Hello potential helpers! ;-)
I recently picked up a 2004 Compak K8 Silenzio from ebay. It was ex-Gloria Jeans and upon arrival looked like it never been cleaned and smelled disgusting. I have completely stripped it down, cleaned it and rebuilt it. I have also replaced the burrs with brand newies.
The problem arises here: I chuck some beans in and grind on the finest possible setting (ie: the upper burr carrier was wound in to where to the burrs touch, then backed off ever so slightly) and they come out like sand!
The picture below shows grinds from my rocky on its usual espresso setting next to the K8s finest grinds :-/
If anyone could lend some advice it would be much appreciated!
Tim
