SKU M025009878 Categories , Brand:

The Macap Leo 55 is a compact on-demand espresso grinder featuring 55mm flat burrs that deliver 2 grams of ground coffee per second. It is ideal for both compact café bars and home espresso enthusiasts who value low noise and efficiency. The grinder includes a user-friendly digital display with three customisable doses, a continuous-grind option, and a unique no-screw burr removal system for quick cleaning.

The Macap Leo 55 is a compact on-demand espresso grinder that punches well above its footprint — built around a set of 55mm flat burrs that deliver 2 grams of ground coffee per second, roughly twice the throughput of comparable grinders in its class. Macap’s Silent System Technology keeps the grinder running quietly while drawing just 390 watts, making the Leo 55 both unusually efficient and well-suited to compact café bars, dual-machine setups, or home espresso enthusiasts who care about low noise. A user-friendly digital display gives the barista three customisable doses plus a continuous-grind option, with grinding triggered either by the portafilter holder or via the dedicated PLAY button — useful for single-dosing or dialling in a new bean. Stepless aluminium dial adjustment allows precise, repeatable grind setting, and Macap’s No-Screw burr removal system makes routine cleaning genuinely fast — burrs come out in seconds without tools. An integrated cooling system keeps temperatures stable during back-to-back service, preserving grind quality and burr life. Finished here in a refined Satin Black, the Leo 55 is built in Italy and designed to stay quiet, efficient, and accurate in everyday espresso service.

Had my ECM Synchronika serviced by Espresso Works recently and figured the service was worth writing a review of my excellent experience. I bought my machine second hand and immediately encountered a leak from my flow control valve. Another 5-star rated company charged me an absolute fortune and didn't resolve the issue until the second visit. I had to show them how to fix the leak, and that it was two perished o-rings that caused it. The fix only requires 10 minutes of work and a few dollars in parts. They also returned my machine with a dent and several scratches. The reason I include this anecdote is because it doesn't seem uncommon for companies to offer servicing and repairs for premium machines and not actually know what they're doing or take any care in the quality of their work. Espresso Works is a welcome exception to this. Meaghan organised for Dom to both collect and return my machine; both times were prompt and on time. When it was returned, all surfaces had been wiped down and looked almost new again. All my valves, levers and taps are smoother and quieter than I'd have expected them to be on a several year old machine! They listened to what my concerns were about the machine before pickup and these were reflected in the service report on my invoice where each issue was looked into. In short, I highly recommend Espresso Works to anyone with a premium machine, especially those with ECM machines, as the work done on mine is fantastic and the experience interacting with their company was great.

Top quality customer service. Great product range for high-end home coffee machines. I had small issues with my Torre Peppina. They sent a technician straight away to get it fixed and followed up to ensure the machine was working perfectly. I recommend buying with a local like Espresso Works Perth WA for the extra assistance post-sale.
