Product Information

By providing Authority to Leave you agree that the parcel is deemed to have been received when left at your premises. The tilted base is an easy way to overcome the one major complaint with the grind quality. Flavor Profile and Use Cases It features 50mm flat hardened steel burrs, and as with the brew pro, these are slightly modified from the more espresso specialist burrs, with a slight bias towards brew rather than espresso. If you can tolerate the smaller 50mm burr and don’t mind not having a touchscreen, we recommend the Mignon Silenzio, which is not as expensive.

It is always exhilarating to slice open the tape and hope our expectations are about to be met. Inside the box, Eureka has the grinder and associated parts nestled into fitted pieces of foam. There are not many parts. The grinder, the hopper with lid, and the portafilter fork was detached from the machine.

The Specialista was particularly quiet, due in part to the silent technology present in all of the models I've mentioned above except Crono, but from what I can gather the Crono is quiet too, compared to other grinders. To remove the top burr from the grind chamber, unscrew these three Philips head screws. Before you remove, use a sharpie to mark the orientation of of the burr holder. This is important as you do not want your grinder to become out of alignment. It might not be perfectly aligned but I always mark mine as shown. When you tighten the screws again for reassembly be careful as the top plate and the grind chamber is aluminum. You do not want to bend the burr holder or strip a screw. Eureka Mignon is one of the top household automatic grinders on the market. Specialita is the newest and the highest version of the Mignon range. The grinder is compact and suitable for various brewing methods, from espresso to French press, and provides consistent grinding. The Eureka Mignon Specialita is a compact coffee grinder. It has the design of a larger commercial grinder but is only about one foot tall and 5 in. wide. The square bean hopper is plastic and can hold 300g, which is less than a full 12 oz. bag of coffee beans. The entire grinder weighs about 12 lbs., which is fairly light considering the powerful motor required for a flat burr coffee grinder. The body is mostly aluminum, so it has a sturdy feel despite its lightweight feel.

The Eureka Mignon Specialita Coffee Grinder features a crisp new touch-screen with 2 Programmable doses, total control of grinding time and also a continuous mode.

Here's what our customers have been saying about us...

You can get hold of the Mignon grinders, and many more, from my friends at Shop Coffee – the retail side of coffee world in Cambridge.

Being short is a big plus for our kitchen, we don't have much space on the worktops under the cupboards, so I struggle with taller grinders. I've used the Eureka Atom 65 too, and that was a struggle to fit under the cupboards, which meant having to use the grinder quite a distance from the espresso machine. There’s a broader spectrum of flavors compared to the conical burrs, especially when it comes to aftertaste and the more fruity notes.This is really what you're looking for when grinding for espresso, nice fluffy grinds without clumping – and this is what I experienced with the Mignon Specialita, lovely fluffy clump free grounds. Older espresso grinders are not built for domestic use because they hold many grinds even after you’ve finished grinding. However, since the Niche Zero came along with its emphasis on low retention, many other home grinders now concentrate on low retention too.
