What’s the difference between Mizen 48 and 65?
The Mizen 65CL is the latest addition to our Mizen conical burr series. Our goal was to create burrs that offer faster grinding while improving the cup profile (taking advantage of the low RPM on the Casa). On average, compared to the Mizen 48, the 65CL burrs provides up to 20% increase in grind speed (translating to 5-10 seconds faster grinding, depending on beans and grind size). More importantly, we selected these burrs design based on the flavor profile/performance, as opposed to focusing solely on increasing speed at the expense of flavor quality.
Based on our testing, flavor-wise, the Casa 65 burrs buils on the profile of the Mizen 48 (i.e. balanced, sweet and approachable), but with noticeable improvements in complexity and clarity. In the cup, you may find yourself being able to detect more layers of flavours/complexity (e.g. flavor separation), along with a more elegant presentation of acidity and moderate level of bodies/texture. In our experience, this general taste characteristic translates to both espresso and pour-over brewing, and the 65CL works with a range of roast levels, making it an excellent multipurpose burr.
