Mazzer Philos Canister – Dosing Container for 53 mm and 58 mm Portafilters
Sometimes you don't want to grind straight into the portafilter, but catch the grounds first – for a smaller dose, a different recipe or a calmer workflow. The stainless steel canister clicks magnetically onto the fork of the Mazzer Philos and aligns itself exactly under the outlet, catching the grounds cleanly.
As a partner of Mazzer, we carry the canister as an original Mazzer accessory – in the same build quality as the grinder, in 53 mm and 58 mm sizes.
What Sets the Canister Apart
For 53 mm and 58 mm portafilters
The 58 mm size matches the canister that ships with the Philos; the 53 mm variant extends the grinder to 53 mm portafilters, for example on machines with a 53 mm brew group.
Magnetic alignment
The canister clicks magnetically onto the Philos fork and sits exactly under the outlet – that keeps the coffee flow centred and the work surface clean.
Stainless steel
Sturdy, taste-neutral and easy to clean – built for daily use in a home barista setup.
Like the other Philos components, the canister fits the grinder precisely and meets the same standards of build quality and longevity. It's matched to the Mazzer Philos.

Who It’s For
For Philos users who want to catch their grounds first, instead of grinding straight into the portafilter – handy for smaller doses, changing recipes or a more relaxed workflow. And for anyone with a 53 mm portafilter looking for the matching canister for the Philos.
What Goes with It
The canister complements the Mazzer Philos; you'll find the grinder, burrs and more accessories in our Mazzer Collection. For puck prep, a WDT tool from the Normcore range is a good fit.

Roastery tip
Freshly ground tastes best: grind your dose just before pulling the shot, catch it in the canister and use it promptly. Reliable companions for espresso are Nutty Delight and Cozy Chocolate; if you like it fruity and bright, reach for Wild Peach. You'll find all the beans in our coffee bean selection. That's our recommendation, one of many.
