Mazzer Philos - Premium Single Dose Coffee Grinder with 64mm Flat Burrs - Black
Mazzer Philos is a premium light commercial single dose flat burr grinder designed to help you get the most out of your coffee. Its elegant design, accurate machining, and superior materials make it the ideal choice for demanding baristas looking for quality in small spaces. It is suitable for all extraction methods, from espresso to batch brew.
The Philos has 2 burr types:
- I189D available for black only
- I200D available for black and silver
What’s the difference?
The design of Mazzer I200D was born with the precise intent to ensure a very narrow and unimodal distribution of the particles: they have long winded continuous sharp teeth which gradually refine the particle to the very end. The top and bottom teeth couple at precise points and the width offered during the path is so that the portioning of particles is gradual and repetitive around the burr. Then minor teeth on the outside convey and refine to the requested dimension. The design of Mazzer I200D is also optimized to shift the noise frequency of the grinding operation towards lower values. The result of a coffee extracted using ground particles from Philos with these burrs is an exceptionally crisp taste with bright and clear separated fruits and florals, a well balanced pleasant acidity and medium body.
Mazzer I189D burrs have the same design as the well-know worldwide appreciated burrs of Mazzer Mini. You can expect a fully bodied cup, syrupy and with mellow taste: the wider particle distribution of these burrs drive to a balanced sweet extraction, with low acidity and high body. These burrs perform best with medium to dark roasted coffees, enhancing chocolate and dried fruit notes for a more traditional Italian espresso cup.
TL:DR
I200D burrs: uniform grind for bright, crisp, floral notes, medium body. (slightly quieter)
I189D burrs: Wider grind distribution for sweet, low acidity, high body chocolatey espresso. (best for dark roasts)

Features
Philos allows you to switch seamlessly from one origin or brewing method to another without wasting coffee and time.
The grinder is designed and tested to avoid retention and contaminations of coffees in the grinding chamber.
The handy dose-finisher collects any ground coffee residue while cleaning the chute. When not in use, it can be stored in its dedicated slot behind the front plate.
- Soft turning adjustment dial, easy to reach from the FRONT. Grasp and turn with one hand all around. Highly visible notches and index from the front and the top, even in dark/ narrow/ short environments.
- Frontal ACCESS to the grinding chamber to clean or change the burrs without tools and WITHOUT LOSING THE GRIND SETTING, as the adjustment dial is located on the back. This position also prevents any unintended collar movement.
- Possibility to SHORTEN THE HEIGHT of the grinder as bean feeding is possible and safe even WITHOUT THE STAINLESS STEEL HOPPER (up to approximately 24 g to the slide). The locking slide always stays on the grinder.
- Controllability of the adjustment movement is secured by the repeatable steps of the dial.
The grinder is designed to lower electrostatic charges in the ground coffee, keeping the counter clean from coffee dust. - Strong neodymium magnets hold the stainless steel dosing cup (which fits 58mm portafilters) and the dose-finisher in place.
- The cable can be shortened and stored inside the grinder to keep the counter neat and tidy.
Philos’ neat design, inspired by the sleek lines of Mazzer ZM, works well on any countertop.
- Philos is compact and takes up little counter space, making it easy to fit into tight spaces.
- The asynchronous motor and precise component machining provide durability over time and high reliability.
- Stiff and sturdy construction and polished mating surfaces grant precision of coupling parts during grinding and during years of use.
- Premium materials like stainless steel, brass and anodized aluminum make the 12.5 kg grinder not only reliable, but also easy to recycle and sustainable.
- Tight tolerances, low frequencies and a vibration-damping system keep the Philos quiet and stable.
- Electronic and mechanic security systems keep the user safe even when the hopper is off.
- The components that come into contact with coffee are food-safe.
- Vertically-oriented flat burrs, a carefully engineered pre-breaker and a geometrically optimized grinding duct control any popcorning effect and ensure that a constant flow of beans feeds the grinding chamber at the correct rate. The long auger (pre-breaker) prevents clogging, regrinding and non-uniformity of the particles.
- Before leaving the factory, each Philos is carefully tested to ensure the perfect parallelism of the burrs.
Easily switch from stepped to stepless mode with a simple procedure.
- Stepped mode: with single-step increments as small as 6 microns, the graduated adjustment ring covers all brewing methods, from espresso to batch brew. This makes grind adjustment a breeze, ensuring repeatibility in your recipes.
- Stepless mode: if you are looking for infinite settings to dial in the perfect shot, Philos can be converted into a stepless grinder.
Pick between two sets of 64mm flat original Mazzer burrs. Both perform well with various brewing methods, such as filter coffee or espresso. They are made with high-quality, food-safe stainless steel to prevent oxidation and moisture damage (even when using RDT). Additionally, they are factory-seasoned to be efficient from day one with no waste of coffee or time.
- I200D (factory-fitted): characterized by a very uniform particle size distribution, these innovative burrs generate low fines and outstanding flavor clarity, enhancing pleasant acidity and fruity notes.
- I189D (factory-fitted upon request): the evolution of the iconic Mazzer Mini burrs, they are the right choice if you seek full-bodied extractions and a rich velvety mouthfeel. Easy to dial-in and great with medium-dark roasts, they are the best pick for traditional Italian espresso.
