the circular graphic for 8 seconds. Once the screen changes, use the “+” and “-” buttons to switch between the options. You also have options to turn triple dosing & semi-automatic dosing ON or OFF.
  • Start grinding – The “play” button starts the grinding process.
