  • K3 Dose Timing - Countown Timer Switch?


    We all know the dose timer on the Kompak K3 is useless

    Im looking for a countdown timer switch that will switch off the grinder after say 20 seconds.

    The only one I have found is the ARLEC PC697 but it adjusts in minute increments and of course I need seconds.

    Any suggestions anyone?

    Yeah... I know I can do it manually - but auto would be nice

          Yes...Just as useless as the one on the mini-e :

          At 1/2 the price of the mini-e, its a compelling argument for agrinder which is just as good

            Exploring the dark room timer switch idea a bit more:

            The time to grind say 20gms would vary according to the bean size and hardness as well as roast qualities would it not :

            Therefore weighing beans would give a more consistent shot than timing the grind 8-)

              I had a K3. Forget the timer and dose per shot. This got me excellent, consistent results.
