Powering Hundreds of Businesses Including:

At a certain point, you stop looking for a grinder that simply works and start looking for one that stays out of your way. You will notice the Micrometric Parallel System most on the days you don't have to think about it, as it keeps your burrs aligned and your settings from drifting during heavy use. It is a tool for the person who understands that a high-end setup is only as reliable as its most precise component.

Product Features

500 W Motor at 1,400 RPM

A 500 W motor running at 1,400 RPM keeps grind speed and throughput steady for high-control home use or low-volume service. Paired with the integrated cooling fan, it helps maintain consistent performance during longer runs.

58 mm K110 Steel Burrs

58 mm K110 flat steel burrs deliver café-grade particle sizing for precise espresso extraction. The larger flat burr surface promotes consistent grind distribution so your shots stay repeatable as you refine your dial-in.

Micrometric Parallel System

The Micrometric Parallel System provides stepless, ultra-fine adjustments with a stability lock so you can make tiny changes and lock a setting for repeatable results. Ideal for prosumers who value precise control over extraction.

Capacitive LCD Keypad

The Capacitive LCD keypad offers intuitive one-touch dose programming for single, double, or continuous grinding, making it easy to store and recall exact doses. That lets you reproduce recipes quickly across different beans and shots.

Lock & Load system

The Lock & Load system lets you access the burr chamber for cleaning or replacement without losing your grind setting. It reduces downtime and protects your calibrated dial-in when servicing or swapping burrs.

Adjustable Portafilter Fork

The adjustable portafilter fork supports hands-free dosing and accommodates a variety of filter baskets for a tidy, consistent workflow. It’s built for repeatable dosing during focused home sessions or small café shifts.

The Coffeeionado Take

Who's It For:

  • Home Baristas Ready to Step Up — If your current grinder is holding back your espresso, the 58mm flat steel burrs and stepless micrometric adjustment offer the precision to actually taste the difference
  • Intermediate to Advanced Home Users — Those who've outgrown entry-level grinders and want the adjustability and build quality to explore different roast levels and brew methods

It's Right For You If:

  • You're looking for a capable home grinder with stepless micrometric adjustment that lets you fine-tune your espresso without the compromises of stepped settings.
  • The stepless micrometric adjustment gives you infinite control over particle size, so you can chase that perfect extraction without being locked into preset steps.

Things to Consider:

  • Weight is moderate at 8.1kg — manageable for occasional repositioning, but you'll want it to live in one spot.
  • No programmable dosing presets — you'll be manually timing or weighing each dose. Some baristas prefer this control; others find it adds a step to the workflow.

Our Take:

The Compak I3 Pro On Demand Coffee Grinder is a well-built prosumer grinder with 58mm flat steel burrs that punch above their size class. A solid choice for home baristas who want café-quality espresso without café-sized equipment.

Micrometric Parallel System

Adjust the grind setting with utmost accuracy using a straightforward and intuitive method. The innovative Parallel locking system enhances safety by guaranteeing consistent alignment between the burrs at all times.

Compak button switch

Different Operating Modes

A switch with three different positions allows for flexibility in operation. When the Automatic Mode you are able to use the menu to choose between single and double grind using the touch panel. With Manual Mode, you use the switch to control the grinding to manually pull the shots.

58mm Burrs

This flat burr grinder is equipped for wear and tear with a durability of 400 Kg, it features burrs made of high-durability tempered steel (100Cr6). These 58mm coffee grinder burrs are often unimodal, meaning they produce a narrower range of particle sizes. This is advantageous for espresso, where you will want a tight distribution around the desired grind size.

On Demand Grinder

This espresso grinder features on-demand grinding activated by the portafilter coming in contact with the button at the base of the portaholder. With this function you can operate the machine just by inserting the portafilter and have the machine grind automatically.

Quick Grind Speeds

Based on medium roast coffee, this espresso grinder can average 2.5 grams/sec output.

Compak i3 Pro

Direct Access

With the Lock & Load System regulation, you can easily clean or change burrs without losing the adjustment. This system allows you direct access to the grinding chamber.

Compak i3 Pro System

Keypad with LCD Display

The touch screen on this Compak grinder features a large 2.8" screen and comes in multiple languages and is built with burr change alarm, a screensaver, and total and partial dose counters. You can even protect access with a password.

Who is the I3 Pro Grinder Made For?

The Compak I3 Pro professional espresso machine is perfect for the low to medium volume shops or the home barista that needs a reliable consistent machine that will last for years to come.

