The Mazzer Mini Electronic Type B features all the standards that made Mazzer a household name and puts a new spin on its famed electronic dosing. To grind beans and dose the ground coffee with the Type B, you will use your portafilter to press an activation button that sits beneath the doser. Press it once to grind and dose a single shot, press it twice quickly for a double shot, or hold the button in for manual dosing. In addition to this, you can adjust how much coffee is ground and dosed in both a single and double shot by adjusting one of the dosing dials. Like the other Mini units, the Type B also features infinite grind settings. The frame and body are made of one piece of heavy die cast aluminum. This ensures long lasting durability for the finish and further cuts down the sound of the motor.
+
 
+
The Type B was designed to handle a commercial load, but due to its fine craftsmanship, it has found its way into the home. The motor draws 250 watts and is a direct drive style that operates at 1600 RPM. It is so quiet, that when operating without beans you can barley hear the motor. As a safety feature, the Mini B has an overload switch that turns the machine off to prevent any damage due to foreign objects getting stuck in the burrs. The grinding burrs on the Mazzer Mini Electronic Type B are made of special Swedish hardened steel and measure 64 mm. in diameter.
+
Compact Bean Hopper
+
 
+
The bean hopper on the Mini Electronic Type B has a stout design to give it more room to fit under kitchen cabinets. When in place on the grinder, the hopper is just 4 in. tall but it has a large 16 oz. capacity. It can be removed while the beans are still inside, making it easy to switch which beans you’re using. To access the burrs for cleaning, you won’t need any tools. Just turn the adjustment lever clockwise until the whole adjustment lever and attached brass burr hold comes off. You can then inspect and clean the grinding burrs easily.

===Basic Usage===
+
 
+
This video shows the basic function and compares both the Type A and Type B Mazzer Mini Electronic units.

{{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2v8seWSM2I|480|center}}
+
 
+
===Adjusting Grind First Time===
+
 
+
When setting up the machine for the first use the grind should be set to a coarse setting before adding beans into the hopper. Starting the grind out on a fine sitting can result in the grinder becoming blocked or the beans not feeding into the machine properly. In extreme cases, where the burrs are set close enough to touch each other, it can strain the motor and damage the machine.
+
 
+
Once the grinder is set to a coarse setting beans can be added into the hopper. Adjustments in the fine direction should only be made while the burrs are grinding to prevent jams or damage to the burrs or motor assembly.
+
 
+
 
+
== Cleaning & Maintenance ==
+
===Seasoning The Burrs===
+
 
+
If the grinder is new, or the burrs have been recently replaced, the grinder will need to be seasoned. New burrs need time to wear in to a point where they will perform consistently. For most machines it will take at least 4-6 lbs. of coffee for the burrs to become properly seasoned. Conical burrs will take more time to be seasoned than flat burrs.

Find the Right Grind

  1. Grind coffee into the portafilter.
  2. Lock the portafilter into the brew group.
  3. Lift the brew lever all the way up.
    • Aim for 2 to 2.5 oz. in about 25 seconds.
  4. Drink your shot to test.
  5. Repeat until properly motivated to get work done.


The big secret to finding that exact flavor you're after, that big punch-in-the-mouth feel, is dialing in your grind. For a basic rule-of-thumb, a coarser grind makes for a lighter, fluffier coffee, and a finer grind makes for a more intense, flavorful espresso. Check out the video on the right for more info.
