Compak K3 Elite Low Speed Burr Espresso Grinder

Compak understands that sometimes power and functionality simply are not enough. No, if you're going to shell out for a pricey piece of coffee hardware, it has to also look good enough to earn a space on your countertop. It's with this thought in mind that the K3 Elite was designed. Featuring a large bean hopper that is designed to prevent jamming, settings for single, double or constant grind quantities and an easy-to-clean ground chute, this grinder is ideal for the home enthusiast or a small commercial cafe. And, as mentioned earlier, the clean lines and attractive design is leaps and bounds above most other mid-range grinders on the market.

Crew Review

Pros

Form Matters - The engineers who created the K3 understood that you'd have this on display in your kitchen, and the sleek design of the included features reflect this understanding
Stepless - With a quick rotation of the hopper lever, you easily advance beans
Save Jams - Many other similar grinders are more prone to jams between the hopper and the grinder. Not so here!

Cons

Small Burrs - Compared with other similar grinders, the burrs on this unit have been rated slightly less effective
Fixed Position Tamper - The fixed position tamper eliminates a bit of space under the ground chute

How it Works
Fill the bean hopper and switch the power to the "On" position. Open the shutter to allow the beans to flow through, and adjust the grind setting using the grind lever. Dispense grounds into the portafilter, and tamp down with the attached tamper.

For complete, illustrated instructions on how to use your grinder, please review the included user manual.

Care
For detailed care instructions, please refer to your machine's user manual. We recommend that you also incorporate the following into your cleaning routine:

Clean out all parts that come into contact with the coffee grounds at least once a week
To clean the ground coffee holder, first empty all the coffee inside it. Remove the ground coffee dispenser lid and clean the inside, using a small brush.
Keep the exterior clean with a damp, soft cloth

Components & Functionality

Steps Are For Suckers: Stepless grind adjustment makes it easier than ever to make tweaks to the fineness of your grind without complicated adjustments with tools.

How Do You Want It?: The K3 Elite features single, double or continuous dosing systems with a twist of the easy-access aluminium handle.

All About Beans: The grinder is designed to operate using minimal RPMs, which means that the 58mm flat burrs stay as cool as possible and do not transfer excess heat to your roast. The hopper holds up to half-a-pound of beans - more than enough for home or light commercial use.
