we are adding the Compak E5 to our offer, and as with the E8 we will stock both 120V and 240V editions, all in matt black and with the LED portafilter fork lights which have proven to be very useful on the E8 and E10 as many users have their grinders in a corner that is often poorly lit

dont make the mistake i made of assuming that because the E5 is a 58mm flat burr grinder that it is simply a Compak K3 in an expensive housing.  the Compak K3 is a grinder i have owned and we ceased to offer it because we dont feel it is a suitable match with our machines

the E5 has a 550W motor instead of the 210W motor on the K3 and you can see from the stated production times that the E5 grinds much quicker than the K3, so given that they both have 58mm flat burrs the pitch of the burrs on the E5 must be much more aggresive that the K3, and this will be why a motor that is more than twice as powerful as the K3 has been fitted

when Compak get around to releasing the PKR to market i will purchase one of those to test too, and assuming it measures up we plan to stock the PKR in 120V and 240V configurations also
