The Eureka Mignon Specialita is a top-notch coffee grinder that delivers precision and excellence. Packed with impressive features, it's a must-have tool for coffee lovers and professionals.

After years spent perfecting their craft, the Italian artisans at Eureka have engineered a solution built to exceed even the highest expectations of espresso experts: the Mignon Specialista, a coffee grinder dedicated to providing the most precise grinding around, making it the perfect addition to any espresso enthusiast's kitchen. The Mignon Specialista doesn't mess around, focusing all its energy on delivering top-notch results.

Its low-noise, high-torque motor paired with professional-grade flat burrs transform beans into a perfectly uniform texture, dose after dose. With its 55mm flat burrs, the Eureka Mignon Specialita ensures top-quality coffee grounds that bring out the best in your coffee cup. You can easily adjust the grind size to match your preferred brewing method thanks to its stepless grind system.

With micro-adjustable settings, pre-programmed doses are easy to obtain. Entire portafilters are filled in a jiffy, and there's no burnt taste at all. I find positions 25-35 best complement my personal preferences, whether light and fruity or dark and viscous. 

Plus, the grinder has a touchscreen interface that's simple to use. You can program your desired espresso dose conveniently. The monochrome touchscreen with large digits ensures easy visibility and precise control over your grind settings.

In addition, the Eureka Mignon Specialita's wider chute design and anti-clumping system give you fluffy and consistent grounds. It prevents clumps in the portafilter, making the brewing process smoother.

The grinder's stepless bottom burr grind adjust system allows for precise adjustments without losing your settings when you need to clean it. It has a spacious bean hopper for your coffee beans, keeping them fresh and easily accessible.

Beyond unrivaled grind quality, it's built to last. The parts are all placed where they should be, making it easy to keep clean and running like new for years to come. In general, the Eureka Mignon Specialita has a compact design that fits well in any coffee setup. The thick cast aluminum body reduces noise and helps retain the freshness of each grind. Rubber mounts and gaskets minimize vibrations, ensuring a quiet grinding process.

The all-purpose adjustable "hands-free" fork lets you grind directly into various portafilter sizes. The stepless micrometric regulation system allows for precise adjustments to match your brewing preferences.

And with minimal upkeep, you're paying less for that long-lasting espresso perfection!