Cooling Electric Fan

A cooling fan system is an essential component of coffee grinders, as it plays a vital role in maintaining performance and preserving coffee quality. Here's why it's important:

  1. Heat Reduction: Coffee grinding creates heat through the friction between the burrs and beans, which can negatively impact the flavor and aroma of the coffee. The dual fan system actively dissipates this heat to prevent the grounds from overheating during grinding.
  2. Consistent Extraction: Heat can affect the extraction process, causing premature release of volatile compounds from hot coffee grounds and leading to uneven extraction. The dual fan system maintains a consistent temperature to ensure balanced flavors in espresso shots.
  3. Shot Time Stability: In busy cafes, consistent shot times are crucial, but heat buildup can cause variations in grind particle size and extraction times. The dual fan cooling system minimizes these fluctuations, allowing baristas to maintain precise shot times even during peak hours.

Historic Spanish Coffee Grinding Company

Compak grinders are meticulously crafted (in Barcelona) with a focus on precision and meticulousness. Every element, from material selection to burr design, is fine-tuned for optimal performance. The company provides a variety of grinder options, such as conical and flat burr models, to accommodate various brewing techniques and tastes.

Product FAQ

Is the Compak I3 Pro On Demand Coffee Grinder suitable for both espresso and filter coffee?

The Compak I3 Pro is designed primarily as an on-demand espresso grinder and excels at fine, repeatable espresso grind settings. It can be adjusted coarser for moka pot or some manual brewing methods, but if your main use is pour-over or batch brew, a dedicated brew grinder will give more consistent results in the medium–coarse range.

Is the Compak I3 Pro a stepless grinder, and how precise is the grind adjustment?

Yes, the Compak I3 Pro uses stepless micrometric adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune the grind with small, incremental changes. This makes it well suited for dialing in espresso shots precisely, though it also means you must keep track of your settings manually since there are no fixed ‘click’ positions.

How often do I need to replace the burrs, and how long do they typically last?

Burr life will vary with use and bean type, but as a guideline, the I3 Pro’s burrs typically last around 250–400 kg (550–880 lb) of coffee before you’ll notice significant dulling for espresso use. In a home setting this can mean many years of use; in a busy café the burrs may need replacement every 6–18 months. If shots start running inconsistently, taste becomes noticeably flat or bitter, or you need to grind much finer than before for the same shot time, it’s usually time to change the burrs.

What type and size of burrs does the Compak I3 Pro On Demand Coffee Grinder use?

The Compak I3 Pro typically uses hardened steel flat burrs (in the 58 mm range, depending on exact sub-model and region). Flat steel burrs are optimized for clarity and consistency in espresso, with relatively low retention compared with many larger commercial grinders.

Is the Compak I3 Pro suitable for home use, or is it better for a café or restaurant?

The I3 Pro is compact enough for serious home espresso bars yet robust enough for light commercial or low-to-medium volume use in cafés, restaurants, or offices. For very high-volume specialty cafés pulling back-to-back shots all day, a higher-capacity grinder may be more appropriate, but the I3 Pro is an excellent fit for prosumer home setups, small coffee bars, and food-service operations with moderate espresso demand.

Will the Compak I3 Pro fit under standard kitchen cabinets?

Standard U.S. kitchen cabinets are typically about 18 inches above the countertop. The I3 Pro stands about 21.1 inches tall with the standard hopper, so it will not fit under most upper cabinets. If cabinet clearance is tight, consider a shorter or 'mini' hopper option if available, or plan for an open counter spot.

Does the Compak I3 Pro offer hands-free grinding and what dosing options does it have?

Yes, the I3 Pro is designed for hands-free operation with a portafilter fork that holds the portafilter in place while grinding. It typically features programmable timed dosing (for single and double shots) and may also allow manual grinding on demand, so you can either rely on repeatable timer-based doses or top up manually as needed.

Is the Compak I3 Pro fast enough to keep up with multiple drinks in a row?

The I3 Pro’s mid-sized burrs and motor are intended to balance grind quality with speed. It can comfortably handle multiple back-to-back espresso shots in a home or light commercial environment, typically grinding a double shot in a few seconds. In a high-volume café with continuous drink lines, a larger, higher-throughput grinder would be faster, but for most smaller bars and home users the I3 Pro’s speed is sufficient.

No, we don't ship to PO boxes. Due to the size and weight of our equipment, we require delivery to a physical address where our carriers can safely drop off your order.

How does free installation work?

We want to make your purchase as smooth as possible and will pay the installation via rebate on commercial espresso machines. This includes commercial machines with more than 1 group head and 220V.

If the certified installer needed is over 1.5 hours away then we will pay for the installation call (and install up to the value suggested on page minus call fee). Travel will be paid by customer. Inquire if you have any questions about your location.


