Eureka Mignon Specialita Espresso Grinder

This grinder is the best that money can buy at this price point. The most quiet I have ever heard.

Great quality grinds, but the ergonomics and usability design leaves much to be desired. It makes the biggest mess I’ve ever had to clean on a consistent basis. The good news it’s that there’s very active members in the 3d printing community that’s designing improvements like single dosing hoppers…. But, for the price, I shouldn’t have to do this.

Purchased this in combo with a new Profitech Pro 600. After debating whether to get this model or the slightly less expensive Eureka Mignon I am so glad I opted for the Specialita. The timer function is invaluable - once you determine how long to grind the specific coffee to get the proper dosage (18 grams, for example) you can just grind away without weighing each and every shot. The micro adjustment of the grinder is amazing. And the modern, sleek styling and home appropriate size is perfect. Also, the machine is very quiet and quite heavy - it does not move around on the counter. The overall quality is superb.

Super level of control and consistency. Quiet. Good seal on the hopper. Would buy again without hesitation.

All in all, I’m pretty impressed with this grinder. I’ve owned more expensive grinders, and find myself liking this one more… The fluffiness of the grounds is pretty phenomenal. The hopper and the lid are pretty cheap flimsy plastic, so that’s not amazing… The grinder is definitely less robust than many, but I would purchase it again.

Thanks to Clive for recommending this grinder over the one I was going to purchase. Easy to use, looks great, and grinds consistently. Worth mentioning that I don’t waste as much coffee beans and their videos on how to use it is good. So take a look and don’t skimp when purchasing a grinder for espresso. You’ll end up wasting a lot beans if you do.

Overall, I like it. I like the compact size, the timer control, the ‘tap to grind’ feature. My one issue is that the coffee sprayed out of the grinder, making a mess. This was fixed nicely with the metal shield that attaches magnetically to the top of the portafilter. Unfortunately it had to be purchased separately.

Solid grinder with very consistent grind quality. It's quiet too. On the timed dosing, the resulting weight can be different depending on the amount of beans in the hopper.

We recently purchased the Profitec GO paired with the Eureka Specialita grinder, and we couldn’t be happier with the setup. This is our first espresso machine and grinder, and after getting everything dialed in, it has been incredibly easy to operate and enjoy on a daily basis.

Paired with the Specialita grinder, the whole setup feels premium, reliable, and very capable. Once you understand the basics and get the grind dialed in, making great espresso becomes a smooth and enjoyable process.

For anyone considering this machine and grinder combo, we definitely feel it is worth the money. It has exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t recommend it enough.

Love it

I love it! I used to have one that would get stuck (i own a small bakery in Iowa) with this grinder is a breeze!

Excellent product

I had the Silenzio, which I recommend way more than this one. When I upgraded, I thought I was going to have a genuinely better version of a great grinder, but I have to use it as a single dose grinder cause it keeps jamming at the next grind if there are beans for more than one dose. Unjamming means that an entire shot is garbage as you have to make the grind super coarse and then dial back in. I really thought I could set the grind size and time and be more or less consistent. There are so many awesome single dose grinder like that I could have gotten if that’s what I wanted.

We have used 2 of these grinders on our coffee carts and although it does produce a consistent grind, it almost daily gets jammed and will not grind. It then requires a thorough cleaning by removing the hopper and vacuuming out the inside really well. The strange thing is it often doesn't look very dirty inside and happens almost daily, even with little use. This makes it a deal breaker regardless of how good it is when it works.

We really loved this grinder initially, but after 7 months of use the LED screen stopped working properly. It sporadically responds to touch, I've tried rebooting the power, pressing double buttons as suggested and it's just crap.
This is not the cheapest grinder, it should last longer

Consistent grind. Easy to clean.

Super adjustable and perfect for espresso. Grounds are very uniform and minimal static. With collar for portafilter it leaves the counter completely clean.

Eureka is renowned for producing top-quality home grinders, with the Specialita model excelling in performance. This grinder operates with impressive speed, generating espresso grinds that are notably fluffy. The implementation of clump crushers by Eureka ensures that the grinds maintain an ideal consistency, thereby reducing the need for extensive distribution techniques to achieve optimal shot quality. One notable advantage of Eureka's grinders is their ease of cleaning. Unlike other grinders, Eureka's models consistently maintain their grind size post-cleaning, minimizing the need for recalibration. Although some minimal retention may occur post-cleaning, this typically dissipates after grinding a small quantity of coffee. The Specialita grinder features 55mm flat steel burrs, which are manufactured in Italy. This size is widely regarded as ideal for home use, as larger burrs may present alignment challenges. However, Eureka meticulously ensures the alignment of the burrs before distribution, mitigating potential issues associated with larger burr sizes. In summary, the Specialita grinder by Eureka is an excellent choice for home use, offering superior build quality and craftsmanship. While it may warrant a higher investment, its performance and durability make it a compelling option for espresso enthusiasts seeking a reliable and consistent grinding experience.

This grinder was a Game Changer for me!

Incredible grinder. Looks great on my counter, grinds quickly and quietly, and the flavor of the espresso is sublime

Absolutely beautiful color. Very effective and consistent grinder. Quick, easy, and fun to use.

Amazing grinder and very quiet.

Every once in a while, when initiating the grinder, the timer runs down without any grinding. Quite odd. We’ve not discovered a consistent reason for this yet. Any ideas from your experience?

Great customer service from Clive Coffee, love the product and happy by your recommendations. Thumbs up as well for tutorial videos.

This grinder was an absolute necessity for me. My shots went from marginal with occasionally acceptable when using my old grinder to usually outstanding since I started using the Specialita. Any time a shot is less than perfect I'm able to figure out a minor operator (yes that would be me) adjustment, and then perfection! This grinder is amazing and most definitely took my shots to the next level.

Absolutely recommend this grinder. This is my upgrade from Baratza Preciso Burr grinder. Just feel the advantages of the bottom steel grinder gives an easily adjustable machine and love how fluffy and lump free the coffee falls into my portafiter. Also I use and like the dual timer,takes no time to dial in an 18 or 20 gram consistent dose of coffee. Would buy again and great service from Clive coffee. Thanks guys love my Eureka!

I've been using the grinder for about a month and I'm very pleased with the results. Touch buttons are very easy to use. Also, I love the small footprint and design. One minor flaw is the grind size adjustment is stepless, if you plan on switching grind size a lot may not be very easy.

This is a beautiful and beautifully performing grinder! The Clive team pointed me toward this model because our small household drinks primarily drip coffee, and once in a while some espresso on the weekends. It is quiet, fast, and was not terribly hard to get the grind right for drip. We haven't tried espresso yet (we are probably going to upgrade our espresso machine soon), but based on the extensive and helpful videos on Clive's site, I am not concerned about getting it just right. I highly recommend reading the tips on minimizing static. One light spritz on the beans before grinding makes an enormous difference in eliminating it.
