Eureka Mignon Specialita Espresso Grinder

The Eureka Mignon Specialita walks the line between a focus on grind quality and unprecedented convenience for the home barista. The grinder starts with Eureka’s attention to internals, coupling a 55mm flat burrset to a stepless grind system that adjusts from below the motor to make cleaning and disassembly easier. This winning combo comes ensconced in a sound-insulating case of thick metal mated with rubber mounts and gaskets that reduce the sound of crushing beans to a whisper. Finally, a programmable touchscreen makes it easy to set your espresso dose for easy accuracy.

Features and Functionality

Silenced Grind – A sound-insulated case helps keep the Specialita quieter than most.
Touchscreen Controls – Adjust your grind time for single, double and continuous modes with a backlit resistive touchscreen.
55mm Stepless Burrs – With the biggest burrs available on a Mignon; these hardened steel flat burrs make short work of coffee beans.

Bottom Burr Adjust – By adjusting the grind from below the motor mount, the Specialita preserves your grind setting between disassemblies.
New Chute – A wider chute design with Eureka’s anti-clumping system makes for fluffier grounds.

Pros

Better Burrset – It sounds like a small upgrade, but the grind quality with the Specialita’s 55mm burrs is a nice step up from the Mignon’s stock 50mm discs.
Touchscreen – While a monochrome screen sounds a little dated, the high contrast and large digits make it exceptionally usable without looking out of place.
Size – It’s tough to find a grinder actually sized for the home kitchen that works as well as the Specialita.

Cons

Touchscreen – The touchscreen is resistive, meaning it has a soft, flexible screen. You’ll need to take care to press lightly.
