Care instructions

For cleaning, the bean container should be removed and a dose of Pulygrind poured into the grinder mechanism. Then replace the bean container and grind out the crystals along with coffee until no more crystals come out of the grinder; usually a couple of doses are required. We recommend cleaning about once a month, but the interval depends on how much the grinder is used. It is also wise not to fill the entire bean container if you will not use the beans within a few days, as the aromas may otherwise deteriorate unnecessarily.

Usage and settings

The grind size is adjusted with a knob at the grinder’s neck. Turn clockwise for coarser grind and counterclockwise for finer grind, preferably in small steps at a time. An honest thing to keep in mind is that this grinder works best with users who actually want to adjust and experiment, rather than those who just want to press a button without fine-tuning the result. As a guideline for espresso, 25 milliliters in 25 seconds is indicated, but the final setting depends on the bean type and blend. Generally, you often want to grind finer when the arabica content is higher and slightly coarser when the robusta content increases.

The timer is set via the digital display on the front. By holding down the silver button above the display, you enter the settings mode, where you can adjust grind times and access statistics. When the grinder is set, the same button is used to switch between manual grinding, marked with an infinity symbol, and timed grinding with the “Push and grind” mode.

About the M42 series

The M42D RV Chrome is part of Macap's M42 series, designed for semi-professional use. This model is a step above the M42M R and is aimed at those who want more control, clearer settings, and extra features in daily use. The digital display simplifies adjustment, and the option to mount a portafilter support and coffee press makes the workflow more practical. The LED lighting over the portafilter is another appreciated detail when you want to work carefully and experiment with different espresso settings.

For those who want a Compact but capable commercial espresso grinder for home or a smaller service, the Macap M42D RV is a safe choice with precision, speed, and refined design.

Compare coffee grinders

Macap M42D RV has the largest burr diameter (58 mm) and higher RPM, which results in a slower grinding speed per batch and may suit you if you prioritize steady, evenly ground doses for espresso in a slightly heavier machine format. It is also physically larger and heavier, providing stability in a café environment or home bar with space for a robust grinder.

MI20 Touch is more compact and lighter with faster grinding speed and smaller burrs (50 mm), suitable if you want faster throughput in tighter spaces. Eureka Mignon Libra (Grind by weight) and Eureka Mignon Libra 65 All Purpose GBW offer scale-controlled dosing — convenient for precise, repeatable doses without counting seconds — and Anti-static function that facilitates cleaner handling. Libra 65 is more versatile: larger 65 mm burrs and settings for both espresso and filter, ideal for those who want to use one grinder for multiple brew methods.

Buying advice: choose Macap if you want a stable, high-capacity grinder for pure espresso performance; choose MI20 Touch if you need a fast, space-friendly solution; choose one of the Eureka Libra models if you value weight-based precision and less hassle with dosing—go for Libra 65 if you also want to brew both espresso and filter.
