I've been using the Mazzer Philos (Silver - i189D) for a little while now, and I absolutely love it. From the moment you unbox it, the build quality stands out—solid, simple, and robust in the best possible way. It looks fantastic on the counter, with a clean, industrial design that feels purposeful and premium.
Performance-wise, it delivers exactly what you'd expect from a Mazzer: consistency and clarity. The selected flat burrs truly make a difference—you can feel it in the body and texture of the espresso. There’s more depth, more structure, and an overall better expression of the beans I’m using.
I also really appreciate that it's made in Venice. There’s a sense of heritage and craftsmanship behind it that adds to the experience. All in all, the Philos feels like a grinder built for serious home baristas and professionals alike. Highly recommended.
