My Pharos arrived on Friday morning. It’s a very impressive product. Even unboxing it was a joy. The Grinder itself looks like, and probably is a prototype. Getting the beans in is easy getting grinds out is not. But the most important thing is the improvement over my Mazzer. It’s huge, noticeable even in a Cappa or the Aerobie. It is a far greater difference than when I upgraded from a Rocky to the Mazzer. In fact the difference is so big that I strongly suspect that I need new burrs in the Mazzer. The grinds from the Pharos feel like fine sand or sugar wheareas the grinds from the Mazzer feel like flour. However in the Espresso machine both give a pour of around 25 sec.
Yes its messy, yes its slow but if Steve Jobs were to have produced a coffee grinder, I’m pretty sure he would have come up with something like the Pharos.
