There’s a sound that tells a story. It’s the hum of a motor coming to life in the heart of the Veneto region, back in 1930. Here, in this industrious land, Ottorino Petiziol opened a mechanical workshop where passion, craftsmanship, and metal converged. Within the walls of his workshop, a new chapter unfolds: Officine Petiziol start the production of coffee grinders under Macdobar brand. The first true revolution came with the horizontal doser. A spark that would ignite change across the entire coffee grinding industry. From that moment on, the way coffee was handled would never be the same.
In 1978, the second generation with brothers Luigi and Antonio, embraced that technical heritage and expanded it. And thus, Macap – Macinacaffè Petiziol – was born, a name that forever carries the legacy of a family and its roots. From Italian tradition to the evolving global coffee culture. It was precisely to meet these evolving needs that Macap designed with Illy the first dynamometric tamper: a precise, consistent gesture, eliminating human error. But it’s with Susanna and Marco – the third generation – that Macap takes its decisive leap: from artisan workshop to modern, specialized industry, driven by vision and innovation.
Currently active in over 70 countries, Macap’s machines support baristas and roasters all over the world. Innovation means never settling. Leo 55, featuring patented flat burrs and an intuitive interface, expresses functional elegance, crafted to bring espresso coffee into the home environment. The Supra line, unveiled at SCA EXPO 2025, pushes the boundary between aesthetics and performance, technology and usability. But the true heart of Macap lies in its people: skilled hands, precision, an obsessive dedication to detail. A proudly Italian excellence not only measured in numbers, but in the daily passion of those who turn coffee into a perfect ritual. Macap is more than a brand: it’s a story of passion, precision, and progress. A journey that continues—cup after cup.
