The MC4 at £218 does seem a good price but please explain - without a holder for the portafilter or a doser container what do you do to catch the coffee. Following all these recent links I see it is a close run thing between a Mazzer mini and a Macap M4. The coffeegeek review was on the M5 and that seems to be going at the same price as the M4. So why buy the M4 not the M5? Its a genuine question. I need to upgrade and the Mazzer or Macap seems to be the way to go but if the truth be known I know little about these things. I just like good coffee.

I got a very good price from Traders of Surbiton earlier this year for a manual mini with the push buttons -- might be worth a try.

Traders are a great company, they have been very helpful with my Astoria Junior 120 -240v conversion so far. Their prices are good and the coffee is always freshly roasted. Highly recommended company.

just hold the PF underneath the shoot, eben if you don't have a fork - which the Mazzer does have, btw, one can wait these 8 seconds of grinding :)
I don't know the other machine, but I can speak good about the mazzer.
and the company Raf ment was eis-fassbender. just one "s"
but I just visited their site which has changed to eisunion.de and I can't find the Mazzer anymore. But if you contact them, they might still have some left.
