MMKP (mill) / MMKU (hand crank) /KPBT (metal funnel)
After the MattMill Klassik was a significant success within the german brewing community, in 2012 Matthias Hossfeld introduced the MattMill Kompakt, the most recent development. It became a best-seller in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
The main characteristics of MattMill Kompakt include
- hardened and cut-knurled steel rollers with a diameter of 70 mm, keeping most of the husks intact during the grain crushing process. This is optimal for a perfect lautering
- massive housing consisting of aluminum and high-grade steel
- stepless gap adjustment between 0 and 2 mm
- easy tabletop mounting
- driven either by 6mm bit (e.g. battery-powered screwdriver) or optional hand crank (sold separately, MMKU)
- typical milling capacity 3 kg/min (screwdriver) and 1-2 kg/min (hand crank, depending on fitness), respectively (approx. 11 grams/turn).
- quick reply/service directly by the manufacturer in case of difficulties
- threaded hole serves as mounting aid for a 1.5l standard PET bottle (as grain reservoir)
MattMill Kompakt comes readily packed in a box, ready to sell and send. (There is no funnel included, the idea is to use a big plastic funnel or a bottom-cut PET bottle).Weight approx. 5 kg. Size 21x16x9 cm.
For tabletop mounting regular screw clamps can be used (not included).
Manuals can be downloaded from here.
