  • Mazzer Mini Grind time

    Hi,
    I have a Mazzer Mini E, which I have used for the last 7 years.
    Are there any ways to increase the duration of the double dose grind? I use an 18g basket, I think the maximum I can get on the double dose is 16g. So I have adjusted it to 9g and tap it twice.

    Whilst a minor annoyance, I would love to be able to just push double dose once!

    kind regards
    Bb

    I've never been able to figure this out.

    I do a combo double and single to get the right dose.

    I'll follow this thread with interest.

    Cheers

      On the mini the grind is indeed a bit slow. The Mini E does however have the same burr carrier as die super jolly, so it is a quite common mod (for household use) to replace the mini burrs with super jolly burrs. That speeds up the grind time, and it'll fit into the time frame available. That is the easiest to do, and the grind goes quicker in the mornings! I've done that mod on mine about a year ago now, and I've not had any problems. Obviously the motor works a bit harder, and I wouldn't do that for a production environment.
      Alternatively, it *should* be possible to replace the multi-turn pot with a higher value, or possibly add a resistor in series to raise the time window for one of the pots, but that's not something I've done or read up on at all. That really is just speculation based on my limited knowledge of general timer circuits.
