Mazzer Philos | A Classic Italian Gone Modern
Mazzer has a storied history of robust, commercial cafe grinders, but with the new Philos they are finally dipping their toes into the modern trends of 64mm flat burr, single-doses. So the question is, can all of their grinder experience translate? Let's find out.

    This definitely seems like a good grinder to upgrade from the DF64 possibly, It has a nice work flow and some smart design choices. I don’t need variable rpm but being able to grind for all brew types in 1 grinder with a nice large dial is nice. The looks are interesting but I am also someone with a niche zero. As long as it does its job well, I don’t mind the design. I do appreciate the nice materials though. $1k is a great price point for this grinder.

    Variable rpm is not only a thing that no one really understands in general (because it can work out in many ways, depending on the bean) But more electronics could also mean more liabilities. I would always go for fixed rpm. FWIW, do I really need ANOTHER variable? Grindsize, Burr choice, Beans (and their age), Temperature, Pressure (and profiling of these), Preinfusion, Ratio and so on... I just think the philos is a tad big- and I am not completely sure if this is necessary. But I like the looks in general- But next to a strietman it might be too mighty

    Very nice video! Been rocking the Philos for a month now, and really liking it so far. Like mentioned in your video, I really enjoy the fuss free simplicity and tank like build quality. And the cup results I have been getting with it (paired with a Decent) are amazing. Although it’s clearly clarity focused (i200 burr set), I do feel the burr set is also not lacking as some other burrs on the body department (and are also easier to dial). Another thing I have noticed is that extractions can be pushed about 1 to 2% further from my other grinders (Eureka Oro SD, Pietro, C40, Timemore) without cup loosing its balance and bitter astringency taking over. Overall, I find it to be amazing value. Only nit pick on my end would be static. May add an aftermarket ioniser at some point but definitely not a deal breaker. Interested to hear your comments and experience about burr swapping (notably with regards to alignment).

    Thanks for a very nicely-done review. Like the new studio look. A lot of work with very worthwhile results! I have to ask: In your nice graphic at the 9 1/2 minute mark, what constitutes the value "ratio?" Putting the grind adjustment at the rear, away from all the messy bits, makes great engineering sense for this design style. I read somewhere that adjusting the grind setting with the motor running is a lot easier than adjusting with the motor off.

    From my understanding Mazzer made this out of mostly non-static materials. This reduces overall static and therefore there seems to be no need for an ionizer. What is your conlcusion from testing? If I am to spend 1k euros on a grinder it needs to remove RDT from my workflow.

    • @Sprometheus
      @Sprometheus 19 часов назад

      Yeah this is true. There isn’t no static, but I’d say it’s relatively low. But you will need to use the knocker and you’ll likely be surprised by the amount of grinds the “shot finisher” can pull out after a bag of coffee goes through. Regardless, .1 grams without RDT and it evens out with the knocker so you can kick the bottle habit if you want.

Sure, it could be more svelte or have bigger burrs, but it’s super solid at a reasonable price, so it has a nice balance. The auger/prebreaker is an important feature for me.

It just seems like a weird choice that is going to cost more sales than it gains. My biggest gripe with my current grinder is static which necessitates RDT, and I hate RDT, so it's a shame (for my personal preferences) that Mazzer didn't put in an ioniser. Static wasn't covered much in this review. I would pay $$$ for a grinder that banished static-related mess.

I don’t think there’s a right or wrong way, but I don’t think the issues I discussed will be fixed but purely just the orientation of the grinder body. This also means you still have lean over the grinder if you’re shorter to see where it’s set since the adjustment setting is on the top of the body.

      Thanks you! And on the release date, I think last I heard late summer, early fall. And I think you could get similar performance with the 83V but there are more possible failure points, and the burrs are so much more expensive. I personally love the 64 size purely for the huge array of options and not crazy expensive.

    My biggest issue would be the lack of anti-static, but that isn't necessarily a deal breaker. IMHO, it looks good--definitely better than the DF grinders.

      It has anti static, by careful control of materials and earthing the grind cup. I have no issues with static on the philos

      Yep, as I mentioned the knocker evens things out. RDT at this point is more for its other advantages vs static removal.

      Oh yeah, I love the Seattle coffee scene such a wide array of options. Personally, Anchorhead is one of my more modern favs, Push X Pull, Elm, Olympia, and many many more. But for that classic old school espresso, and a place that is credited for the popularity of latte art Espresso Vivace is a must.

      I asked about this way back in February with the Prototype and completely forgot to share the response direct from Luigi… “I have asked our team about tightening torque for butterfly screws and parallelism in the body of the grinder. Essentially, both mating surfaces of the 2 parts of Philos body are CNC machined, then they are controlled separately and in relation to the respective burrs. The centering of the assembly is granted by the metal plugs on the back assembly. The fixation is explicitly designed to be done by hand and a change in the torque applied by hands on such flat and parallel coupled surfaces is not making any significant difference on the final parallelism of the 2 burrs.”

      @@Sprometheus ahhh so it WAS your video I remembered this comment from. Well, glad you covered this :). The grinder looks great to be honest, and a good option for those of us that can get the Zerno (Europe, etc) without importing it. Thanks, man Now I need to contemplate if this is worth moving from the df64v with SSP. the weight puts me off a bit, and it's bulkiness

      Thanks Brandon, I appreciate that. It was a lot of work. You can’t tell from that angle but I painted the entire room matte black from white, still a work in progress though as I think I still need to put up more sound dampening and work a bit more on the layout.

    This grinder is a definite upgrade step from my DF64E. The quality, consistency and prebreakers with a reasonable price makes it a worthwhile choice. I love no bellows and the antistatic is an over rated feature. I have a cheap plug in ionizer. The blind burrs would be expensive and limit currently available burr options.

    • @Sprometheus
      @Sprometheus 19 часов назад

      Absolutely a step up from any of the DF models I’ve used thus far, including the 83V which I don’t love looks wise. I also don’t like bellows, and I agree that blind burrs are so new and would require them to literally design and make their own which would only add to lead time and cost in the long run
