Grinders / Eureka Mignon Zero 55S

Eureka Mignon Zero 55S review (2026)

Updated 2026-10-20 · Based on 4 cited sources.

Eureka Mignon Zero 55S is an electric grinder that suits Espresso, Moka pot, AeroPress and Pour-over. From €249 delivered to Lithuania, prices vary by country.

Budget single-dose 55 mm flat grinder, cool and quick, with about 2.7 g retention.

Kaffeemacher calls it the well-rounded affordable pick: easy to handle and cool-running. Catches: 2.7 g measured retention, 83 dB with coffee, and compromises with lighter roasts.

Best for

  • Espresso drinkers on a budget
  • Single-dose users who change beans often
  • Kitchens with little counter space

Skip if

  • You want zero retention without tilting or brushing
  • You mostly brew light roasts
  • You want a quiet grinder

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Tests show 18 g in 10.5 seconds and a grinding temperature of 28.9 °C, the coolest of the three Zeros tested.
  • Tests show a standard deviation of 0.05 g over five grinds, which a reviewer calls good consistency.
  • A King Size dial and a start lever come as standard on the 55S.
  • A reviewer describes the 55 mm burr profile as full-bodied and dense, a safe all-round choice for medium and darker roasts.
  • The 55S carries Eureka's 10-year warranty on the motor.

Cons

  • Tests show 2.7 g absolute retention, of which 1.6 g is permanent, so it is not a zero-retention grinder.
  • Tests show 83.1 dB with coffee in the chamber, well above the 51 to 64.5 dB the maker states.
  • A reviewer calls the 55 mm profile workable, with some compromises, for lighter roasts.

What owners report

  • Retention claims differ. Kitchen Barista says retention is typically under 0.2 g and Whole Latte Love says within 0.2 g, with no method named. Kaffeemacher measured 2.7 g under its stricter protocol.
  • A tilt and a brush help. Kaffeemacher says tilting the grinder forward nearly halves the exchangeable retention on the Zero line, and advises cleaning every one to two weeks.
  • Built in China. Kaffeemacher notes the 55 S comes from Eureka's factory in China, unlike the classic Zero, and sees no quality difference in its measurements.
  • Handling is the upgrade. Kaffeemacher says the 55 S wins on handling, price and running cool rather than on retention. Espresso Coffee Shop adds a 150 g smoked hopper and a redesigned airflow insert.

What experts measured

  • Kaffeemacher measured 83.1 dB, 10.5 s for 18 g, 2.7 g absolute retention and a grinding temperature of 28.9 °C.
  • Kaffeemacher measured a standard deviation of 0.05 g over five grinds.
