Subject: Mazzer & Rio grinders
|
OK, I understand that the Rio Normale is a Mazzer Super Jolly; what I can't
figure out is what makes the Rio worth ~$450 more than the Mazzer? Maybe I'm
missing something, and if so I'd really like to know because I have a
handful of people & organizations that are in need of new grinders. Is a Rio
really worth the extra $$ or is it all in the name, as I suspect?

Hi Rob, I have an old rebadged Rio Mazzer (Major) & the spec rating for
it @ 110v is 7.5 A & that's 825 watts. Here
http://www.chriscoffee.com/products/home/grinders/mazzer_major_espresso_grinder
you can see the rating on the new models is only 650W, or 5.9A. I'd say
the same is true for your Rio Normale SJ, a higher motor wattage
outputas compared to the new models 350W (3.18A) output stated here:
http://www.chriscoffee.com/products/home/grinders/mazzer_super_jolly_espresso_grinder
What's the amperage rating on the spec plate?, then of course you'll
then know the motors wattage output.
The older units have more oomph. In my case, 27% more power/torque.
Cheers,
Craig.

hey Graig, you might remember my Rio Super Jolly it says 5 Amps on it.

No sorry Sylvain, I don't remember., but thanks for the amperage check
on that! {;-) 5A x 110v rating plate (My line voltage is a lot more than
this in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is 550 watts as compared to my spec
listed below for a new Mazzer SJ 350W (3.18A) output.
My line voltage is actually 119.7V so my power to my Rio Mazzer Major
would actually be 897.75 watts & not 823 watts on the bottom side spec
plate rating of 110V with 7.5 amps.

Thanks to everyone for the info. I think the Mazzer will fit in nice with
the old farts group needs just fine.
