Eureka Mignon Specialità review (2026)
Eureka Mignon Specialità is a electric grinder that suits Espresso, Moka pot, AeroPress, Pour-over and French press. From €443.80 delivered to Finland, prices vary by country.
A quiet, stepless espresso grinder with timed dosing that reviewers rate as a reliable daily driver. Retention is low but not zero, and the small adjustment knob and warm running are the catches.
Best for

- Quiet kitchens and early mornings
- Buyers who want timed dosing into the portafilter

Pros and cons
Pros
- Kaffeemacher measured 78.9 dB and counts under 80 dB as quiet.
- Kaffeemacher found excellent shot-to-shot consistency when the setting is not changed.
- Coffee Chronicler calls it one of the best-looking grinders, compact and well built.
- Both reviewers describe low retention, with about 1 g exchanged in the Coffee Chronicler's use.
- Eureka lists a touch display with two programmable doses and a hands-free portafilter fork.
Cons
- Kaffeemacher says the grind knob is too small, causing large shifts per millimetre.
- Kaffeemacher found it poor at returning to a previous setting after changing beans or methods.
- Coffee Chronicler reports popcorning when single dosing and needs a workaround.
- Kaffeemacher notes it runs warm and the plastic hopper can crack with rough handling.
What owners report
- Quiet in daily use. Coffee Chronicler says it will not wake sleeping housemates.
- Small adjustment wheel. Both reviewers want a bigger or better marked wheel for repeating settings.
- Fine grinds sit close to burr rub. Coffee Chronicler says very fine settings, such as Scandinavian espresso, sit close to the point where burrs touch.
What experts measured
- Kaffeemacher measured 78.9 dB, 2.7 g absolute retention, 21.3 g in 10 s and a 0.11 g dose standard deviation.
