Mazzer Philos

prezes

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

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

Adrianmsmith

Definately would look better rotated 90 degrees 😎

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.

HarveyMushman

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

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!

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.

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

HarveyMushman

This video shows it fairly well at 12:25. It’s definitely pretty violent in there.

Adrianmsmith

I’m possibly going back to “stepped”

no issue as such with stepless, except, the slightest creep in setting. were talking half a unit after maybe 6 or so x 21.5g grinds.

Nothing to complain about, just to keep an eye on…..

certainly you cant see it move (I think it knows when you are looking!)

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 .

Adrianmsmith

Interesting …… from our mate Tom!!

Dusk

What does he say? For the people who CBA to watch

Dusk

In that respect, nothing new as its an interview on the mazzer stand with Luigi Mazzer, at MICE 2024 Melbourne.

Still, i found it interesting!! Not a review in any way…..

Having said that, watching youtube for the last 3 weeks as i have even JH is somewhat interesting, and ive tried some beatboxing without success!!!

Wont they take ages to grind, and the only reason it works on the Philos is due to the pre breaker / auger?

HarveyMushman

Did he say ‘you could put two days worth of beans in the hopper’?

Not sure that’s the idea surely? I figured it was more of a small funnel and the only reason for its size is presumably for grinding a 4 cup batch brew or something.

The gate mechanism sort of negates using it as an on-demand grinder.

Either way, nice to see Tom P again and will be interesting to hear his thoughts when the grinder lands in Australia.

It doubt it, in my experience the SSP MPs (which these share a similar, aggressive geometry with) are faster than the traditional mazzer espresso burrs.

The auger could even slow down the feed rate, so it might taste different with or without one. Either way I’d be very surprised if it took ages to grind without one.

Adrianmsmith

what i found interesting was the section talking about “static” where Luigi confirms materials and earthing are used instead of ion generator. see video 8:20

@prezes @HarveyMushman ive not had time to investigate yet , if not letting it earth makes a difference. still only very slight signs of any static though.

InfamousTuba

There was a lot more static when I ground it into a paper cup this morning. But I was also grinding a 90g dose for batch brew
