For us coffee swots, the nerdy side of our love of speciality coffee has been delighted to watch the newest pieces of transformational technology that Victoria Arduino’s team release each year.Ģ019 was a big year for the Italian coffee giants, as it was this year that saw the release of its much anticipated Eagle One machine. Since 1905, the world’s technological developments have been fused with the latest design trends, to form coffee machines that have received global renown for over a century.
This is hugely dependent on the coffee and subsequent grind setting. Our 17g shots probably average at 5.8 to 6.2s.
This model won’t win awards for speed, but it is no slouch either. Coffee does make its way under the upper and lower burr, and also under the lower burr carrier so cleaning should be as frequent as possible. The burr chamber does not hold a great deal – perhaps another few grams. We purge one 17g shot between grind adjustments for peace of mind but the actual retention is slightly lower at around 13g. Clearly both bits of kit have to be good, but a great grinder gives you a better shot at producing great coffee.ĭesigned for speciality coffee bars that are quality focused, the Mythos One not only makes tasty coffee but also makes the barista’s job that bit easier as it performs more consistently. That said, we will always recommend upgrading your espresso grinder before upgrading your machine, as, pound for pound, a grinder will give better improvements in the cup than a shiny new espresso machine. This grinder will improve anyone’s coffee quality, but it is a serious investment. We recommend leaving the unit switched on overnight so that it is ready to use and up to temperature when you arrive for your shift in the morning. Grind adjustments are easily altered in tiny amounts thanks to its stepless micrometric design. At very fine grinds you will see a small amount of clumping, but within acceptable limits. The distribution is fantastic most of the time. I’ll admit we were unsure whether it would turn out to be a hugely worthwhile investment, but we are now 100% sold on its performance and simple design, which makes it very easy to maintain and clean. We use the Mythos One in our coffee bars.
This means less grind adjustment required throughout a shift, and less waste – both things that all baristas and owners wish for. A fan and duct are used to expel excess heat, keeping chamber temps between 35 and 45☌. The Mythos One uses a small heating element to heat the burr chamber, eliminating the grinder moving from cold > hot and vice versa.

The Mythos One is currently regarded as one of the best grinders on the market due to its Clima Pro technology and a grind distribution that few others achieve.
