Eureka Mignon Specialita 55 Coffee Grinder

5 Stars

Delivery quick, Quality is very good and is a solid build it’s nice and heavy The grinder is quick and is very quite being the main reason I brought it And compared to a conical from a built in grinder from Breville to a stand alone grinder the taste has been a huge difference

Awesome Machine

Runs quiet, excellent build quality, works really well for Expresso, stepless grind adjustment, very responsive touch screen. Anti static grinder worked well in stopping coffee sticking, has very little retention for single dosing.

Consistent grinds with some usability flaws

After much research and deliberation, I pulled the trigger on the Eureka Mignon Specialita. On initial unpacking, I was impressed with the weight of the machine which reassured me I had bought something built to last. Unfortunately the bean hopper is thin plastic so doesn’t match the quality of the unit itself. The display is crisp and clear but prove fiddly due to their touch design. Setting up the initial grind setting was time consuming, due to inexperience, ordinary instructions, and a dial that effectively free-spins—my major gripe, as I assumed it would have a min and max point but alas it does not. After much trial and error which led to hundreds of grams of wasted beans, I was able to dial it in. It dispenses perfectly ground coffee flawlessly at a reasonable noise level. However, I’m apprehensive switching beans out in case I waste too many dialling it in again. (I’ve since found a helpful YouTube video on how to dial this in quickly and easily.) The options on the screen are valuable and allow you to dial in the right volume by setting a time (again, trial and error is about the only way to fine tune it). Overall, it has produced consistent ground coffee and I expect it to last many years of use.
