I couldn't tell ya that one. Can't remember the last time I drank coffee.

My wife brews, and always has, Cafe Bustello in her drip and it is espresso grind and seems to work fine.

So the same setting can be used in a drip as in an espresso maker? Good to know........man, I'm slipping down the coffee slope.....

NO. You would not get a satisfactory result.

The only reason that review on the Macap says it's not good for coffee is the inconvenience of changing from an espresso grind to a drip grind. As far as the quality of the grind is concerned, that is not the issue.

This article explains some good facts about grinders in general, and look for the section on the Macap M4, it should explain some things for you.
