Re: Compak K3 or Ascaso I-Mini
Hi Andrew,
I can vouch for the Compak K3 Elite (doser-type). I bought it for home use about a year ago and havent regreted it.
To my mind: solid build, clean design, reliable consistent grind and good ergonomics.

Re: Compak K3 or Ascaso I-Mini
Hi Secksy,
For what its worth, Id say the Ascaso equivalent to the Compak K3 would be the Ascaso i-home (i1), not the i-mini (i3). I have the i1 and its an excellent grinder! Very good for the price, Id say. I havent used the Compak K3.
Having said that, most people (including Chris, I suspect) would probably still recommend the Compak K3 over the Ascaso i1. Perhaps they can tell you why?
Cheers,
Stuart.

It sounds like the K3 will handle any future espresso machine up-grades far better than the I-Mini might! 8-)

Re: Compak K3 or Ascaso I-Mini
Hi Andrew- Its an absolute no contest...The K3T by a country mile. Its a serious commercial quality grinder and frequently used for decaf in cafes. The i-mini, while good is much more of an appliance...With grinders, you really do get what you pays for...Originally posted by Secksy link=1220092710/0#0 date=1220092709Hi all
I need to up-grade my grinder but am being a little dollar conscious, as I would also like a new espresso machine in the not too distant future.
I understand that the overall quality of the K3 is probably better, however, there is also $200 difference between them as well. Does the K3 really grind a noticeable $200 better? Or is it more a case that the K3 would last longer?
I very much value your advice & comments before I make my purchase 8-)
Thanks again guys
Warm Regards
