Eureka Mignon Specialita Coffee Grinder – Matte Black (Nero Opaco)

Product Information

But your choice of coffee also matters, as does your espresso machine, your puck prep, and myriad other factors. The Mignon grinders have very small retention, in fact, during the Clive Coffee retention comparison experiment they found that the Specialita only retained about 1. Again we've got 50mm hardened steel burrs with the Perfetto model, and the silent technology, but in this model, there's a touch screen display, with two programmable dose timers, and as well as being able to grind on demand by pressing and holding the grinding button, there's a “continuous” option via the touch screen.

That is if you can get hold of one, as they're in huge demand – as soon as the next batch lands in the UK they usually sell out within days. The portafilter cradle is adjustable and designed to work with all sizes of the portafilter, but I haven’t found that to be entirely accurate.If you currently have an entry level grinder from Breville or Baratza you will know the limitations they have. The Specialita is for the person looking to get their first "proper" espresso grinder, upgrade from an entry level one, or wants a quiet coffee grinder (this was my main selling point). These allow you to replace the square hopper with a smaller hopper and bellows that will reduce grind retention almost to zero. Even better, it is available in a range of vivid colours, ensuring there's a Mignon Specialita to suit every taste.

The machine is easy to get going with, and the adjustments required were minimal to get the correct dose and grind (11sec, Monmouth Expresso Beans Medium-Dark).This burr grinder has digital timed dosing with a white on black display, a conveniently placed stepless grind adjustment dial, and superb noise insulation.

To complement our own first hand experience, we draw from reputable sources within the industry, including coffee communities such as the coffee and espresso SubReddits, and a number of specialty coffee forums and private groups.
