Victoria Arduino Mythos MY85 Grinder

The Victoria Arduino Mythos MY85 is a professional electric espresso grinder for cafés with a high number of orders. 85 mm flat burrs and a grinding speed of 4.5 g/s shorten the time needed per dose and keep the barista moving during busy service. The Mythos MY85 combines high output with Clima Pro technology, the DDD system and low retention.

Victoria Arduino Mythos MY85: what do 85 mm burrs change?

Larger burrs matter above all for grinder output. The Mythos MY85 grinds at 4.5 g/s, while the MY75 with 75 mm burrs reaches 3 g/s.

For an 18 g dose, the stated figures work out at about 4 seconds of grinding on the MY85 and 6 seconds on the MY75. Actual time can depend on the coffee and grind size, but the difference shows why the MY85 is better suited to a hard-working bar.

85 mm burrs do not automatically make every espresso taste better. Their practical advantage is faster preparation of successive doses and smooth workflow without giving up precise adjustment.

How does the MY85 affect espresso consistency?

The biggest benefit in the cup comes indirectly, by making it easier to hold a dialled-in recipe under heavy workload. Clima Pro technology stabilises the temperature of the grinding chamber, limiting the effect of intensive use on how the grounds behave.

The DDD system uses an electronic sensor that reads the actual distance between the burrs. The barista can control adjustments more precisely and return to a previous setting more easily, instead of relying only on the position of the dial.

Vertical burrs and low retention reduce the amount of coffee left inside the grinder. A setting change shows up sooner in the next dose, and less leftover grounds from the previous grind end up in the portafilter.

At what sales volume is the Mythos MY85 worth the extra cost?

The MY85 is worth choosing when grinding time starts to limit the pace of service. This applies especially to cafés with clear peak hours, high sales of milk drinks and stations where one grinder handles most orders.

At 300 doses of 18 g a day, the difference between the stated speeds of the MY85 and MY75 adds up to about 10 minutes less waiting for grinding alone. More important than the daily total, though, is the queue: a few seconds saved on each dose help you get through orders that come one after another.

The extra cost of the MY85 pays off mainly where faster grinding clears bottlenecks and lets you serve more customers. In a quiet or moderately busy venue the MY75 may be enough, because the difference in output will not always make a noticeable change to the workflow.
