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

dfk41 Mythoses (someone correct me …)

Correct!

DavecUK Probably the most correct form would be

I used to have several (dozen) Mythoses’s

or

I used to have several (dozen) Mythos’s

Not correct. An apostrophe indicates the possessive, not the plural. Unless you are a greengrocer. :-)

The decaf for some reason seems to want to find its way in to and compact / stay in every inside corner of every “blade” of each burr . Its almost like moulding sand, but doesn’t seem to have a higher moisture content.

The burrs seemed to stay much cleaner with standard medium beans.

DavecUK

dfk41 Only one problem, Mythos is a proper noun.

Right come on Philos, really need these 189D released

Adrianmsmith

Jony

They are released, we jst cant buy them !!

Mazzer dont want to sell them in the UK.

Wont let me but 2 sets . 1 set is below minimum order value.

Cuprajake

all hail brexit.

Jony

shall we not do a bulk order I am up for it.

Adrianmsmith

Jony Just had a mail from mazzer. They have lifted the 1 set order limit , once thet come back in to stock!!

Adrianmsmith

MattH

That still didn’t get over the minimum , but, if you still need one maybe when the burrs are back in stock , if @Jony needs burrs as well we can get an order together. Allegedly they will allow 2 burr sets for the Philosses(🫣) to be ordered once back in stock 💪🏼🤞🏻🤞🏻

MattH

I am still contemplating getting a Philios…. so if I do I will let you all know in case anyone wants to add on to the order :)

Adrianmsmith

MattH

I see at the moment, Also, you can only order the philos with the 200 burrs . not available with 189 burrs. So they must be really out of stock!!

HarveyMushman

I don’t have anything valuable to add other than I’m still really enjoying mine and haven’t had any issues at all switching between various filter and espresso beans.

The biggest issue with it is that it’s so easy to try different coffees that I’m spending an absolute packet on beans. Coming from on-demand grinding it’s still a novelty.

dfk41

What does the Philos actually costs now if bought in the UK please?

Adrianmsmith

dfk41

Just under 900 landed

dfk41

Adrianmsmith So the price has not altered at all then? I think it is £717 with free delivery but then vat and any import duties

Adrianmsmith

dfk41

Just looking now it may have actually come down a bit, depending on exact rate maybe as low as £865

They’re still holding the introductory price….. and just about ready for launching in the US

Adrianmsmith

dfk41 its still billed in euro . The £ price is their converted price so not exact.

Forget my original reply (€995) thats in europe with tax😎
