The "mini version" of the Mazzer family of grinders has gained a lot of notoriety in the specialty coffee arena. With its superb quality and precision, the Mazzer Mini has become the benchmark for what a home and light commercial espresso grinder should be. While the Mazzer Mini was originally conceived as a light commercial espresso grinder to be placed in low volume cafes and espresso bars, a position well suited to the Mini, it has become an icon among home espresso enthusiasts as one of the best grinders for the money. The name may be a little deceiving. It may be called a "mini", but the Mazzer Mini is the largest and heaviest coffee grinder we offer. It's called the Mini, because it happens to be the smallest grinder that Mazzer makes. The Mazzer is the real thing. You may notice a few grinders that look just like this one in many coffee bars. This is because Mazzer has garnered a worthy reputation in the industry and a few brands are fortunate to be able to place their name and reputation on a Mazzer. This is a well thought out grinder with attention to detail. Its sturdy construction with nearly everything being made metal will withstand home and light commercial use for many years making this a grinder that will give you what you pay for. It's quiet, allowing for a normal conversation to take place over its quiet hum, and it certainly won't stir those who are still asleep in the morning. It's a precision machine in that it can grind to any specification, coarse to espresso and Turkish coffee, and it won't hiccup when grinding under heavy loads or fine settings. There is a "best" in every category of product and we think the Mazzer Mini is a strong contender for being the best in the grinder category indeed.
