Eureka - Mignon Libra

The Eureka Mignon series can take a single dose or larger hopper giving you the ability to switch based on your preference. I have the Libra and added a single dose hopper with bellows for when I want to switch beans.

I love my Libra. I upgraded to an atom 75 and eventually sold it and bought another Libra because I missed it

Have owned all the grinders on your list, at one point or another. Agree that Duo might be your best bet. Ability to play with other 83mm burrs is a good hedge against future curiosity. Recommend getting second (filter) burr option, because having the extra carrier for fast(ish) swaps is nice. Cannot recommend the Eurekas. Good build, very pretty, but burrs are proprietary and the grind chamber/chute design is antediluvian. Fine for hopper base on-demand grinding, but crap for single dosing. Even with the mods (tilted base, bellows), retention is terrible. Eureka’s attempts at single-dosing focused grinders are not honest efforts. Just a new model name and superficial accessories. And their new dial is just…stupid. Still not enough ratio to overcome the thread lash in their adjustment screw. The rev counter is nice enough, but a big dial like [this](https://www.amazon.com/ARO-EspressoTM-Eureka-Mignon-Adjustments/dp/B0CLCB8VQ6/ref=asc_df_B0CLCB8VQ6) is much more effective (and not stupid looking, imho) Libra portafilter contact sensor was unreliable. I heard they fixed it, but I had given up already and moved on. When it worked, it was…ok. Weight accuracy wasn’t bad, but irrelevant because it was a hot mess of sprayed grounds. RDT absolutely necessary in my environment (20-50%RH over the year), but the extra moisture caused caking/clogging in the chute. From a taste perspective…it’s ok. Blendy, decent body, not a lot of clarity. Little unkempt and harsh. Good in milk drinks. Niches — good workflow, probably among the best, even compared against titan grinders at 5x the price. Personally, not a fan of Mazzer burrs. Harsh and bitter finish. The Zero doesn’t have any options for their 63mm conical, so you’re kinda stuck. The stock Duo espresso burr was, to me, a cleaner version of Zero profile. Other options: Mazzer Philos. The grinder itself is a bit pricey, and rumor has it that the i200D and 189D burrs are big improvements over Mazzer traditional flavor profile — but it’s a good platform for 64mm burr space, where you are spoilt for choice and the burrs are cheaper than 83mm. Hope that helps

Eureka Mignon Libra, takes a whole step out of my morning routine

My Eureka Mignon Libra is written "Made in Italy" ok it...

I just got my eureka mignon Libra yesterday. It grinds by weight. Very happy with it so far. They run about $800

The Sette 270Wi is solid if you want grind-by-weight out of the box, but the build quality complaints are real. I've seen a few people go through warranty replacements within the first year. If you can stretch to ~$800 the Eureka Mignon Libra is worth a look. Better build, quieter, and the grind-by-weight dosing is more consistent from what I've seen. My Specialità doesn't have it but every time I weigh my dose I think about upgrading just for the convenience.

Happy with the Libra too. And the price is unbeatable

Hell yes. DF 83 v, Libra, Z1, J Ultra, Kafatek max 3 and Pietro pro. I have 3 set ups. Home, work, vacation. Oops. I have a Timore X Millab too.

Eureka Mignon Libra, got it for grind by weight. cost about €600 at the time.
