The Mazzer Mini Type A comes equipped with an electronic automatic dosing system, which allows you to program and dose single and double shots by time at the press of a button. You can also press and hold the manual grind button, lifting your finger once you’ve reached a desired amount. The Mazzer Mini Type A retains the high-performance motor found in the standard Mini, as well as the short bean hopper, but that’s where the similarities end. The manual timer dial is replaced with electronic controls integrated atop the ground’s dispenser, which funnels grounds evenly into the middle of your portafilter. The single and double shot buttons can be programmed by time to dispense automatically when pressed. We also appreciate Mazzer’s attention to detail in their design; for instance, the controls can be lifted from the top of the dispenser and handily clipped onto the side, and the portafilter can rest hands-free in the holder during grinding. The Type A is a serious upgrade to the Mini line, with its easy and intuitive operation,
The Mazzer Mini Type A boasts 64mm stainless steel burrs, which have a larger surface area on which to grind than the standard Mini. The Type A is also stepless, meaning its burrs can essentially be adjusted infinitely by turning the collar in small amounts. Now, this grinder can produce coarse or fine grinds, though, in the case of stepless grinders, we recommend committing to espresso or other fine grinds to avoid serious dialing in before every use. The burrs are easy to access for cleaning, and calibrating them afterward is simple, too.
The Mini Type A lets you program a single and double shot to dispense for a particular amount of time on demand. Programming is intuitive using the simple menu and controls, and the number of shots ground are stored and displayed on the screen. Slide your portafilter into the hands-free holder, press the button, and the Mini Type A has your shots covered.
The Mazzer Mini Type A comes with a short bean hopper to provide more room to fit underneath your kitchen cabinets. It is manufactured in White, Black, Grey, Aluminium A, Polished Aluminium D, Light Red, Dark Red, and Yellow.
