I think doing a partial mash is a nice way to get used to the mash process without having to spend time/money on new equipment. Additionally, you're less likely to be too far off your target OG if something goes wrong with the mash, since there's still a fair chunk of fermentables coming from the extract. That alone makes it a nice, unintimidating stepping stone. Finally, a partial mash can be done with ease on a stovetop.I would skip the mini-mash and go straight to all-grain. Since you will be mashing grain for a partial amount of the sugar you need for the beer, you might as well mash the entire amount needed. You will be using for the most part the same equipment.
