Static (?) flap in compak k10 fresh chute

[Alexpid]

Took a picture of the chute in my k10 fresh

Can anyone tell me what the little plastic flap does, and can/should I remove it?

It's probably the same as the K3. Helps break up the clumps and slows the grinds so they don't go spraying everywhere.

Thanks. I'll consider removing it if clumping backs up behind the flap

[artman]

The grinds will back up behind it as it is a restriction. But you will most likely find it does more good than bad. I took out the flap in the k3 and put it back after a while.

Ok nice to know. If it ain't broke...
