About Mazzer
Mazzer has built coffee grinders in Venice, Italy since 1948, when founder Luigi Mazzer began producing grinders and burrs by hand. Three generations later — Luigi, his son Giovanni, and now his grandson — the company still designs, manufactures and assembles every core grinding component in-house. Mazzer grinders now work behind bars in more than 100 countries, and that consistency has made the brand one of the most trusted names in commercial coffee grinding.
The Product
The Mazzer Philos Single Dose Espresso Grinder brings that same precision into Mazzer's single-dose format, pairing a pre-breaking auger with dual-burr flexibility and a magnetic dosing cup. It's built for home coffee enthusiasts who want near-zero retention and full control over exactly how many grams they grind. This is single dosing done the Mazzer way.
Key Features
Auger Pre-Breaker (Even, Clog-Free Feed)
Beans drop from the hopper into an auger that pre-cracks them before they reach the burrs, feeding the burr set evenly and preventing the clogging that single-dose grinders are prone to.
Dual 64mm Flat Burr Sets — I200D & I189D (Choose Your Flavour Profile)
The Philos ships standard with the I200D burr set, known for flavour clarity and bright, fruity acidity. Swap to the I189D for a fuller body and velvety mouthfeel, especially with medium-dark roasts — both sets are available together at an additional cost.
Stepless-to-Stepped Adjustment Ring (Flexible Dial-In)
The rear-mounted ring moves easily between stepless and stepped adjustment, so you can fine-tune by feel or lock onto exact, repeatable settings.
Magnetic Dosing Cup (Clean, Satisfying Dosing)
Ground coffee drops straight into a magnetic dosing cup that seats securely under the chute, keeping grounds contained and your counter clean.
Knocker & Dose Finisher (Near-Zero Retention)
A built-in knocker clears grounds caught in the chute, and the included dose finisher tool clears what's left — so almost nothing carries over between doses.
Compact 36.1cm Height (Fits Under Cabinets)
With its single-dose hopper, the Philos stands just 36.1cm tall, making it one of the few grinders in its class that fits under standard kitchen cupboards.
Who It's Built For
The Philos is built for home espresso drinkers who want commercial-grade grinding without a commercial-sized hopper sitting on the counter. If you switch between origins or roasts often and hate wasting beans to retention, single dosing solves that — and the Philos does it with Mazzer's usual build quality behind it.
Precise, low-waste, and sized for a real kitchen — this is Mazzer for the home connoisseur.
