Mazzer Mini

Solid, well built machine. Consistent grind. Quiet

Doser is difficult to empty completely. Chute holds too much coffee. "egg timer" type dial for control

Excellent grind consistency, granularity, control ; Quiet compared to other grinders ; Large hopper, which you can remove with beans in it without spilling them ; Looks amazing

Portafilter fork is too far from doser ; Sweeping in the doser is not as effective as it could be (fixed with a simple modification) ; Grinder land on the centre of the doser arms, which get stuck there

This machine delivers consistently excellent grinding. I keep reading about tweaking the machine to produce even better results but the coffee produced by this machine works exceptionally well on just the factory setting

I agree that the doser fork is too low and either should be raised or some sort of extension should be added to the left side of the doser chute to keep the coffee directed to the portafilter. I can't imagine what they were thinking when they attached...

Heavy duty construction of the frame and body ; Superb grind quality and consistency ; Infinite Grind Settings ; Quiet ; Sleek and modern look

The doser throws the grinds hard to the left unless you pull the handle gently. The large distance between the portafilter rest and the bottom of the doser makes this problem worse

Consistent, adjustable, repeatable set points. Change from ristretto to French press and back in a snap. Solid, hefty construction. Looks the part. Quiet

Chute does not fully clear. Doser does not quite sweep clear. Annoying finger guard (removeable though). Some static issues with certain coffees

Great solid grinder for the home user. Appears to be built like a tank and should last a very long time

The power cord on my unit comes out the side towards the front. Sort of in the way

Easy to use ; Reliable ; Looks great ; Timer is great

Doser can be a pain - but you get used to it

build quality beyond reproach ; grind and resulting shot quality ; easy to dial in ; stepless adjustment and ability to fine tune grind ; looks ; quiet

some wasted coffee ; needs modifications to work well in home use ; too tall with standard hopper ; the usual: power cord location, throws grinds to the left, distance between portafilter fork and doser too long, inefficient sweep / retained grounds...

NOTE: I rated this grinder '9' under 'cost vs. value', because the Australian distributors keep it nice and expensive here - around the $750 mark. I really wish they would sell it cheaper
