Testing Part 1: Does the Gravimetric Dosing System Deliver? How does the unit, with all its bells and whistles, hold up in cafe conditions?.Does changing the RPM do anything valuable (or otherwise) to the coffee grounds?.Is the dosing system accurate and reproducible?.
But how does it fare in real world operation? For us, the key questions to answer are: So, on paper, the grinder looks like it’s the best thing since Gaggia was able to produce crema on an espresso. Yes, we were able to modify the burr speed from 400 to 1200rpm. Included in the model we tested, the ‘Mythos 2 Gravimetric’, was also a burr speed control system. On paper, we felt that this would help workflow in a café, and the consistency of the served espresso. No longer does a barista need to ‘dial-in’ a timer on the grinder – the machine does that for you.Īnd this is a significant innovation, and surely one that would have taken years to develop. Within the new Mythos 2 model, Victoria Arduino included a gravimetric dosing system… Which is another way of saying that the scales are built into the grinder. Before we get into those, let’s first focus on what makes this grinder unique, at least on paper. That said, there were some issues with the model received (likely because we had a preproduction prototype to test). If you read no more, read that we believe it fits into comfortably in Category 2: the good kind. The second kind takes the massive success of the first and eclipses it by refining the old and then adding something no-one else dared before. The first kind tries to cash in on the success of the former, tending to follow the same script, with one or two minor nods to innovation (like a clock in a refrigerator).
Sequels tend to fall within two categories. Mythos 2 Grinder: better than the original? We’d love to see the designers improve the ‘tare’ time for grinding. This machine is a worthy upgrade from the Mythos 1 in almost every way. Set-and-forget automatic mass dosing (i.e.Featuring built-in scales & variable speed motor, our Coffee Next team test the brand new Mythos 2 from Victoria Arduino to find out how it stacks up to the original.
