    The shape of the burrs conicle is well cone shaped and the standard burr grinder is sort of flat

    but is there a difference in flavour?

      Thats what I thought, However I was having a look at the Mazzers in the Sydney Showroom and was surprised that the Larger of the mazzers were a different grinding mechanism compared to that of the Mini Mazzer..... I think Ill do a bit more research.

        Conical grinders generally run at a slower rpm than flat burrs, thus generating less heat, at least in the larger commercial models. There was a thread in the aussie section of coffeegeek recently about the differences in the mazzer range.

        No complaints though about the output from the flat burrs on my mazzer mini. I hope to have a cimbali flat burr grinder with a larger burr set than the mazzer to compare.

          I thought there was a debate that the conical burr grinders create a longer shaped grind particle than the flat burr ones so the taste was superior (somehow). Personally, I couldnt say if this was true or false as the only conical high end grinder Ive come across is the Robur and we didnt do a back to back test vs the Super Jolly.

            There could be something in that Kaanage as I had a Solis 166 (conical bur grinder). Before I got my Rocky (flat burr grinder) and the initial shots were nicer out of the Solis than the Rocky for the same amount of coffee.

            But now I pack as much coffee in the into the filter basket as possible which more than solved that little problem.

            Wouldnt go back now.

              What actually got me asking this was the Mazzer Super Jolly that I saw at Saeco had a worm screw type of head on the Bottom grinding blade, and from what I could tel this is used for dragging down the beans. Ill look up a couple of sites that list the spare parts and see what it actually does.
