Their burrs share a character — this choice will not change the shape of your cup.
Only the P0: a single-dose workflow.
Where they tie: brew range · built to last · value per dollar — don’t let a spec sheet invent a difference.
On the counter
The size difference, to scale
So — which one?
Take the Mini Mill Slim if —
- It has to just work, every day
Take the P0 if —
- There are sleepers to protect
- The difference stays in your pocket — or goes into beans
- You weigh every dose anyway
Both columns reading true? Take the P0 and put the difference into fresh, roast-dated beans — they move the cup more than this choice will.
Known weak points
P0
Conical burr drift over time; handle durability complaints in budget hand-grinder forums; inconsistent grind texture for espresso despite conical design.
