Mazzer Philos Comments

The old Cimbali/DRM comes in two sizes: 68 and 63.5mm - I was able to fit the latter in a Mazzer, but just barely as the screw holes are not identical. Obviously I haven't been able to compare them to Mazzer's i200d, but I do think there's some unusual sweetness about those Cimbali/DRM burrs in the best scenario. Soft

Enrico Cappuccino Amore CE-14 Revisited

That Ceccarelli site is unbelievable - what a passion this guy has. The pictures will be super helpful. People seem to be split on the Cappuccino Amore CE-14, but I'll take my chances.
