Hello hello

The upgrade dilemma is coming up again. I wanted to upgrade to a Compak E8 last week. After reading more i was ready to buy the Compak F10 conical.
But again after reading more(even tho there are few information's about those grinders) about the F10 grinder i found out that is does have a 15-20g retention :shock: . That put me on hold from buying it , some people say its not that much , some say it is. Having no place where i can see the grinder or test it , i wanted to ask if the retention is as bad as some people say.
I will be using the grinder on demand since i stopped single dosing a while ago. There will be around 6 to 20 cups per day made with the grinder in a home environment.
Should i look maybe at other grinder in that price range ? (budget is up to 2000euro , i can get the Compak F10 with the worm gear at around 1650euro)

Thanks alot !

Yes, it retains a lot. If you do a total clean up, then put 15g beans, almost nothing to see.
My suggestion is Mazzer Kony electronic.
