Compak F8 DBW Espresso Grinder

Key Features

• Real-time Dose-By-Weight scale: Weighs the grind as it happens, so baristas don't need to weigh each shot manually.
• Portafilter recognition: Automatically identifies which portafilter is in use and applies the correct dose profile.
• Self-learning software: Auto-adjusts grind output over time to compensate for burr wear and bean variation, keeping dosing consistent.
• 83mm flat burrs: Larger burrs spin slower, reducing heat transfer and protecting flavour.
• Micrometric grind adjustment: Precise, repeatable dialling in via a side-mounted knob and precision ring gear.
• Multilingual digital display: Shot counters, burr wear alerts, and password-protected menu access.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is DBW different from the standard F8?

DBW weighs each dose in real time using an integrated scale, rather than timing the grind — this removes the need for baristas to manually weigh shots and keeps dosing consistent even as burrs wear.

Do I need to weigh shots manually with this grinder?

No, that's the point of DBW. The integrated scale handles it automatically, though you can still spot-check with an external scale if you want.

How many portafilters can it recognise?

Up to 10, each with its own saved dose profile, so switching between single and double baskets doesn't require manual reprogramming.

Does the self-learning software need manual recalibration?

It adjusts automatically over time to compensate for burr wear and bean changes, though an initial calibration is recommended when you first set it up or after a burr change.

How long do the burrs last?

Roughly 800kg of throughput at standard settings before replacement is recommended.
