mazzer's home grinder that grinds like a café machine
the philos is mazzer's answer to what a serious home espresso grinder should be. vertically oriented 64mm flat burrs keep retention as low as 0.1g, and the choice between i200d and i189d burr sets lets you dial in lighter or darker roasts differently. it grinds 16g in about 10 to 12 seconds, runs at 1,600 rpm on 60hz power, and weighs 12.5kg. the footprint is significant and the 60g hopper is small, but the grind quality and near-zero retention are hard to argue with at home.
what it does well
- retention as low as 0.1g thanks to vertical burr orientation
- two burr options, i200d for lighter roasts and i189d for darker ones
- durable metal build with food-safe coffee-contact parts
- stepped and stepless grind adjustment
where it stops short
- 60g hopper is small for a grinder at this price
- large countertop footprint at 153 x 351 x 361mm
- performs better for espresso than filter brewing
