How to look after your MC6
A commercial grinder, such as the Macap M7D, Eureka Helios or BUNN MHG, grinds many kilos a week and needs a daily routine, the dose checked every morning and new burrs according to kg. Here is the schedule and the products we recommend.
Good to know about the Macap MC6
The bean hopper, lid and drip tray are washed in water with mild washing-up liquid, never in the dishwasher. Always unplug the grinder before cleaning.
The grinder must not be run without the bean hopper and lid in place.
If the motor protection trips, unplug the grinder and wait at least an hour before using it again.
