I don't have any. I'm not even sure they would fit in a standard 64mm mount

Mazzer Philos Comments
II haven't compared the Philos to the P64 or Zerno, since I have neither. This is a definite and huge missng piece in the review. It will be remedied when Dan and I send our review grinders to the next round of reviewers

As I said in the review; I was able to pick them out in blind tests versus the Fuji 220, and preferred them (sweeter, about hte same clarity). The difference was slight; but hte Fujo is a major league brew grinder that has been used by several world brew champions. However, you can count me as an ex...

7g VST/LM Single Shot Basket Tips
Hope you're enjoying yourself. I go with 15 grams (2:1 ratio) out unless the roast is very light. I'm less worried about shot time than making sure the stream is really transparent by the time I get to 15 grams -- I want maximal extraction

I characterize it as syrupy rather than creamy. The whole experience is a bit like drinking an orangina, that pulpy, syrupy, super sweet Italian (or is it French?) soft drink, if it were toasted and had roasty flavors too. More quantitatively, it is lighter bodied than a conical for espresso, but th...

Mazzer Philos Grinder Review
A short final post on changing burrs and resetting the grinder's zero point. I swapped in the SSP MP burrs into the grinder: {image} and want to report on some of the things that came up. First off, when I tested the MP burrs in the Jolly, I hated them -- thin bodied, no sweetness, and diminished ro...

Maybe my statement was too general. But the P64 has an augur-like cap on the rotating burr. It may improve the performance. {image}

Since there is an augur and the shutter is closed (see below), popcorning is not an issue. Like all single dose grinders, it grinds slower for single dose than if you load it up (say for seasoning a burr). But the speed differences between fine and coarse grinds, or loaded up and single dose, are no...

The genetic history of modern coffee cultivars
Wow! Thanks. This is much better than the articles I've seen previously. The picture you reprint shows how most of the genetic diversity of Arabica lies in Ethiopian varietals. That we knew; but the rest of the article traces the lineages of each of those varietals back to the orginal Canephora/Euge...

Moving to a flat burr grinder from Sette: what's the best option available in EU right now?
Make a checklist for yourself. 1) are you dong sngle dosing or on demand grinding? 2) Are you using the grinder for espresso and low acid roasts only, or are you going with more acidic roasts and other kinds of brewing. The good news is that 64mm grinders are good for all these options; but you want...
