Option-O 98mm Mizen Burrs - User Experience
No 102 experience but lots of info on the forum about 98 mizen. It's outstanding. It has body, very nice tempering of acidity for light roasts and still really good flavor separation. I can get floral bomb espressos. It's not blended in style but more so than A 98 HU ssp would be- which

Making the last Pharos [VIDEO]
Still have my original Pharos and early Lido 2. Just travelled with the latter and enjoyed using it just as much as I did ten years ago when I first got it. I have fond thoughts of D and B and the passion they helped stoke in my coffee hobby. Cheers!
