Pros
- Grind Adjustment: Stepless grind adjusts are great for precision, but often are hard to control in small increments. The screw-style adjust on the wheel, however makes very fine grind adjustments a snap.
- Workflow-Focused: The M42D's focus is firmly on workflow, with priorities paid to things like adjustable dosing style, portafilter compatibility, and a control scheme that cant be easily bumped or swiped in error.
-
Cons
- No Big Moves: The screw-style grind adjust is great for precision, but gets old quickly if you attempt to make wide/large changes.
