Mazzer Philos Comments

The Philos grinder has very distinct clicks. However, the scale goes from 0 to 145; so a lot of clicks. I have no idea what it is like to use a grinder with low vision. But my inexpert suggestion would be to use a different tactile decals at the brew settings, and at the center of the espresso
