  1. Coffee Beans
    Just received an order of Hill and Valley from Coffee Compass. I understand from the reviews that this coffee needs a bit of respect I would welcome any advice on prep from anyone that has used it. I'm letting it rest for a good week.

    Just had a delivery of new burrs for my K3 from Ferrari Espresso and just gone to fit them and they are too small. After a bit of investigation i discovered that there are 2 different sizes of burrs for the K3. 54mm & 58mm. Mine takes the 58mm burrs. Did Compak change the design of the K3?

    I have been fairly happy with how my coffee comes out but there is always room for improvement. For the sake of fiddling, i upgraded the shower screen holder to a brass one (I already have the IMS Shower screen) and I also got a gauge and performed the OPV mod. I also replaced the 58mm burrs in...

    I'm interested to know how often members change their baskets? I have had my Classic for almost a year. Its a 2008 model and I can only assume the double basket has never been changed. I have been toying with the idea of replacing it with a VST basket but I cant afford to change my tamper as...

    I just wanted to give a shout out to Richard at Coffee Compass. My order placed last Friday has been lost by Postman Pat. Richard's customer service has been brilliant and today he has put a replacement bag of Sweet Bourbon in the post for me. Thanks again Richard.

    I had a Cubika and an MDF for 4 years until January when I got the Classic. Its a 2008 model and was in perfect condition. The only mod I have done so far is upgrade the steam wand. I got the K3 last month and it needed a bit of TLC. It had a few screws missing and was quite tired looking. I...

    Hi all. This is a big ask but if anyone has a K3 Touch (the model with the timer adjuster underneath the grinder) and is happy to take the base off and take a photo of the PC assembly I would be eternally grateful & would owe you a big drink . The base is held on with 4 screws. A big ask I know!

    Hi all. Does anyone know where I may locate a wiring diagram for a K3, the version with the timer adjuster POT underneath the machine? Compak are a bit reluctant to help. All part of my renovation of a K3.

    I am looking at getting a Compak K3 Touch Doseless. Does anyone know if all versions of the K3 Touch have the timer adjuster underneath or is it only certain models of the touch? Thanks all. Shaun

    Hi all. I think I need to replace the burrs on my MDF. I have found them from a Gaggia spares site for £22 each...not the pair!!!! This does seem rather steep to me. Can anyone suggest a good supplier of burrs at a slightly more reasonable price?

    I am currently grinding on my MDF at minimum setting of 1 & 2. Most forums, videos and other places of advice suggest the MDF be set approx 6-8 for espresso. I feel that my shots are still running a little fast even at that low grind setting. So my question is, does it sound like my burrs need...

    When I make a milk based drink, I tend to steam the milk first and then make the espresso. I don't like the coffee standing for too long. After I have finished steaming and turned off the steam button, if I press the hot water button, steam comes screaming out of the group head for a few seconds...

    Hi all. Looking to finally buy a classic but I understand that it s not the same machine anymore, notably the removal of the 3 way solenoid? I have been leaning towards the Baby instead. Any advice would be most welcome. Shaun.
