Yeah I saw that. Maybe Iām just wired differently but Iām just not the type to inspect a new thing I buy down to the nth detail and complain if itās not absolutely millimetre perfect.
At the risk of sounding spiritual, thereās a wonderful peace of mind to be found when you let stuff like this go. Itās designed to be used, not looked at.
I get it if itās quite clearly flawed or damaged to the point itās easily noticeable but I saw the original complaint and agree with @Adrianmsmith.
That said, I do agree with some of the observations. There are parts of the Philos that feel cheaper, but I get the impression itās to keep costs down due to the smaller scale of production. To manufacture this in Italy as a new product, entirely from machined metal wouldāve presumably been huge money. The bits that matter are very heavy and very solid.
Also given the comments about the Zerno we saw from Hoffman, Iām not sure if the (apparently very popular) idea itās far better is accurate.
