Coffee grinders beta · Lagom
Owners keep the P80 for light-roast espresso and filter, where the stock Mizen burrs pull out flavours they had not tasted before, and they accept a high price for it.
The two accounts on flavour clarity both put it first: one said the grinder revealed notes in light roasts they had never noticed, and that a medium roast still kept most of its body. Only two owners raised it, so this is a signal, not a settled verdict.
Both accounts on price were negative: one said the P80 sits outside their budget in Europe and chose a Mazzer Philos instead, the other named it as worth it but firmly at the expensive end. Two accounts is too few to call this a clear complaint.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
The day-to-day picture from these accounts is a grinder pointed at lighter roasts. One owner who tasted light-roast espresso from the Casa, the P80 and the 01 side by side at Lagom's Melbourne brew lab preferred the P80 to the 01 and put the Casa close behind it, and would still pay the extra for the P80 if the money were there. Another uses the stock Mizen burrs for both filter and espresso and finds they handle both well.
What owners adjust to is the burr question. The P80 takes regular screw-in 80mm burrs as well as blind burrs, and swapping to Weber or SSP sets is described as a real option rather than a hack. One owner cautioned that the very tight tolerances can make the grinder fussy about what goes in, and that burrs designed for medium-dark beans, like the E80, are a poor match for a grinder whose stock burrs are happiest with light roasts.
Nobody in these accounts describes anything breaking. The only mechanical note is the tight tolerances, raised as a compatibility caveat when fitting other burrs rather than as a fault. No owner mentions a repair, a replacement, or contact with the maker.
That is because the long-term record here is thin. Eighteen accounts were labelled, no theme drew more than two separate owners, and several of the comments are about rival grinders (the Zerno Z1, the Niche, the Philos) with the P80 mentioned in passing. There is not yet enough here to say how a P80 holds up after years of daily use.
Nothing with a clear majority yet. Owners who raised these subjects were split, or too few to judge.
Nothing has a clear majority against it yet. Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
The same owner, asked again at each point. Fills in as owners answer.
