Eureka Mignon Specialita

When espresso is your main brew and you want finer, more repeatable dialling than a stepped grinder allows, the Eureka Mignon Specialita is the step-up pick. Its 55mm flat hardened-steel burrs and stepless micrometric adjustment out-resolve the conical, stepped Baratza and Sage for espresso, giving more flavour clarity and more precise dialling, which is exactly why it can command its higher price. Digital timed and programmable dosing, a hands-free portafilter fork, and anti-clump, anti-static (ACE) handling streamline daily use, and its heavy noise insulation is why UK reviewers rate it notably quieter than most espresso grinders, a real plus in flats and open-plan kitchens. It carries a 2-year UK back-to-base warranty and is an indicative £369 (on sale from £399) at UK specialist Bella Barista, with price varying by colour finish. It sits below the Baratza only on value and versatility: it is espresso-focused, hopper-fed with some retention, and not the pick for filter-only drinkers or single-dosers.
