The Mazzer Mini arrived this afternoon, great service from Roger at Supreme Roasters, as well as an excellent price he included 3 x 250 gram packs of roasted beans as a bonus.
Set it up on the bench, turned it on, no beans, located true zero then backed it off to what I thought was reasonable, ground a few beans did a comparison with what is working through my Rocky, made a minor adjustment, ground some more and pulled my first shot, a little fine, another tweak, a bit course, wound it down a touch, bingo, how easy was that?
The grinder is the latest model, a couple of minor (but significant) changes have been made to the design since Greg Pullman did his excellent comparative review.
The tray in front to catch stray grounds is no longer the plastic affair with the 2 x breakage prone prongs, it has been replaced with a robust stainless steel one.
The power cord no longer sticks out of the LH side like a tree branch, it exits from the bottom of the machine and can be directed to the left, right or in my case the rear of the machine.
All in all a very satisfactory experience.
