Compak i3 Pro: 58mm flat-burr on-demand espresso grinding
The Compak i3 Pro is an on-demand espresso grinder built for users who want commercial flat burrs, stepless adjustment, and programmable dosing in a durable, streamlined platform. Its 58mm burr set delivers the control required for non-pressurized espresso baskets and daily café dialing in.
Fresh coffee is ground directly into the portafilter rather than held in a doser. This supports a cleaner workflow, reduces the amount of ground coffee waiting between drinks, and makes it easier to manage dose consistency during service.
Key features
- 58mm flat burrs
- Stepless micrometric grind adjustment
- On-demand direct-to-portafilter grinding
- Programmable electronic dosing
- Hands-free portafilter fork
- Commercial motor designed to manage heat
- Durable construction for repeat service
- Compact alternative to larger E-series grinders
Grind quality and workflow
Flat burrs promote even particle distribution and an espresso profile with a useful balance of clarity and body. The stepless adjustment system provides the fine movements needed to correct flow rate. Timed dosing helps repeat a recipe, while manual activation lets the barista purge or top off when required.
Best use case
The i3 Pro suits serious home espresso setups, offices, restaurants, coffee carts, and low-volume cafés. It is also a smart secondary grinder for decaf or a rotating espresso in a busier shop.

How this Compak grinder compares
The i3 Pro sits below the E6 in burr size and sustained output. Choose the i3 Pro Mini when counter space is the overriding concern, the E6 for a faster 64mm platform, or the E8/Bolt 83 for substantially heavier commercial demand.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Compak i3 Pro doserless?
Yes. It grinds on demand directly into the portafilter.
Can I make very small grind adjustments?
Yes. The stepless micrometric system is intended for precise espresso dialing in.
