Orphan Espresso Pharos
HK$2,480.00
The PHAROS is the culmination or an ongoing 3 year project at OE involving hand coffee grinding and grinders. These grinders range from the very early lap mills with oversized wooden boxes and big top funnels to the modern manufacture German, Italian, and French box mills as well as the Japanese ceramic burr grinders....with some old and new brass Turkish mills as well. We, and others, have gravitated to the use of hand grinders from the "golden age" of European box mills, using designs from German makers Zassenhaus, Dienes, KyM and others, as well as Italian Tre Spade for fine espresso grinding, and our preference for french press....Peugeot of France.
With every grinder a central question arises....WHY does this grinder perform in any specific way? What are the design characteristics that makes one grinder perform FAST and another SLOW? What burr bearing system is advantageous for espresso grinding? What functional elements promote an even coarse grind from one grinder which will not perform well in the fine ranges? How can it be that one mill with evident burr wobble and obvious burr wear can produce consistent espresso grind while another grinder, seemingly never used, does not grind to consistent particle size for almost ANY coffee brewing method? The answer of choice to all of these questions would be of course....MAGIC!!!....MYSTERY!!!....but in reality it is DESIGN and ENGINEERING.
We began our PHAROS project with a set of functional demands that we have for a hand grinder and 3 years of feedback from other hand grinder aficionados....an ideal hand grinder should be:
The heart of the PHAROS is a 68mm conical coffee grinding burr set as used in top of the line commercial grinders. We built the grinder around this burr.
The inner burr is mounted in the center of a long stainless steel axle which is held at the top and bottom with replaceable oil-less bronze bearings center fit into the top and bottom plates.
The outer burr is attached to the center plate using 4 bolts, with the upper hopper chamber composed of a clear poly carbonate sleeve held inside the bolts. The pc cylinder above the burr creates an internal hopper which holds about 21 grams of beans. Cylinder filling is through the openings at the top plate bearing.
The functional demand of this design is that all elements are precisely centered in relation to each other to allow for maximum centered alignment of the burr, axle, and assembly plates.
The grind adjustment is made using 2 knurled nuts at the top of the axle, under the handle. The lower thumb nut is moved up or down the threaded shaft to establish the grind setting (the gap between the inner and outer burr) and the upper thumb nut is tightened down against the lower to lock the setting. Adequate tightness of these two nuts is generally made with the fingers only but additional torque for tightening can be added by use of a bar or pin to tighten these two nuts against each other. The turning handle is installed above these two adjustment nuts by use of a custom made thin jam nut...all topped off by a top cap which covers and protects the threads.
The lower grinds hopper is composed of ABS plastic with cap head bolts installed into the upper and lower edges, which are in turn fit into holes in the center and lower plates. The thick walled ABS with its alignment bolts prevents torsional stresses from distorting the mechanism and provides the structural rigidity needed to withstand the forces produced while grinding. The lower grinds hopper contains a molded ABS plastic funnel, penetrated by the burr axle which terminates through the bottom plate of the machine. The funnel is closed with a rubber stopper.
The aluminum plates and components within are all held firmly by the use of long assembly bolts. There is no glue or other fasteners used in the machine so it can all be taken apart and reassembled as desired. PVC standoff bolt covers are added on the assembly bolts to allow assembly without danger of over tightening and bending the aluminum plates...no tuning or fiddling is required, simply assemble and tighten the bolts to snug.
For rock solid stability when used as a counter top grinder, the Pharos uses a dense custom pad made from 100% recycled rubber to fully support the machine.
The result of our efforts has been to meet all of our stated design priorities, and exceed them in some areas....The PHAROS is:

We began our PHAROS project with a set of functional demands that we have for a hand grinder and 3 years of feedback from other hand grinder aficionados....an ideal hand grinder should be:
- Fast...giving a good speed to power ratio to allow rapid grinding at all coarseness levels...no one, it seems appreciates a slow grinder.
- Consistent....producing uniform particle size through the range with incremental stepless burr adjustment
- Convenient....changing grind settings should be direct and understandable, not to mention repeatable
- Maintainable....the grinder should be easily taken apart for cleaning
- Durable....hand built to last and not a use it and toss it item
- Sustainable...all parts can be replaced for any reason for infinite use

The result of our efforts has been to meet all of our stated design priorities, and exceed them in some areas....The PHAROS is:
- Fast AND powerful....grinds at all coarseness levels at about 25 turns per tablespoon of beans, Turkish to French Press with increasing turning force required for finer settings
- Very uniform fine grinds and from our tests a good coarse grind (this is the hardest grind to produce on any grinder) with about 5% of the grinds passing through a .5mm test screen. We have read that when grinding fresh beans on a coarse setting that these unavoidable "fines" are likely inert particles of the bean hull and do not effect extraction.
- The top adjustment makes the grinder convenient to set and change adjustment settings. If one looks at the grinder from the top and think of a clock face, then partial and full revolutions of the set nut can be established quite simply....inserting the bar or pin in a hole of the lower set nut will allow an even finer degree of visualization of the movement of this nut and very small changes can be made in the setting.
- For cleaning the lower hopper or burrs, the lower plate is removed to access the grinding mechanism. Remove the lower frame assembly nuts and bolts, take off the handle and it is all in front of you for service. Assembly is simple and the burr alignment is not changed during cleaning and maintenance.
- Durable and sustainable....5 pounds of aluminum, plastic, steel, and standard (not proprietary) assembly parts speaks for itself!!
