However we are lucky enough to have a little old beach shack and after being spoiled at home with good espresso I was starting to get twitchy about drinking blade-ground press coffee there. So when I saw an MDF they were selling off at a great price in Merlo I bought one (I think I paid $130). For the money it functions superbly. The quality of the grounds for the press and aeropress are excellent (I haven't used it with an espresso machine yet). However compared to the Compak, because it is set up as a doser, it is messier to use. I have found the trick is to just grind the precise amount of beans needed for the press and then dispense all of the grounds from the doser.
I have a feeling the MDF will outlast any super electronic offering costing <$300
