. Some people don't want a hulking shop-sized grinder on their counter.
The Pharos takes the same footprint as my commercial Santos Espresso grinder... ~ 1/3 the height, but still a monster, size wise.
A couple other things I noticed about the Pharos. The "tools" that come with it to loosen the jam-nut are made out of untreated steel... already rusting just due to humidity. They should be stainless or plated.
Here are some improvements I'd suggest for the Pharos
1) Make the hopper larger (taller) so it holds up to 50 grams of coffee (enough for a Chemex sized pourover)
2) By making it taller the posts would work as a handle... but one or all three could be made larger diameter so you could use them a a handle to hold the grinder while grinding.
3) countersink the top, inner screws so that the ring moves all the way into the hopper holes... would make it easier to get all the beans in
4) put some sort of indexing decal on the top so you could more easily adjust the grind with more precision.
5) make the tools out of stainless
6) make the exit funnel and stopper a larger diameter, so the coffee can get out easier
7) make the grind handle 1"- 2" longer.... leverage for an easier grind.
8 ) Include a storage box for the grinder and tools (could be an option)
