I don't have the dimensions handy or them handy (at work) but I do know that the diameter is smaller on mini. I realized this too late when I was making something and wondered why the shells they were making seemed too small and had so much dough left over. I don't recommend mini for what calls for regular.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the size difference between the Measure All and Mini-Measure All?
The Measure All is designed to hold up to 2 cups (16 ounces) of liquid or dry ingredients, while the Mini-Measure All can hold up to 1 cup (8 ounces). This makes the Measure All suitable for larger quantities, while the Mini-Measure All is perfect for smaller tasks.
Can I use the Mini-Measure All for the same tasks as the Measure All?
While the Mini-Measure All can be used for many of the same tasks, it is best suited for smaller measurements. If you need to measure larger quantities, the Measure All is the better choice.
Are the measurement markings the same on both the Measure All and Mini-Measure All?
Yes, both the Measure All and Mini-Measure All feature clear measurement markings on the side, but the Mini-Measure All has markings that go up to 1 cup, while the Measure All goes up to 2 cups. This allows for precise measurements according to the size of the measuring cup.
Is the design of the Measure All and Mini-Measure All the same?
Both the Measure All and Mini-Measure All share a similar design, featuring a clear body with a flexible silicone bottom for easy pouring. However, the Mini-Measure All is smaller and more compact, making it easier to store and handle for smaller quantities.
Which one should I choose for my kitchen?
If you frequently measure larger quantities or cook for a family, the Measure All is likely the better option. However, if you often prepare smaller meals or need a measuring cup for quick tasks, the Mini-Measure All would be more convenient.
