About Macap

Macap, short for Macina Caffè Petiziol, represents nearly a century of Italian engineering dedicated to professional coffee equipment. Founded in 1930 by Ottorino Petiziol in the Venetian hinterland, the company began as a small mechanical workshop that would eventually shape the evolution of grinder technology. Early on, Macap developed the first horizontal dispenser, a breakthrough that paved the way for many of the industry’s modern designs.
Still operating with its original small-batch foundry, Macap has maintained its tradition of craftsmanship while embracing advanced industrial manufacturing. Now led by the family’s third generation—Susanna and Marco—the brand blends heritage, technical expertise, and continuous innovation.
Today, Macap’s product range spans traditional and on-demand coffee grinders, along with patented dynamometric tampers that highlight the brand’s engineering capabilities. With a presence in more than 70 countries, Macap equipment is trusted by professionals and enthusiasts who value precision, durability, and authentic Italian coffee preparation.
Rooted in tradition and refined through decades of innovation, Macap continues to elevate the standard of coffee grinding across the world.
