Mazzer Philos Video Series: From Vision to Daily Ritual

Every great coffee tool starts with a question: How do we honour the bean without wasting a gram?

That question led to the creation of the Mazzer Philos, a compact, single-dose grinder built for baristas who care deeply about precision, sustainability, and flavour.

Where it all began: Before Philos ever touched a coffee bar, it lived on engineers’ desks, in sketches, and in long discussions at Mazzer headquarters. The goal was simple but demanding: create a grinder that delivers absolute control, without compromise.

Making every gram count: When coffee is rare and expensive, mistakes hurt. Philos was designed for moments like these, when dialing in isn’t about speed, but respect for the coffee. With single dosing and zero retention, every adjustment matters.

From box to bar: Philos arrives carefully packed, because quality doesn’t start at first grind, it starts at unboxing. Everything inside is intentional, protected, and ready to work the moment it reaches your counter.

Caring for precision: burrs, calibration, and cleanliness

Philos is engineered for accuracy, but precision only stays sharp when it’s properly maintained. This is where routine care becomes part of the craft, not a chore, but a habit that protects flavour, consistency, and longevity.

• Burr changes: resetting performance

Over time, even the best burrs wear down. Replacing them restores grind consistency and brings clarity back into the cup. Before installing new burrs, the grinder must be thoroughly cleaned, any remaining coffee oils or grounds can interfere with alignment and performance.

Once the new burrs are in place, calibration is essential. This ensures the burrs are correctly aligned and that your grind settings remain accurate from the very first dose.

• Calibration: finding true zero

Calibration is where precision is locked in. With the grinder powered off and the grinding chamber completely free of coffee residue, the zero calibration process establishes the exact point where the burrs meet. This step ensures that every grind adjustment moving forward is reliable, repeatable, and true to scale.

Skipping calibration can lead to inconsistent results, even with new burrs, so this step is just as important as the replacement itself.

• Cleaning: protecting flavour, day after day
  

Coffee leaves behind oils and fine particles that build up gradually. Regular cleaning prevents old grounds from dulling flavours, contaminating fresh coffee, or affecting grind consistency. It also reduces strain on internal components, helping Philos perform at its best for years to come.

Choose Your Coffee Profile: I200D vs I189D Burrs

One of the most compelling reasons to choose Mazzer Grinders is the ability to tailor your flavour profile. The Philos features vertically-oriented 64mm flat burrs that are factory-seasoned for peak efficiency from day one.

I200D: For the Flavour Seekers (Standard)

These innovative burrs are engineered for light to medium roasts. They produce an exceptionally narrow particle distribution, resulting in:

• Outstanding Clarity: Perfect for highlighting bright, fruity, and floral notes.

• Balanced Acidity: Delivers a crisp taste and a medium body.

• Best Use: Ideal for specialty filter coffee and modern espresso shots.

I189D: For the Traditionalists (On Request)

An evolution of the legendary Mazzer Mini burrs, the I189D is your gateway to a classic Italian experience.

• Rich Mouthfeel: Produces a full-bodied, syrupy cup with a velvety texture.

• Mellow Sweetness: Enhances notes of chocolate and dried fruits.

• Best Use: Recommended for medium-dark roasts and traditional Italian espresso.

Master the Zero Retention Workflow

The Mazzer Philos is meticulously designed to prevent ground coffee retention, ensuring you get exactly what you put in, every time.

How to achieve the lowest retention:

1. Grind: Dose your beans directly into the magnetic stainless steel canister.

2. Knock: Pull and release the chute knocker multiple times to clear any loose grounds.

3. Finish: While the motor is running, insert the dose-finisher into the chute and rotate it to sweep away the final remains.

4. Store: Neatly tuck the dose-finisher back into its magnetic slot behind the front plate.

Whether you are pulling syrupy espresso or brewing a delicate pour-over, the Mazzer Philos offers the precision, consistency, and versatility required to make every cup your best yet.
