Phantox Pro: Redefining Precision in Coffee Grinding

Mavo's Award-Winning Design Inspired by Camera Apertures

At the intersection of innovation and tradition, the Phantox Pro stands out as a testament to Mavo's commitment to enhancing the coffee experience. The grinder's design takes cues from the intricate mechanics of camera lens apertures, offering a tactile and precise way to adjust grind settings. This approach not only simplifies the process but also adds an element of enjoyment to the daily coffee ritual.

The Phantox Pro's standout feature is undoubtedly its specialized adjustment dial. Mimicking the manual control of a camera aperture, the dial allows for hyperfine adjustments across 120 distinct settings. This level of control ensures that coffee aficionados can achieve the perfect grind for any brewing method, from a robust espresso to a milder cold brew, with a simple twist.

Central to the grinder's performance is the patented Starblade burr design. At 45mm in diameter, the Starblade's innovative structure pierces and cuts coffee beans with precision, enhancing the sweetness and clarity of the resulting brew. The design team's research into the shortcomings of conventional grinders led to this breakthrough, which increases the grinding area by over 40 percent, ensuring efficiency and uniformity.

Constructed with meticulous attention to detail, the Phantox Pro features a robust all-metal casing, shaped using 5-axis CNC machining for a sleek, professional look. The central shaft, supported by three bearings, maintains an impressive tolerance under 3 microns, guaranteeing the consistency and longevity of the grind. The 420 stainless steel burrs promise strength and durability, while the engraved surface provides a secure, non-slip grip.

The design's ingenuity extends to its user-friendly interface. Clear markings beneath the dial guide users through the selection process, making it intuitive to find the ideal setting for different coffee preparations. The Phantox Pro's dimensions of 150 mm x 84 mm x 211 mm make it a compact yet powerful addition to any kitchen or coffee shop.

The culmination of Mavo's design expertise and the collaborative efforts of team members Xiaofeng Liu, Jianhe Liao, and Qingping Kong, the Phantox Pro was developed over 18 months in Guangzhou. Its introduction to the Chinese market in June 2023 marked a new chapter in manual coffee grinding, setting a benchmark for design excellence as evidenced by its Golden A' Design Award victory. The Phantox Pro is not just a tool but a celebration of the art and science of coffee, promising to delight and inspire with every use.
