Re: Need a new grinder!
I guess I cant say much more than what I already did in the review. I dont think the Compak is a step down in build or component quality as such. Its more the implementation that I think lets it down a little - no usable scale and wobbly adjustment collar (which is simply normal slack in the thread). If you have the money for a Mazzer thats fine and I dont regret keeping mine, but dont think for a moment that the extra $$$ on a Mazzer translates into a better grind than the Compak - and of course you get that beautiful milled hopper on the Compak rather than the (comparatively) high-school metalwork job on the Mazzers.
