Hi All,
After quite some time researching grinders, with the fantastic help from many here, I ordered a Compak K3 Touch from Jetblack Espresso (keeping it in the sponsor family). After some challenges with the courier company (understand this is out of the hands of Jetblack, infact Debbie went out of her way to help so my thanks to her!), who don't seem to understand that overnight doesn't mean a few weeks, it arrived today (queue excitement).
Immediately I saw the big Wega markings on the box, then as I opened the box up, I noticed that whilst it looks similar, it's definitely a Wega 5.8 71MAX5414 NERO M Touch STD.
My reading so far, just means this is a re-branded unit, also I've noticed the unit has a dial on the front marked 6 - 12 just under the portafilter holder. This doesn't show up in the instructions at all, nor any online images I can find for the Compak K3 or Wega, however my thought is this is the adjustment for the single or double dose system.
Just wanted to check with some trusted folks if this is actually an issue at all, it's just a bit odd to get something that is branded differently and featured differently to what I had ordered.
PS - I have contacted Jetblack via e-mail also and asked for clarification (before this post went up), but as it's out of hours I was looking for extra info before I start to use it (and you know I want to start using it!).
