Loving my Compak E10 OD too, it's definitely a step change from my old super jolly. LED lights at either side of the chute and portafilter holder are definitely very nice touches.Originally posted by Pauly404 View PostE10 OD is amazing. 3-4 seconds for a double shot - Wow! Decisions, decisions.
I stop worrying about grind retention. Coffee tastes mighty fine even without purging in humid tropical weather.

I have the Compak E10 and agree with talk coffee that the interface is better, and I'm using the single dose hopper.Originally posted by Talk_Coffee View PostYou might also consider the E10OD. Better interface and it's a compact unit with the gourmet hopper.
Robur grind times and Kony-E price...

I realise though that a lot of people seemed to be terrified of the dreaded retention, it's never been something I've ever been concerned about with my Kony-E...
If retention is such a huge bugbear though, why not look at the Elektra Nino, reputed to have next to no retention whatsoever...
Mal.
Being a Nino owner, I can confirm that there is virtually no retention and it is a fantastic grinder, however I agree with Mal- retention is not such a big issue and certainly shouldn't be a prime decider when making such a purchase. Consistency and repeatability are far more important factors which pretty much any Titan conical will give you.

OK, after lots of reading it seems grind retention is a problem for all 3....

Old thread but I'm happy to revive it.
I'm finally going conical - M7D K10 or Kony.
Nice choice now, but what should I go for?
Looks of all are good to me.
Grind retention will be the deciding factor. I expect the M7D wins there .....

Re: Macap M7D discussion thread
Thanks.
I was just wondering how tall it would be with one of my non-patented stainless hoppers!
I NEVER PUT MY HANDS ANYWHERE NEAR OPERATING MACHINERY SUCH AS THIS. Thats why despite working on cars, lathes, and lots of power saws, etc. I still have all my appendages.

Hi Greg,Originally posted by 55607775457D607F737E76120 link=1295409969/21#21 date=1304948481How tall is it without the hopper?
This is a grinder which I would NEVER operate without a hopper. Have a gander at that augur over the burrs
There is a guard in the hopper to keep delicate fingers out. Modify at your own risk

Re: Macap M7D discussion thread
Hmmmm...bit of a monster!
Still, if I buy some of those cups on top of the shelves at Attilios (shown in the background of the photo) maybe I can pull off some sort of optical illusion... ;D ;D ;D

Re: Macap M7D discussion thread
Sniff.....sorry no "gun metal" models, only chrome.
Greg, the grinder stands 380mm from bench top to top of adjusting ring (ie without a hopper on).
Comparo foto of M7 vs M4 below. You will have a hard time explaining how you fed growth hormones to the M4 and got a ...... 7?????? ;D
Hope that helps,
