Why This Grinder Works for Your Setup
-
The compact size means it will fit smoothly into a retail café or mobile setup without dominating the counter space.
-
With commercial-grade burrs and motor, it offers the power and consistency expected in professional use—well suited if you’re handling high traffic or demand.
-
The stepless adjustment gives you the flexibility to dial in grind size precisely for espresso extraction—for your in-house brand or café use.
-
The 600 g hopper offers a good capacity for continuous use, yet the optional smaller hoppers allow flexibility for lighter use or tighter spaces.
-
Built by Mazzer’s legacy of Italian engineering, meaning the machine is designed with durability, serviceability and longevity in mind—matching your brand’s commitment to quality.
Ideal Use Case
This grinder is perfect if you’re running a high-calibre café or specialty coffee shop (such as your own store) and you need a reliable, high-performance grinder that occupies minimal space while delivering commercial-level output. It is also suited as a serious ‘second’ grinder when paired with another primary machine, or for focused espresso bars.
Considerations
-
While compact, the 8.5 kg weight and aluminium body mean you’ll need a stable, secure counter surface.
-
Ensure sufficient clearance for hopper height when filled (approx 485 mm height with standard hopper).
-
Proper maintenance (burr inspection/cleaning) will be key to keep performance optimal—consistent with Mazzer’s professional orientation.
-
Although the hopper offers 600 g capacity, if your daily throughput is extremely high you may still consider larger machines—but for most café environments this is more than adequate.
Key improvements / differences in the new Mini
-
Motor / speed upgrade
The new Mini is described as being fitted with “a new asynchronous motor, boosting grinding speed by more than 50% compared to the previous model”.
This means: for the same beans & setting, the new model will grind faster and thus be more efficient in high-throughput or café use.
-
Digital / interface enhancements
The new Mini features a modern touch user‐interface:
-
Programmable single and double time-doses (with hundredths of a second precision)
-
Improved chute & portafilter holder design (in one review of the latest “Mini – The Classic Grinder Released Anew” article)
These ergonomic / workflow upgrades tend to make the new machine more user-friendly in a busy environment.
-
Same burr size but optionally improved burrs + body
Both versions use 64 mm flat burrs (233M in‐house bearing steel) as the standard for the Mini series.
While not a difference in burr size, the new machine emphasises “two sets of burrs for different taste profiles … 233M bearing steel flat burrs … designed and manufactured in-house by Mazzer”.
Also, the new model emphasizes “die-cast aluminium body … designed for durability” (which older models already had, but the messaging is stronger).
-
Improved workflow / maintenance features
The newer model mentions features such as:
-
Antistatic system to keep counter clean of coffee dust.
-
Easily removable chute for cleaning.
-
Adjustable portafilter holder for consistent flow into basket.
These are refinements that may not have been as developed (or at all) in older models.
