Compak K-3 Grinders

Coffee Burr Grinder

Compak offers 2 models of home coffee grinders: K-3 Touch and K-3 Elite.

Coffee Burr Grinder

The K-3 Elite coffee and espresso grinder by Compak is a flat burr grinder with the technology of the expensive, commercial grinders, but can also fit nicely on your kitchen counter top. The flat burrs are constructed of tempered steel and measure 58 mm, making the machine incredibly precise and capable. An important aspect of any quality grinder is the proper grind for your desired drink. Compak has equipped the K-3 Elite with a terrific step less micrometrical grinding system, which allows the consumer to fine tune their personally preferred grind to their own specifications. Another crucial aspect to the grinding process is the temperature of the beans. The K-3 Elite's mounted motor operates at lower RPMs, making it not only a quieter model, it also keeps the coffee from being heated up while it is being ground, keeping the bean's integrity until it is time to brew it. The machine, however, is not meant to be used continually over long periods, or the heating will be unavoidable because you will have overworked the motor. The suggested time of use for optimum performance is to alternate at least 10 minutes of rest for every 2 minutes of work. In addition to being useful for making a delicious cup of espresso or coffee, the mounted motor means that if the motor breaks down, it can be replaced. This means you do not need to purchase an entirely new grinder.

The Compak K-3 Elite has an automatic doser, which releases 7-gram portions of grinds when the lever is pulled. A doser ensures a clump-free pull makes its way into your machines filter; therefore, ensuring a better tasting cup of coffee. In addition, the K-3 Elite comes with a tamper, located directly above the doser. The hopper holds a modest 10 oz of beans, but can be upgraded to a larger 1.75 lb hopper if necessary. The aluminium construction of the Compak K-3 Elite is sturdy and attractive, lending itself to a good appearance on any counter, be it home or office. The Compak K-3 Elite is a wonderful choice for at-home baristas who demand more of their grinder. The precision and doser features make the Elite comparable to a commercial grade grinder without the price tag or the large size.

If you want the option of single dose, double dose or continuous dosage for your coffee then the Compak K-3 Touch coffee grinder is for you. It is a reasonably priced model, which means it is suitable for the domestic environment as well as commercial environments which have fairly low demand. The grind system is stepless which means that a precise coarseness can be selected using the 58mm flat burrs without any of the limitations of alternative models. The switch has three options, off, automatic and manual, so it is easy to select what you need at the touch of a button. The coffee grinder comes with a 0.66 pound hopper but there is an optional 1.75 pound one available should a larger capacity be needed. The grinder speed is 1100 rpms and the machine is capable of producing 11-15 pounds of ground coffee in a single minute.
