Pharos Hand Grinder

For those that just have to have the freshest coffee the Pharos Hand Grinder is nothing short of phenomenal!

I had been using a Capresso burr grinder with an inverter in the LC when out on the trail but it started giving me fits so I went searching for a new grinder and found the Pharos. Solid precision and until you use one you just won't understand the ear to ear grin every time it gets called for duty!

A few high points:

*Made in Idaho...NOT China!
*Orphan Espresso nailed the design!
*Super consistent grind (even better than my Mazzer Mini!)
*50-easy turns to clump free cold ground coffee (espresso grind; fewer turns for drip)
*No electricity required
*Portable
*Huge 68mm diameter conical burrs
*No static!
*Easy adjustment for the fine to course and everything in between
*A joy to use!

No connection other than I'm a 100% pleased customer.

Here is my formula for the best coffee in the world. Jump in your Cruiser and head to a remote, isolated location, backpacking or canoeing if necessary, preferably with at least a 50 mile view and camp over night. At first light, put a pot of water from a local spring over the campfire and bring it to a boil. Throw a handful of coffee grounds in the pot and simmer for 15 minutes or so until it is thick and black. Then, pull the pot off of the fire add a little cold water to sink the grounds. Pour the finished coffee into a porcelain tin mug and watch the sunrise.

Enlighten your world to old school farming and fantastic beans. Bring your checkbook, but it is hands down the best. Fresh grind immediately before brewing.

I'm also a fan of French press and carry a small one out on the trail.

Newer to ih8mud. Good to see that you guys are talking about coffee.

Getting into the new to me lx 450. Maybe one day we can all drive together drinking great coffee. Let me know if you know of any great trails you recommend in the area?

Hi Sean,

We've had some wonderful espresso and capps at Temple when we've been in Sacramento. Alvaro turned us on to Temple a few years ago. We finally have a good micro roaster up here; The Hub. Its great to finally have good selection in quality and properly roasted beans!

IIRC, while at an SCAA show in Anaheim a couple years ago, one of your baristas did very well if not placed.

Maybe our off-road paths will cross some day!

Anyone tried this thing yet?

As a home roaster and espresso drinker (Cimbali M21 and Mazzer Mini at home), I travel and camp with a manual burr grinder and press, but have often wished for a proper espresso rather than drip. Assuming one could get the grind and temperature right, and could work through the variables of a manual pump system, maybe there's hope for a decent shot.
 
^ Its a rebadged Presso. Not sure what's going on with/why the rebadge but that's what it is.

I've put hundreds and hundreds of shots through mine apart of camping forays. I tried several different moka pots to varying levels of dissatisfaction and then when they intro'd the Presso quite a few years ago I also gave it a go. You don't quite get espresso with crema. Instead you get very strong coffee (just shy of turkish style coffee) near espresso with some brown foam at the end. Its simple and reliable...but not real espresso.

OTOH for real espresso in a portable machine nothing beats the mypressi TWIST refreshed v2. The latest incarnation of the TWIST features internal refinements that, so far, have made it reliable.

Coupled with my Orphan Espresso Pharos grinder I keep in the back of my LC I, along with my traveling friends, get quality espresso/espresso drinks...daily :)

I'm no expert coffee maker but I'm told the pros agree that the French Press is the best tool to make great coffee.

Having said that, I was just in France and was able to play with in an assembly-line size espresso machine of sorts that used a flying saucer-shaped little pad of coffee that you'd put in a slot and that would disappear in the bowels of the machine. Not seen that kind before. Dang, that thing was fast, and the coffee good, very easy to overindulge.
