JammyDodger I canāt explain just how good it is being able to use the same grinder for both espresso and filter and for both to be delicious.
Absolutely.
Just today Iāve enjoyed two perfectly presented fruit-forward V60 cups from Taith and then a chocolatey, full bodied medium roast Kenyan espresso. All clump and static free, minimal exchange and only by twisting an adjustment wheel half a turn.
There arenāt many grinders that even claim to be able to do that, even fewer that actually can.
I think itās important to see the Philos as both the grinder itself, and the I200 burrs that it was designed to run. Those two very good things together is what youāre getting rather than just good burrs or simply a new grinder.
Much like Leica cameras and their associated lenses. Technically the camera body isnāt necessarily groundbreaking, and the lenses can work on other cameras, but itās the two together that really excel and make the package worthwhile.
