Compak F8

£1,735.00 – £2,410.00 + VAT, if any

Power with precision.

With a 630 W motor, the F8 is well suited to busy coffee shops. It turns the 83 mm burrs at 1310 rpm to minimise heat and maximise flavour. Easily adjust and control the grind size, dose and settings with Compak’s side dial, 3 pre-set doses and and a touchscreen display. The new version also features lock-in-load for easy access to the grinding chamber for cleaning and burr replacement.

Set the dose by setting the grind time with the on demand version, or opt for dose by weight to boost barista efficiency. Both versions can also be switched into manual mode and both versions can be delivered with Red Speed burrs.

Shipping & Installation

Shipping

United Baristas Equipment Store can ship to UK physical addresses. Free shipping is available on most products over £200, some exclusions apply. Some shipping surcharges apply for bulky and oversize items to remote regions. Shipping costs are displayed at checkout.

Dispatch

In stock products

In stock items are typically dispatched within two working days of payment clearance. We endeavour to keep the most popular products and variations in stock.

Product options and customisation

Products that require bespoke assembly, customisation or manufacture have longer lead times. It’s best to order these items well in-advance as it is easier for us to store these items in the UK warehouse than it is to speed up customisation work or manufacturing.

Product options and customisation are typically completed within 5 – 50 working days of payment clearance depending on the complexity of the work and the availability of parts. If your item is being assembled or painted by the manufacturer, the factory lead-times apply.

Factory order items

Items that are either bespoke manufactured or not always stocked in the UK warehouse are categorised as factory order items. These products are typically dispatched from the UK warehouse within 10 – 50 working days of payment clearance. Lead times vary by manufacturer, an overview is available here. We will contact you with an expected dispatch date when you’re item is en route to the UK warehouse.

Tracking or delivery information is provided at the time of dispatch.

Delivery

Bulky and heavy items are delivered palletised with a kerb side delivery service. Make sure you have the ability to move bulky and heavy items from the lorry into your premises.

Installation

United Baristas can install select items. Select the installation option at checkout to book this service.

Most products have installation requirements for electrical supply, water and waste. Installers are not able to perform plumbing or electrical work other than connecting the item. You can view the requirements on the product’s information page.

If you opt for installation, we will be in touch to arrange a pre-installation check. Assuming everything is ready, we will then be able to confirm an installation date. In many cases, the installer will bring the item with them to install.

Care & Maintenance

Cleaning

All grinders should be regularly cleaned to prevent build-up of grounds in the burrs and chamber. This is typically done in-house as part of the shutdown procedure. Cleaning your grinder both improves the quality of your coffee and helps prevent wear.

Product Information

Specific care and maintenance information is available for this product. To view videos and documentation, follow the product link on the Product Information tab.

Maintenance & Service

With use the burrs eventually lose their sharp edge becoming blunt. Replacement burrs are readily available and can be installed in-house by someone with moderate training or an engineer as part of a service visit.
