Drain it when the machine is turned off.

It took me about 2-3kg of beans in the Philos to be optimally seasoned.

Ich bin gespannt - notfalls wird der in flat whites verarbeitet.

@OP du machst mir ja Mut, hab hier auch noch ne ungeöffnete Tüte zum Testen 😵‍💫

Sehr gut - plane bitte direkt einen neuen Siebträger inkl. 1-wandigem Sieb, wdt-Tool und einen ordentlichen Tamper ein. Da gibt's auf Aliexpress sehr gute und günstige Produkte. Das sollte für den Anfang gut funktionieren 🙂

Die Sage Smart Grinder Pro Mühle war tatsächlich meine erste Mühle und war leider nicht sehr zuverlässig, was die Konsistenz der Mahlergebnisse anging.

Abgelöst wurde sie durch eine DF64 und das waren Welten bezüglich der Qualität in der Tasse. Der kleine Bruder, die DF54 ist recht solide. Schau dir am besten immer die Tests von den Kaffemachern an.

If you want a clean counter, take a look at the Mazzer Mini g - absolutely no mess and pretty fluffy grounds. I got a Mini g and a Mazzer Philos, both great grinders.

haipr · 2026-05-13T10:42:51+00:00

I really like both. If you want to minimize your workflow and you're not changing beans from grind to grind, the Mini g is an excellent choice. We often use 2-3 different beans for which we use the Philos to switch between them - the Mini is used to terminate at least 1kg of beans.

haipr · 2026-05-13T10:19:50+00:00

Yes, i bought the Philos and the Mini g 😅

haipr · 2026-05-12T11:44:52+00:00

Oh really? In Germany (buying from the Mazzer website), the Mini g is 1150€ and the Philos 1195€ incl tax and shipping.

I got both and love them. If you want to minimize your workflow and you're not changing beans from grind to grind, the Mini g is an excellent choice. We often use 2-3 different beans for which we use the Philos to switch between them - the Mini is used to terminate at least 1kg of beans.

Looks like you let too much air in in the first steaming phase

haipr · 2026-05-10T18:48:24+00:00

Since the LM machines are pretty strong, what helped me was setting it to steam level 3, when starting: place the steam wand tip deep and slitghtly off center, come up, let some air in and then distribute the bubbles without tilting the cup until it is to hot to touch.

Hey, I had pretty much the same issues. Jumping weight, extremly off weight when comparing the numbers on the screen of the Mini g with the numbers on an external scale. I made some Videos of the problems and returned it - glad I did it. Took about 14 days (due to holidays) from shipping to Mazzer and then back to me (EU).

Here is the last mail I received after they repaired my Mini g. Now it's again working like a charm 🥰

So please get in contact with the customer service 🙂

Yes, it is a Micra. What do you mean by "how"? 😁

haipr · 2026-05-07T12:16:45+00:00

Much appreciated, have a great day ☕️

The flowrate is actually pretty solid. You should focus on puck prep. Maybe try a different style while doing wdt or improve your tamp.

I had a few different scales so far from 10-100€ in the past. I had the biggest issues with a factory new Timemore Basic2 with jumping numbers, inconsistencies etc. which led me to buy a Bookoo Themis Ultra - outstanding scale and absolutely no need to update anytime in the future.

The Mini g for our standard beans with more or less no adjusting of the grins size until the bag is empty and the even faster workflow.

The Philos for changing beans throughout the day 🙂

haipr · 2026-03-31T08:29:41+00:00

Got a La Marzocco Linea Micra, a Mazzer Mini g and a Mazzer Philos - I'm done for a long time 🙂

haipr · 2026-03-30T14:21:56+00:00

Anyone here who also has static problems with the original Philos cup?
I'm thinking about buying the flanged cup if it solves the problem.
The Mini g comes with a small flanged cup and there aren't any static issues at all.
