Eureka - Mignon Silenzio

Tbh, I have a Eureka Silenzio (50mm) and its fine. I just said it because it sounded end game. Even $600-$500 grinder would work well.

Picked this up a few months ago. Ewcellent. Replaced my old Baratza vario which crapped out, although "quiet" is a relative term. At least it does not wake the neighbors

Eureka mignon silenzio - around $450, amazing grinder , 0 regrets.

I’m shocked at how quiet the Silenzio is. Coming from BBE grinder (which by all accounts is already decently quiet compared to the Baratza), it’s night and day difference.

Correct. BBE was my daily for the last 10 years.  Then I got the Silenzio about a month ago and still used the BBE to pull shots before my new machine arrived.

I have a Eureka Silenzio that I purchased packaged what an ECM Casa V espresso machine used for $500 for both. I’ve added a bellows and dialing collar to work for single dosing.

Yep, I have two eureka mignons. One is the silenzio for espresso, the other is their filter grinder. Especially with the dial on the mignons, I got fed up redialling when I wanted to swap between brew types. Heck, I’d almost buy a third for a ‘guest bean’ 😂

I think they’re great, I upgraded from a baratza encore. Sometimes on the finer end, the silenzio has some clumping. But that’s just me being a bit off on dialling in. My only real complaint is the dial has a very high learning curve in my opinion

One of the Eurekas - built better than the DF64 for same price (in the states it makes more sense to buy a DF due to price difference ). Specialita. , silenzio, or the zero if you want to single dose etc

I started with a Flair and 1Zpresso Pro and felt that I was making good espresso with decent consistency. Then I upgraded my machine to a Rancilio Sylvia Pro X and my shots got a little better. I finally got tired of hand grinding so I picked up a Eureka Minion Silenzio and, WOW! Not only are these shots better than anything I previously pulled, they are super consistent. I can pull shot after shot after shot and they all come out amazing, and the same. So to answer your question, it’s consistency. Consistent grind size, consistent heat, and consistent pressure. Precision is expensive. If you have any variability in any of those then you will have variability in your shot.

Niche zero is an espresso grinder (so no hopper) but due to its design it operates at a pretty low RPM and is very quiet for a grinder. And the tone is also quite low/different - almost like gravel being rubbed against each other. Also maybe look into the Eureka Silenzio. Look into putting the Grinder inside of a noise dampening enclosure like they have for high powered blenders at smoothies shops. Good luck

I have Eureka Mignon Silenzio and I'm very happy with it. It is consistent and silent. Won't wake up the neighbours in the morning, lol. I usually get one type of beans and stick to it for a good while.
