Coffee Parts Thoughts
The Mazzer Mini A is the original high-end home espresso grinder. Over the years, it's evolved from manual dosing models to this digital, grind-on-demand version with a great touchpad interface. Solid and heavy, it shares the DNA of Mazzer’s commercial giants—the Robur, Major, and Super Jolly—bringing that café feeling to your kitchen bench. With Mazzer-manufactured 64mm flat burrs and full compatibility with aftermarket options like SSP burrs, the Mini A delivers fluffy, consistent espresso grounds. The stepless collar system offers infinite grind control, though it can get stiff over time and requires redialling after cleaning—a small trade-off for the level of precision it offers.
In testing, the Mini A delivered a 20g dose in just 11 seconds, averaging 88–90dB. Grind consistency stayed tight within a 19.8–20.2g range. It's fast, reliable, and built to last—ideal for home baristas and cafés wanting pro-grade results without taking up too much bench space. If you’re chasing espresso consistency and time-tested performance, the Mazzer Mini A remains one of the best compact grinders on the market.
