I've only heard positive things about this grinder, but have no personal experience. I've heard it is quite loud, but also very fast. Please let us know if you learn more about it or get one.

I decided I needed a bit of a change so I roasted some Monsooned Malabar. That was a change!

I have just bought one and am waiting for it to arrive. I like the Eureka brand and this one seems to be packed with interesting things, such as titanium blades, a built in pressurised tamper, conical burrs.......and more! Will keep you posted once it is here and I have sussed it out

It arrived today. What a beast! I gave it a quick clean, ran some grindz through, then some old beans then away we went. The first serious shot was with a Brazilian bean. The grind is really quick, at around 5 seconds for 16 gms. The quality of the grind is spot on. I will take some photos over the next couple of days as I learn a bit more about her. The notes that came out of the first shot were amazing. I am no good at trying to describe them as I am new to drinking espresso, preferring milk based drinks. I initially, cannot understand why these are not better thought or head of. I noticed the Mexican Barrista in last years WBC using one

1400rpm flat titanium burrs right? Are they the same as the Anfim titanium. The anfim turns way slower.

Did you buy it from Algies?

Yep, big flats. How much is it, it wants to beat the Major E by some margin I reckon

There are three models of Mythos. The better two are the Barrista and he Plus but thy have a different motor and rpm to the basic one. I have all the specs but not in front of me. I will confirm the rpm and power soon. The Mythos is around £2000 new
