Hi! Thanks for the question. We only had this machine in our tasting room for a few months, so I can't say from direct use day after day. However, according to our customers who have owned one of these for a few years now, they're still really happy with their selection. Hope that's helpful!
Hi! The grinder is the MaCap M5D espresso grinder. I wouldn't recommend it for a pour over grind as it's not able to go course enough. Hope that's helpful!
What's the brand name of the grinder your using in this video? Also, does it just grind for espresso or can you grind a little courser for a pour over?
Hi There! In my experience, it takes about 10 mins for the "heating" indicator light to turn off (meaning that the machine is ready to use). I always give it an extra 5 to heat up the group head more. With daily use, it can be left on continuously (as long as there is water in the tank). Of course this isn't the most energy efficient. I have a customer who purchased an auto timer-the kind you get at hardware stores- to turn on the machine each morning automatically.
Hi there! That's the MaCap MD5 digital. It's a little bit more pricey as it's intended for commercial use or high end home use. There are some great direct dose home grinders we offer too....the Nuova Simonelli 'Grinta', as well as the Baratza Vario or Virtuoso. I'm happy to answer any questions for you in your search for the right grinder - just email me any time.

ReplyDeleteHi Liz, Since having the Musica for 2 years would you still give a recommendation on buying one? Thanks.

ReplyDeleteAs a barista myself, I must say, it's refreshing to see you have good technique. :)
