Looking to upgrade from my Compak k5. I have read many reviews and opinions of commercial grinders and the more i read the more undecided i am. Too much choice sometimes. Thats why i am putting it out there to proffessional Cafe owners if they could tell me which grinder works for them. The K5 has been a good grinder for my first grinder but i find it noisy and id prefer a stepless as these seem to be more accurate from what i have read. I only do about 5-7 kilos a week and my budget is $1000 - $1500. Would consider second hand. Thanks in advance

Id suggest Mazzer SJ/Major or perhaps a K6/K8 Silenzio....There are great Macap grinders as well with the MX and M7 both being well within budget. New will give you GST savings and you might/should also qualify for the 30% tax rebate on capital investment? This would bring the Macap and Compak conicals close to your budget and may be a better option than pre-loved.
I guess the ultimate choice will come down to how much you plan to grow your coffee business.

Re: Cafe owners advice
Thanks 2mcm. Ill investigate those you recommended. Yes new would be the go to take advantage of the rebate. I am happy with the current growth of my business at 4 days a week and just myself as sole employee. Household duties and with the wife working nights and 2 boys to support limits me to grow any further at present.Originally posted by 376870666D666A6363606068646B050 link=1241485911/1#1 date=1241486580Id suggest Mazzer SJ/Major or perhaps a K6/K8 Silenzio....There are great Macap grinders as well with the MX and M7 both being well within budget.New will give you GST savings and you might/should also qualify for the 30% tax rebate on capital investment?
