Good to see your review. ive had my Philos (UK) a while now and love it. Made me smile when you removed the handle designed to be used to remove the casing for cleaning. On the other hand I love your honesty leaving it in and not editing it out. good luck with your journey.

How loud would you say it is? I currently have a Baratza 270wi. Was thinking about getting like a Eureka Libra or Eureka w65, or Fiorenzato all ground sense. But many say single dose is better. If the loudness is same as my Baratza, I definitely don’t want it.

Happy Birthday!

This beautiful accent is killing me 🫠

Love the video! Thanks for making this content ☺️

Sad it doesn't fit in the Micra portafilter and super odd.

Regarding the grind time, it probably makes no difference when making milk drinks. When you drop the beans, you can get and pour the milk. No time wasted! Also, beware fast grinding with smaller (64mm) burrs. That will cause backups and regrinding, creating more fines. For faster grinding, get a grinder with bigger burrs, but not a cheap one. The bigger the burr diameter, the more important the alignment and stability.

What burrs do you have and have you tried pour over with it

This grinder can be bought for €995 directly from Mazzer. Also what burrs did you use?

Mazzer itself directly on their page is selling it for € 995,- for the next couple of weeks.

Not sure you mentioned, is it 200D or 189D burr?

Nice video, thanks! Just a couple of comments: You keep referring to the price tag of the grinder as Eur 1,400 but it’s actually Eur 995 directly from Mazzer. 2nd,Which Burrs do you have? 3rd, It’s a catch cup not a basket! 😜

Also, guys!!! I just wanna add that Mazzer slowed down the grind speed to improve consistency. That shows, because it is very consistent. So there’s that little piece of knowledge for you.

Thank you. Interesting to hear your opinion. Happy birthday. Using the provided cup will stop all the chaff. Mazzer earth that bottom plate and the magnets hold it in place. I laughed when you removed the handle 😀

Thank you for this video! would you say its better than the Niche Zero? - I primarily have medium/dark roast espressos

Niet roeren!!!!!!!!

My lord this was painful to watch.

What does it grind better espresso or for pour over? Or is it meant for espresso only with stock burrs?

If you like this, wait till you use their Espresso Machine Basket Plus add-on for a delicious double shot (18g).

Is it possible to preinfuse?

Bought one last week and find it really useful. I have a bean to cup m/c for my daily espressos; this was for when I'm away from the house. Also found my favourite coffee in pods and they're great! In fact, I'll probably end up using it at home as it's easier to try different coffees than my bean2cup. I chose the red model - it's more pink than red, but ensures I don't leave it lying around...

You should bring it on your bike tours!

I like the realness in your video’s 👌🏼

So what is your professional opinion about the pico for home use? I just ordered the linea micra and the pico looks like it could be a great grinder to pair with it

I'd like to see you review a Ceado next, and then compare with the DF64 and Pico.

I love your coffee content, especially this video! I’m interested in discussing a potential collaboration with you. Could you please let me know the best way to get in touch with you?

Ik heb de Varia vs3 gen 2. Top molen geen retentie ook zonder balg. Iets goedkoper… Ook een conical grinder.

Is that a SCA certificate on the wall?

So nice to see a review that feels so personal instead of sounding like someone is trying to sell me something.

Nice coffee corner 👍👍👍👍

Have you ever used a Mazzer Mini? If so, how would you rate it compared to this? Im considering a Mazzer Mini Electronic B vs the Pico! 😀

Too noisy

39mm conical burr grinder cost 1000+ is unacceptable. Fellow Ode costs 300-400 dollars is generous to come with 64mm flat burr.

Cool video, just one thing. Why not use a dosing funnel?

Rubber ring down for the dosing collar it locks into the cup that way!

From my experience the varia vs3 with the hypernova ultra burrs is the best bang for the buck for espresso. It's like the conical burr version of this

Thankyou for the clear review! I think I will consider buying one 🤔

Hi, what ceramic cup is that? Looks beautiful.

The DF64 Gen 2 (and DF64v, and DF83, and DF54...) is well-known among home baristas because it's the only cheap, semi-decent espresso-capable grinder with 64mm flat burrs available on the market. The stock Italmill burrs aren't up to par, so most owners opt to switch them out for SSP HU/MP or Mazzer burrs. While the motor is powerful enough, its long-term reliability is uncertain since these grinders are still relatively new. The main problem with these DF grinders (across their entire line) is inconsistent quality control at the factory, leading to some poorly aligned units. Alignment issues can be mitigated with shimming, but not everyone has the time or inclination to do so. If you're using flat burr grinders, you might find it helpful to spray the beans with water (known as RDT, or the Ross Droplet Technique). This reduces static and often eliminates grounds and chaff flying everywhere, as well as minimizing retention. Cheers!

Super nice review! Love the dutch community growing!! Keep it up! Love frekko’s coffee too

What a great review! It was a pleasure working with you. I hope there’s much more to come in the future 🤙☕️

Great review!! If you get a chance try the same companies DF54 which is a smaller more affordable version of this grinder which has a lot of buzz around it for being almost as good while being half the price of the DF64 gen 2. I would love to see your take on it.

so niceeee

What do you think about the Sculpture 078s?

The issue with becoming increasingly immersed in a rabbit hole such as coffee (especially espresso, as you appear to be) is that what once was a "nice cup" as a patron in a coffee shop evolves into an endless quest for a "better cup" as a home barista. What constitutes "better," I have no idea. A more balanced, sweeter, clearer cup? Less bitter? Heavier-bodied? More extracted? Who knows. At some juncture, drinking coffee becomes an excuse to brew coffee rather than the other way around, or something to that effect. This is particularly true with a machine like your Linea Micra, my Lelit Bianca, or other high-end machines, where the act of using it is just as enjoyable as savoring the end result, most of the time anyway. To the everyday coffee person, there is little distinction between the X54 and the Pico, and considerations like retention and exchange don't determine their grinder of choice. Most people with an espresso machine here simply toss pre-ground Lavazza into their 25-year-old Gaggias encrusted in limescale after enduring a quarter-century of dealing with hard tap water, pour an arbitrary amount of coffee into the cup, and find contentment. I was brought up on burnt Moka pot coffee as part of my Italian heritage, so I'm familiar with the phenomenon. For most people, coffee is just coffee, and there isn't much more to it. But then, one day, you begin to wonder if that's truly all there is to it, and before you know it, you've set up a coffee bar in your own room. I know I did. I appreciate this friendly and relaxed approach to content, and I always admire someone who's passionate about their interests! Since you're up there in the Netherlands, I recommend giving DAK and Shokunin a try if you have the chance (since you've already got the jar from AMOC at the ACF). I regularly find amazing stuff from them. Un saluto :)

What size is your basket? Because dosing 19.5g in a small basket will result in a puck that touches the water dispersion screw and you won’t get consistent results as it makes a dent in the puck

You need a collar for your portafilter this will allow you to use the wdt. I suggest getting one which is magnetic and tall. I would also suggest seasoning your burrs to ensure consistent grinding, getting a puck screen, pullman basket and ditching the distribution tool

What kind of brew is the Pico for? Espresso, drip, pour over.

Nice insights, cool to hear the retention is so low and it can single dose well!

My mini favorite would be an Olympia Maximatic and their Moca grinder if I ever needed to save space. Looks like you need a funnel to reduce mess and wdt before the doze/tamp will considerably improve your consistency along with a puck bottom paper filter and top screen especially since you don't seem to be doing a lower pressure pre-infusion. A spritz of water on the beans will also help with preventing retention and decreasing static charge to improve extraction and again reduce mess.
