The conversion to doserless would require the removal of the old dose chamber and considerable thoughts and re-engineering the grinder outlet port and mounting a spout or cone. Work commenced on the project on 2 January 2020 beginning with the complete dismantling of the grinder and cleaning of all components. This grinder will find its new home in Newcastle where its being donated to my sister and Brother-in-law together with my old ECM Giotto to replace their Nescafe capsule machine. The Compak K6 Grinder was donated in 2019 with the prospect of a project to restore the former Siboni’s Coffee shop grinder to a functional doserless grinder. The following words details my recent project journey of converting a Compak K6 Dose Grinder to doserless / grind on demand with a custom designed, programmed and built timer module.
Firstly, a huge thank you goes out to Dean and Rose Kiner, Owners of Siboni’s Coffee in Pymble NSW for their kind and generous donation of the Compak K6 Grinder, for Dean’s invaluable input throughout the build and inspiration to have made this project possible.
