Evening looks like the Philios is out in the wild (well to someone on youtube !) Looking forward to the review https://youtube.com/shorts/a0Upq7N2v0E?si=O01ykOp7RBmrD5ff

Excitement builds!! Looking at the architecture it looks like someone in the UK too! I have absolutely zero interest in what the influencers think of this one, it’s a day one purchase for me.

@"HarveyMushman"#p60274 yes he is defo in the Uk - i do like his videos! I have not ordered the gbw allground - kinda waiting to see what the philos is like.. tbh nothing wrong with my current allground….. Still cannot see a price officially on the mazzer site - nor of they will have a reseller in the UK rather than a import from Venice.

I might’ve imagined this but I think @"DavecUK"#1 suggested Mazzer will retail this themselves and aim for a sub £1k price point (possibly for early adopters, with a later price rise). I’ve been waiting years for a single-dose, multi-method grinder from a heritage manufacturer that I like the design of. The latter two usually being the reason for me not buying anything yet. Tbh, even if it’s not perfect it’ll be an upgrade on my current setup and like the LM, just nice to own and use.

Looks great. I think I’ve read somewhere it’s between 900-100 euros.

@"Emc2"#p60303 I wish it was a 100 euros 😂

Quick snap from youtube as he has it on the shelf - and gives some nice size comparisons [URL=https://i.imgur.com/c1yDEj3.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/c1yDEj3.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Rumours on HB, so take this with a pinch of salt, are that the Philos has been delayed. Wouldn’t surprise me given the impact global conflicts on supply chains.

Yeah I saw that. Though made me laugh that places took deposits and then refunded especially as I thought that mazzer were selling them direct to start with… but theres no info in the mazzer site either. Just waiting to see the review tbh - anyhow my blind shaker is about to arrive - so something else to play with 😂

Yeah the retailers I've spoken to in the UK said they had no plans to stock it. Looks like it will indeed be Mazzer direct. I can see the reviews being disappointing. There's no shortage of low priced 64mm flats and people who don't care about build quality, place of build and manufacturer heritage are going to say it's overpriced and find plenty of flaws I'm sure. It's an interesting price point because you can get capable single dosers for half the price or less, and it's obviously not going to compete with the top-end grinders like Kafateks etc. I think the only way this will sell well in the current market is if influencers really get behind it. Then again, I don't think Mazzer necessarily need it to sell massively well as the home market still isn't their bread and butter. I'm excited for it and have said before, will be buying it regardless but I don't expect it to be a flawless grinder.

depends really, the build should be better than that of the df and time mores, you would think, but its a saturated market there has been a zerno fs and a kafatec and weber eg1 all around £1500 on the old forum

Mazzer Philos

Not going in to that!!

Dave will most likely tell you 🤓

The key to removing it seems to be RDT thought 😚

MediumRoastSteam

Adrianmsmith sorry I’m not following. I thought you are not getting static with the Philos at all? So why do you need RDT? Or maybe I am not reading your post correctly.

I was just suggesting that, if that was the case, a quick experiment to assert whether the magnetic bracket has any effect on static would be to isolate it. But maybe I’m understanding this wrong….

Adrianmsmith

MediumRoastSteam

Sorry

No static with Philos

No static with Duo

I have issues with grinders that otherwise require RDT.

On a funny note the worst ever was niche zero with monsoon Malabar .

Definately the beans were the issue. Never seen anything like it. Grinder turned brown!!

Never tried monsoon malabar in the key 😎

MediumRoastSteam @Adrianmsmith

Must have missed this part from the videos or skipped it. Jumped onto testing it though and used rubber from the scales. The only thing I noticed is there was less ground stuck to the bottom of the cup (I think). Will test again with next coffee and using two layers of rubber.

Adrianmsmith

prezes

Thanks. I believe the suggestion of grounding was via the magnetic cup positioner attached to the body. I think maybe that part of the bottom plate is actually some kind of plastic but worth checking…..

I guess your rather nice leather cup surround is stopping the cup touching the magnet so if you have not had issues then its another case of duff information🤓

The lack of static is welcome however they achieve it!!

prezes

Adrianmsmith the leather cup surround doesn’t cover the bottom - just the sides as I had to remove them bottom part when using with niche cup .

prezes

On another note it’s a strong magnet as even with two layers of rubber you can still feel it griping.

prezes

It seems to be making a difference to the coffee sticking to the bottom of the cup. This was my only issue with Philos that sometimes you had to tap it to release stuck grounds. This time everything just went in one go.

DavecUK

prezes video grind time seems to be around 21 sec Duo and 17 sec Philos. Which seems about right as iirc Niche states it grinds 1g/s?

Someone told me on here when I asked for the 18g espresso grind time it was 12s, can anyone confirm if it’s 12s or 18s

Adrianmsmith

DavecUK my video above is 21.5g @ 17s

HarveyMushman

@DavecUK

That was me. I was grinding 18g rather than 21.5 and presumably at a coarser setting.

I posted a video somewhere above when I first got it which should show my grind time.

DavecUK

HarveyMushman Thanks, because I don’t think Mazzer give a g/s for espresso grind.

FadedFrontiers

If this static theory is true then it’s nothing to do with the magnet, it’s the process of grounding the metal cup to the earth which can still occur through some insulation. So try with a non-conductive material like a plastic cup to remove any doubt.

It could be any number and combination of factors though!

prezes

Used the dose finisher tool last night after few weeks out of curiosity and got 2.6g out. Seems to be worthwhile occasionally.

InfamousTuba

Finally arrived after some trouble with UPS, it makes the ode look tiny in comparison

HarveyMushman

InfamousTuba

Will be interested to hear your thoughts on how you think it compares to the Ode.

I’m a big fan of the Ode, especially the Gen 2 burrs but I was so impressed with the Philos for pourover the Ode was sold a couple of weeks ago.

FadedFrontiers

InfamousTuba to add to @HarveyMushman ’s question - appreciate you may not want to take it apart immediately but if at some point you decided to try to new Mazzer burrs in the Ode and report back that would be much appreciated.

The review on HB suggested the Mazzer auger would make a big difference to taste and I highly doubt that, but would be interested to hear your take first hand rather than someone theorising about it and not actually doing it!

Adrianmsmith

Definately would look better rotated 90 degrees 😎

Adrianmsmith

HarveyMushman

So you are asking for an ode to an Ode?😜🙃☕

profesor_historia

HarveyMushman I have the Fellow Ode with Gorilla burrs and a Mazzer Super Jolly, at some point I’ll buy separately the I200 Mazzer burrs to try them in the Mazzer and I’ll compare them with the Gorilla .

HarveyMushman

I’m not home right now so can’t make a video but the auger definitely does something.

Whether it’s beneficial to end result is beyond my knowledge of how coffee is ground but I can say this for sure, if you open the gate while beans are in the feed, they’re absolutely smashed to bits by the auger before being fed into the burrs. It’s chaos in there.

I don’t know if this is different to other vertically oriented grinders as I’ve not had a clear enough view of the grind path to see.

MWJB

HarveyMushman I don’t know if this is different to other vertically oriented grinders as I’ve not had a clear enough view of the grind path to see.

I don’t believe it is, unless the auger is a softer material like spring.
