Nuova Simonelli MCI Burr Grinder in Black

Description

Owning the Nuova Simonelli MCI

The perfect companion for any of their home grinders, Nuova Simonellis MCI grinder is a serious performer in a slim package. The MCI benefits from its commercial counterparts, since many of their components and technology are integrated into its little body. It holds the same NSF rating as all of Nuova Simonellis machines, so you can be confident that its chock full of professional-grade parts. The MCIs stepless adjustment allows for infinite fine tuning of the grind by adjusting the burrs in small increments with a quick twist of a knob. An excellent feature of the MCI, is that the bottom burr moves up and down during adjustment. So, when you remove the top burr for cleaning it wont affect your grind setting at all. Its easy to access the burrs by simply removing three phillips head screws on the panel under the hopper. Its simple and quick, and you can jump right back into grinding afterward.

The MCI comes equipped with a 150 watt motor that handily revolves its 50mm burrs during grinding. The motor is relatively heavy, acting as a counterbalance of sorts to prevent wobbling and ensure a quiet grind. Using the MCI is simple, and, of course, it wouldnt be a Nuova Simonelli if it didnt have options. The MCIs timed grinding dial can be set between 4.5 and 15.5 seconds, for a certain amount on demand, or you can grind manually. Ground coffee is dispensed out of the chute into an awaiting portafilter basket, and, while its quick, we did notice its a bit messier than some grinders. Though, if you can find a mess-free grinder, its likely divine. In all, the MCI is thoughtfully designed, intuitive to use, and the perfect finishing touch to a Nuova Simonelli set up.
