Hi folks: quick question-my 11 yr. old Mini needs new burrs. Any significant advantage to replacing them with Majors or Jollys instead of the Minis?
Thanks,

You can't fit the Major's burrs in there. So that narrows your choice.

I recently added SJ Burrs to my Mini, but I had an SJ burr carrier available. That made it simple, but it can be done with the Mini burr carrier.

Sj burrs (33m) will grind faster, give you fluffier grind but might stall once a while when "not break in". Be sure to do the 20on 40 off duty cycle if you do the change.
As for the fit, you might need an sj burr carrier as yours are not 64mm. For my mini e, it was the best upgrade possible and I would not go back with the stock ones.

SJ burrs aren't 33mm.

0189D are for mini e(the stock ones that I replaced) and purchase Mazzer 33M, I never took of sj from original grinder but they are the one given to me by my mazzer distributer. Sponser on this site that sells them advertise 33m as sj so :shock:

There are NO Super Jolly burrs that are 33mm, they are 64mm. The internal diameter is 37mm. The 0189D is the Mazzer part number for the Mini burrs, they aren't 33mm either.

The Mazzer Mini burrs (Non-E) are 33mm on their internal diameter.

:shock: I SURRENDER! Your collective expertise is sufficiently intimidating that I've decided to do nothing until my coffee IQ rises to a room temperature level. In the meantime, I'll continue to read your posts and try to evolve. Learned a lot here so far, so there's hope...