Please note, any discounts subject to void the paid installation offer.

At Coffeeionado, professional installation is included with qualifying espresso machine purchases. Our goal is to make the process as seamless as possible — from coordinating the technician to getting your machine up and running on day one.


Which Machines Qualify

Free professional installation is included with all espresso machines of 2 groups or more where indicated on the product listing. This policy applies to espresso machines only and does not cover other coffee equipment such as grinders, brewers, or accessories.

If you are unsure whether your machine qualifies, contact us before purchasing and we'll confirm.


What's Included

  • Travel and labor costs for installation within the technician's service area (up to 2 hours of travel)
  • Setup, basic programming, and commissioning of the equipment
  • Scheduling during regular business hours, Monday through Friday
  • Associated taxes and fees related to the installation itself

Installation must be completed within 90 days of delivery of the equipment. The installation benefit lapses after this window and cannot be reinstated.


How Installation Is Arranged

Depending on your purchase, installation is handled one of two ways:

Arranged directly — In many cases, Coffeeionado or the manufacturer will coordinate and pay the technician on your behalf. We will contact you after your order is processed to schedule the visit.

Reimbursement — In some cases, you may be asked to arrange the installation locally using an authorized technician and submit a rebate form for reimbursement. Once approved, the covered amount will be refunded to the original payment method used for your order.

We will confirm which arrangement applies to your purchase at the time of order confirmation. If you have questions before purchasing, contact us and we'll walk you through it.


What's Not Included

The following are outside the scope of the installation policy and remain the customer's responsibility:

  • Travel or callout costs beyond the first 2 hours of the technician's travel time — if your location falls outside the local service area, the overage is the customer's responsibility
  • Water filtration systems and installation materials — including plumbing fittings, tubing, plugs, outlets, and any other ancillary components required to prepare the site
  • Electrical or plumbing work — site preparation must be completed before the technician arrives
  • Training on equipment operation — installation covers commissioning only, not barista or operational training
  • False start or callout fees if the technician arrives and the site is not ready for installation

Important: If a technician arrives and cannot complete the installation because the site is unprepared, you will be responsible for any callout or false start fee charged by the technician. However, your installation benefit remains intact — the visit will be rescheduled at no additional cost to your policy.


Water Filtration Requirement

Water filtration must be installed and operational before or at the time of installation. This is not optional — operating a commercial espresso machine without proper filtration will void the manufacturer's warranty. If filtration is not in place at the time of the technician's visit, installation may need to be rescheduled and the callout fee will be the customer's responsibility.

If you need guidance on water filtration requirements for your machine, contact us before scheduling your installation.


Service Area

Installation coverage is tied to the manufacturer's authorized technician service area, generally within a 1.5-hour radius of the nearest certified technician. If the customer's location falls outside this area, Coffeeionado will make reasonable efforts to arrange a local authorized technician, but travel costs beyond the 2-hour coverage limit remain the customer's responsibility.

Not sure if you're in a service area? Contact us before purchasing and we'll check your location.


What to Expect on Install Day

Getting a commercial espresso machine delivered is one thing. Getting it actually running — plumbed, programmed, and pulling properly — is another. Here's what happens when the technician comes out.

Before the appointment: Site preparation will be confirmed before technicians make it out. Once your machine ships, we'll coordinate scheduling with you and assign a local certified technician. Before they arrive, make sure your space is ready: the machine's permanent location should be determined, your water line and drain access should be in place, and your electrical supply should match the machine's requirements. 

On the day The technician will handle the physical installation of the machine — positioning, water line connection, and drain setup. Once it's plumbed and powered, they'll run through the setup and basic programming: boiler pressure, shot parameters, and confirming that water flows correctly through the group heads and steam wands. Some basic training will be provided, they'll pull test shots to verify the machine is operating within spec.


After Installation

Once your machine is installed, we'll provide referrals for authorized service technicians in your area for ongoing maintenance and repairs. Coffeeionado offers lifetime support on all equipment we sell — we're here long after the install is done.


Governing Terms

This installation policy forms part of your agreement with Coffeeionado and is subject to our Terms of Sale and Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict, the Terms of Service governs.

Can I pick up the machine at your store?

We do not have a showroom or storefront for customer pickups, so orders cannot be picked up directly from us. That said, there is an exception for La Spaziale and La Pavoni products, you can contact us to arrange.

However, if you'd prefer, we can arrange to have your machine shipped to a local freight terminal/location for pickup instead. Let us know your city/state (or ZIP code), and we’d be happy to check the nearest terminal options for you.
