My thoughts: The Mazzer Mini (flat burr) gives a much better result compared to the Sunbeam EM0480. (conical burr). The grind size is very consistent and allows me to extract thick espresso which was something that was very hard to do on the Sunbeam.
It takes about 30 seconds to grind enough for a double basket (approx 19g). It then takes a bit more time to dose and tamp, so it could up to 1 minute before the portafilter is ready to be locked onto the group head.
Positives: Solid build, weighs 10kg, no burr movement, no static, minimal clumping, stepless adjustments
Negatives: Doser gets a bit messy but the following mods make this grinder perfect:
- Sweeper mod using cloth tape
- Schectermatic mod (pictured below) to allow the grinds to drop into the basket straight
- Removed finger guard to allow me to brush out grinds in the chute
- Upside down shot glass to keep the doser adjustment clean
