Best praise vs top criticism for Mazzer Philos
“You are making the common beginner mistake of falling in love with a machine, while your first priority should be to choose the best grinder you can afford. While Libra is a good mid-range grinder, an end-game machine like the Micra should be paired with an end game grinder. I would much prefer a Profitec Move (which is much more feature rich than the Micra) with a Mazzer Philos, Zerno Z1/Z2, Lagom P80, Weber EG-1, or Kafatek Flat Max or SDRM to a Micra with a Libra.”
“If going the single dosing route, I cannot recommend the Mazzer Philos enough. It’s a tank, handmade in Venice, available now, and it looks beautiful next to my LM Mini R.”
