Hi,

Thanks.

MDF is a flat burr grinder. Whether it is NOT suitable for espresso machine?

How about Solis Grinder 167plus?

It is a conical burr grinder.

Whether you meant;

Compak K-3 Touch
http://www.compak.es/en/productos/020202.htm
It is FLAT burr grinder?

I found it here;
Compac K-3 grinder
http://www.coffeeclub.com.hk/grinder_en.htm

Price USD488 (approx)

I can accept its price.

But it is FLAT burr design. Which will be better FLAT or CONICAL burr type?

That website also offer "Rocky SD no dose" which is CONICAL burr type

Thanks

K3 is a better choice since you can afford it.

I chew coffee beans with my teeth while gargling with 195 F water to enjoy coffee. What is this "coffee brewing" device you speak of?
