Just a quicky here re the Compak k8 grinder.
Has anyone any knowledge and or opinions of this model?
Thanks, Craig.
Hi Craig,
The K8 competes with the Mazzer major....
If I was shopping in that market, I reckon Id skip straight past and grab a K10 WBC which will go pretty much toe to toe with a Mazzer Robur and a is whole gorilla cheaper....At under $2k, the K10 is a "bargain" and leaves you a grand to spend on something else....
I have a K8 and love it: great grind, very fast, very quiet, easy to adjust, doser wipes clean and dumps into the centre of the PF nicely.
In my case, its for home use so, being a commercial spec grinder some issues like the gi-normous hopper, auto fill and the grind retention in the chute have required some adjustments.
I bought it pre-"un"-loved and it needed a lot of TLC to get it right.
Without the hopper, its big black/chrome curvey body and its big chrome tamper nose, it looks like the mutant love child of a degenerate threesome between R2D2, Gonzo from the muppets and some 70s Drip percolater....[I can hear the wah wah music now!!] ...but hey!! you get used to its uglyness.
From what Ive read, the K10WBC with conical burrs is a show stopper of a grinder.

Thanks Reubster, I have been given one to play with I am not sure it is right
for me in the shop but I used it for some Bani Ismail tonight and it was as you say easy to adjust and quiet.
