Here, I take a look at two of the hottest grinders on the market: the Mazzer Philos and the Zerno Z1. Both of these have made massive splashes, with the former being immediately available and cheaper and the latter more expensive and more elusive. Which one is the better buy? In this video, I lay out all of my thoughts with regards to burrs, build, retention, sound, speed, and more. Hope you enjoy!
