MattH yeh apparently its going North 🚀

MattH · 2025-03-28T18:56:12+00:00

Speaking of Mazzer any ideas what they are revealing on the 31st ? - home based mini/major ? Conical philios ?

HHarveyMushman · 2025-03-28T18:56:36+00:00

Do we know how much it’s going up to?

I know I’ll sound obsessed but I would go as far as saying even up at 12-1300 it’s worth it. Still absolutely love using mine and it’s great trying new coffees for both filter and espresso with the I200 burrs.

Changing the subject, has anyone ever had anything machined/turned from metal?

It’s slightly wild but I was considering designing a hopper lid in Solidworks with a little sight glass built in and having it turned in stainless.

I was going to get a wooden one but think the stainless would look great with the rest of the Philos.

I might send a design to a few companies. I found a few that specialise in prototyping and do one-offs. They’ll probably tell me it’ll cost more than the grinder 😅

MattH · 2025-03-28T18:57:00+00:00

Adrianmsmith I assume it will goto £859 plus tax etc as listed on the website before the “discount”

MattH · 2025-03-28T18:58:21+00:00

HarveyMushman I did see that video at LM where they had the 3d printer which did it in metal….. 😂

HarveyMushman would be a great idea with machined hopper but expect it to be quite costly.

I settled for this after few prototypes 🤪

Adrianmsmith · 2025-03-28T19:47:45+00:00

Has anyone had the front fall off yet or is that only on the other, other / US forum and talked about on Reddit ,😳🤪

HHarveyMushman · 2025-03-28T20:10:00+00:00

prezes

Great idea! Hadn’t considered using actual Perspex or similar for the top.

I’ve got a design idea in my head for stainless, I’ll report back when I know how ridiculous the price is.

@Adrianmsmith my front plate is still rock solid. I cleaned it the other day and wasn’t careful and it hasn’t budged.

I’m glad because I’m not a fan of the new version with the nipples 😂

Cuprajake · 2025-03-28T20:12:07+00:00

MattH that didn’t last long

HHarveyMushman · 2025-03-28T20:15:47+00:00

MattH Speaking of Mazzer any ideas what they are revealing on the 31st ?

I may have imagined this but did someone say it would be technically possible fit 83mm burrs inside the Philos?

I wonder if it’ll be an 83mm version with the same externals.

Probably not, but I’ve no better guesses.

MattH · 2025-03-28T20:22:36+00:00

HarveyMushman nipples ?

Iconic compact easy

new hand grinder or small electric ?

But then they say classic silhouette with 30 years of history

Adrianmsmith · 2025-03-28T21:20:55+00:00

HarveyMushman I’m glad because I’m not a fan of the new version with the nipples 😂

Im on the fence but not sure id go so far as to call them nipples 🤪🧐 have definitely seen better nipples if not grinder!!

Adrianmsmith Some girls would be proud of those……..

JJason1wood · 2025-03-28T21:41:11+00:00

dfk41 you’ve been full of testosterone today David. 🤣🤣🤣

Just saw the Mazzer teasers. You might be right with the Mini.

I don’t think they’ve ‘updated’ it like they have with the Super Jolly / Major etc so could be a Mini V Pro, presumably aimed at small coffee shops/carts

Mmkelly789 · 2025-03-29T14:03:59+00:00

HarveyMushman please keep us posted on this hopper idea- it Sounds very interesting and keen on doing something to mod the current set up!

HHarveyMushman · 2025-03-29T18:30:19+00:00

Mocked up a few possible options for the lid.

I think the metal would look great but realistically far more costly than the wood option.

prezes · 2025-03-29T18:41:37+00:00

HarveyMushman they look great! Taking into account what I tried a larger window works better in my opinion.

MattH · 2025-03-30T09:14:12+00:00

Quick question of the day - has anyone tried darker roasts with the i200D burrs ? what was your opinion? I have read a lot on this thread about the 200 burrs with medium/light roasts…

Cheers

Matt

Adrianmsmith · 2025-03-30T09:17:30+00:00

MattH

Yes.

And also the 197 burrs.

I prefer the 200 but im a bit strange i guess!!

Medium and medium dark. Normally for flat white.

Still not used the ssp i have on loan enough to comment!!
