The counter’s vote
Looks barely figure in either machine’s record — the counter can sit this one out.
Mini: Visually utilitarian; no design-driven purchases reported — appreciated for solidity on the counter, not aesthetics.
Pro T64: Appliance-neutral industrial form; no design-driven purchase narrative detected in community record.
Where they tie: espresso duty · brew range · reliability record · 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 if —
- Syrupy, traditional cups are the goal
- The difference stays in your pocket — or goes into beans
Take the Pro T64 if —
- Bright, separated cups are the goal
Measured, they're the same machine in different shells. Take the Mini and put the difference into fresh, roast-dated beans.
Known weak points
Mini
Worn burrs after heavy use require replacement; motor can seize if neglected; noisy operation typical but not a failure mode.
