Compak K 3 Elite Espresso Grinder Polished
Owning the Compak K-3 Elite Espresso Grinder
The K-3 Elite is a commercial-grade stepless coffee grinder especially designed for hotels, restaurants and domestic use. Made entirely of aluminum, the K-3 is ideal for small batch, professional ground coffee. With 58mm burrs, the Elite is ideal for catering and home use. The K-3 Elite employs an aluminum Uni-body housing, commercial-grade 58mm burr grinder and automatic dosing of ground coffee. An aluminum tamper is connected to the doser. Since this is a stepless grinder, the burrs can be adjusted to achieve an infinite range of grind fineness levels. The hopper holds 10 ounces of coffee beans and the dispensing chute is easy to clean. (Optional 1.75 pound hopper available for purchase.)
As with all Compak grinders, the K-3 Elite utilizes a mounted motor, wherein the motor is not fused with the housing. If the motor breaks down, it can be replaced without replacing the whole grinder. The mounted motor also makes for quieter grinding, and most importantly, less heat transferred to the coffee grinds.

HarfanCoffee…Ya’ll the best!! This faustino is enjoying its new home on the coffee bar inside of my 100% off grid, solar powered school bus conversion. I was able to pull the perfect 2oz shot in 25 seconds after only 3 grind adjustments…out of the box…For me, 14.7 seconds into my bottomless portafilter with Super Crema beans is perfect oRead more about review stating Whole Latte Love…Ya’ll the best!!n my Appartamento.

Easy-to-use and works wonderfully. I find it very quiet and easy to adjust both the time and grind. I love that you can stop it mid-grind to settle the coffee in the portafilter. The only negative I have, and it’s a very minor thing, is I wish the portafilter holder didn’t have to be screwed in. If it were able to pop in & out, it would be easRead more about review stating Great Grinderier to clean. Note: if you read the manual, it describes a screw to tighten for the bean holder; there isn’t a screw but I haven’t found it necessary. Overall I’m happy with the performance plus it looks amazing on my counter.

I’m very happy with the way this grinder performs. It’s a beautiful and compact machine. I love the step less grinding for my espresso but this gets a bit tricky when looking to change my brewing method. I will likely have to add a secondary grinder for this which is expected and not necessarily an issue. I have had this machine for a few weeks noRead more about review stating I love this machinew.

I am very happy with the Faustino. The step-less grind adjustment is amazing and turning the small dial to make small tweaks is actually beautifully precise. The curb appeal on this bad boy is enough to draw your eye from across the room. My only negative experience is a handful of times, the touch interface had seemed too sensitive and registeredRead more about review stating Could not have asked for a more beautiful and functional grinder at this price point! a button press when I just grazed it. That said, it has been amazing 99% of the time, and I couldn’t ask for more.
