The differences that matter
- Adjustment: Vario+ stepped, returns to a known setting fast · Mignon Specialità Smart stepless, allows fine-tuning
- Burrs: Vario+ ceramic, cooler but more brittle · Mignon Specialità Smart hardened steel, more impact-resistant
Which one to choose
Choose Vario+ if…
Stepped adjustment gets you back to a known setting in two clicks, no guesswork — handy if you grind the same blend day after day. Ceramic burrs stay cooler through long sessions.
Choose Mignon Specialità Smart if…
Stepless adjustment lets you fine-tune between clicks, useful when you switch beans often or chase a precise extraction. Hardened steel burrs handle the temperature swings of heavy use better.
