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.
The Mythos One uses a small heating element to heat the burr chamber, eliminating the grinder moving from cold > hot and vice versa. A fan and duct are used to expel excess heat, keeping chamber temps between 35 and 45°C. This means less grind adjustment required throughout a shift, and less waste – both things that all baristas and owners wish for.

Why we like it?
The distribution is fantastic most of the time. At very fine grinds you will see a small amount of clumping, but within acceptable limits. Grind adjustments are easily altered in tiny amounts thanks to its stepless micrometric design.
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.
Who’s it for?
This grinder will improve anyone’s coffee quality, but it is a serious investment. 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. Clearly both bits of kit have to be good, but a great grinder gives you a better shot at producing great coffee.
Designed 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.

Speed
This model won’t win awards for speed, but it is no slouch either. Our 17g shots probably average at 5.8 to 6.2s. This is hugely dependent on the coffee and subsequent grind setting. 75mm burrs and a slow motor help keep temperatures from skyrocketing. Stable temperature is the main focus of this machine.

Build quality
The build quality is very good. We make it work hard and it takes it very well. The trigger button and portafilter fork are very sturdy, and the timer controls feel tough enough to survive daily use easily.
