Should you buy the Eureka Mignon Specialita?
The Eureka Mignon Specialita is for an espresso drinker who pulls shots every day, wants a quiet grinder with a hopper and cares about fit and finish. At $549.00 it ranks #5 of 10 in our Coffee & Espresso Grinders category. The MiiCoffee DF64 II gives bigger 64mm burrs for $399.00 if you are happy to single-dose. The Breville Smart Grinder Pro covers espresso for $199.95 with less refinement.
Where it earns its score
- Build quality. Handbuilt in Florence, Italy, it earns a quality score of 92, the highest in this category.
- Quiet. A sound-insulated case keeps the grind quieter than most espresso grinders, which matters at 6 a.m.
- Stepless precision. 55mm flat burrs with stepless adjustment let you make fine changes when dialing in espresso.
- Keeps your setting. The bottom burr adjust means you do not lose your grind setting when you pull the burrs to clean.
What to know first
- Warranty is the lowest factor at 55. US sellers list 1 year of coverage; confirm the term with the seller before you buy.
- Most expensive here. At $549.00 it costs $150 more than the MiiCoffee DF64 II, which has bigger burrs.
- Seller is not clearly Amazon. The listing did not clearly name Amazon as the seller on our check, so review who ships it and the return terms.
