Compak PK100: 98mm single-dose grinding for espresso, filter, and cupping
The Compak PK100 is a commercial multipurpose grinder built for coffee professionals who want one platform capable of espresso, pour-over, batch-brew preparation, cupping, and bag grinding. Its 98mm flat burrs, low 900-rpm operating speed, and single-dose workflow are designed to produce broad grind-size capability with low retention and controlled heat.
This is not a small home grinder. The PK100 is a heavy-duty laboratory and specialty-coffee tool suited to roasters, training labs, competition bars, and cafés that need to switch coffees and brew methods without dedicating a hopper to each bean.
Key features
- 98mm high-extraction flat burrs
- Single-dose cupping system
- Stepless grind adjustment across multiple brew methods
- Low-retention grinding path
- 900-rpm operating speed
- 500W motor
- Dual ventilation with an active cooling fan
- Clump-crushing system to reduce static and improve distribution
- Clip-on bag holder for retail and bulk workflows
Grind quality and workflow
The large burr surface and low working speed support rapid grinding while limiting unnecessary heat. A stepless adjustment system gives the operator fine control at espresso settings and a wide path toward coarser filter ranges. Single dosing reduces stale coffee in the chamber and makes the PK100 practical for comparing coffees, changing origins, and running a cupping lab.
Best use case
Choose the PK100 for a roastery, coffee lab, competition program, multi-method specialty café, or high-end brewing bar. It is especially valuable when flavor clarity, repeatable particle distribution, and fast coffee changes matter more than automated portafilter dosing.

How this Compak grinder compares
The PK100 is more versatile than Compak's E-series espresso grinders and uses larger burrs than the E8 or Bolt 83. Choose an E6, E8, or E10 when direct-to-portafilter dosing is the priority; choose an R8 or R120 when bulk bag grinding is the primary job.

Can the Compak PK100 grind for espresso and filter coffee?
Yes. Its adjustment range and 98mm burr system are intended for multiple brewing methods.
Is the PK100 suitable for home use?

Why does low rpm matter?
Lower burr speed can help control heat and supports the grinder's emphasis on consistent specialty-coffee grinding.

Compak PK100 Single Dose FAQs
Who is the Compak PK100 Single Dose best suited for?
It is best suited for cafés, mobile coffee businesses and other commercial operators whose priorities match the specifications and workflow described above. Buyers with substantially different volume or installation needs should compare the related category before ordering.
How should I dial in the Compak PK100 Single Dose?
Start with the burrs clean and the grinder empty, make small adjustment changes, and judge the result by shot time, taste and repeatability. Purge only what is needed after a meaningful adjustment.
What should I compare before choosing this grinder?
Compare burr format, adjustment style, dosing workflow, retention, speed and the range of brew methods you expect to use most often.
What maintenance should be planned?
Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning schedule, use suitable water where applicable, keep the work area clean and replace normal wear components when performance changes.
Where can I get help choosing or setting up this model?
Espresso Outlet can help compare equipment, review application fit and explain the support and warranty terms that apply to this listing.
PK100 brewing range and single-dose workflow
The PK100 uses 98 mm blind flat burrs and a micrometric range extending from very fine coffee through French press. It is especially relevant to roasteries, labs and cafés that change coffees frequently and need one grinder for cupping, filter and espresso development.
Why are blind burrs useful?
The screw holes do not interrupt the cutting face, increasing usable area and reducing collection points for grounds.
Can it replace a café’s primary espresso grinder?
It can grind espresso quickly, but a hopper-fed model such as the E8 OD may provide a faster repeated-dose workflow for one house coffee.
PK100 or R8 Eco?
Choose the R8 Eco for hopper-fed retail bags. Choose PK100 for low-retention changes and measured input doses.
For much larger production batches, compare the R120 Eco or browse all commercial grinders.
