Eureka - Mignon Zero

The ARO dial you can find on amazon is amazing for fixing this. Have it on my eureka single dose and wouldn't go back.

Mignon Zero. Because it's robust and reliable and delivers robust and reliable results.

I also have a JX-Pro and transitioned to electric a few years ago. First I went to the Eureka Silenzio, then to the Mignon Zero. If it was today I would avoid any Eureka at all costs, because they are very tricky to dial in, not good to switch beans due to retention and very often frustrating. The only good thing I can think of, is that they are compact, well built and somewhat quiet. The coffee is...good but nothing special. May I suggest considering the Flair Power Tower to electrify your JX-Pro? The JX-Pro gives the same quality if not better than the DF or any Eureka. The Niche is expensive but you pay for the build, presentation and how clean and easy to dial it. Other good contenders are the Baratzas Sette or the cheapest but still good Encore ESP.

I have heard from more than one person that these built-in grinders are really very limiting. My daughter has two children, ages two and four, and she uses a separate grinder with a Breville Bambino— she received them right after the youngest was born— and she’s quite happy with the arrangement. The Profitec Go is gorgeous but perhaps requires more maintenance? I don’t know. Her grinder is a Baratza, which is known for being very loud. Obviously a manual grinder would be as quiet, but if you’re drinking several a day it might get old. Eureka Mignon makes very quiet electric grinders— I have the Eureka Mignon Zero, and I like it very much.

I’ve owned a Baratza Virtuoso (barely adequate, if that), a Turin DF 64 V. 1, a Niche Zero, and the Eureka Mignon Zero. The Turin was more clarity/fruity forward, though not by much, but I sold that for a Niche Zero. I owned them both for a little while and decided to keep the Niche. The Niche was fine—super user friendly, and easy to clean—but for not-particularly-rational reasons I was drawn to the Eureka (for esthetics mainly), so I sold the Niche. The Niche and the Eureka are both quiet, and great for my preference of dark beans and classic Italian espresso—- really, between the two you can't go wrong. But unless you can find a used Niche there's a big price difference. As I reread my post I sound like a person always after the next thing, but I did eventually stop questing something different!

Eureka zero. Within budget and much better built than the DF grinders. Hands down. The DF grinders make more sense in the States where Eureka’s are soooo much more expensive. Over here , I would definitely go Eureka. https://www.coffeefriend.co.uk/p/eureka-mignon-zero-55s-15bl-coffee-grinder-matte-black/ No connection to this shop but I have bought items from them before and super happy. However, the zero is not that easy to change from espresso range to pour over range. Therefore , With the money left over I would get something like a P2 for pour overs etc. In total it will be just over £300 (the P2 is around £22 on AliExpress or £34 from Amazon)

Yeah and in Europe, it makes much more sense to buy Eureka than the DF range as prices are much closer together compared to Stateside where DF makes more sense due to them being that much cheaper than Eurekas. Eurekas are the way to go round this neck of the woods. Built like tanks. Long lasting. Much higher quality compared to DF

Eureka mignon zero has the same silent tech as the Silenzio - pretty much same specs all around except for the digital stuff. And it’s a single doser. On sale for 3-400$

we're very close to the same- I have a Baratza Virtuoso (the old base model that's now discontinued) and the Eureka Mignon Zero for espresso. I have loved the Eureka

I do. I still have my old Baratza Virtuoso that I bought 8 years ago. Still works great and when I have issues, Baratza's service is excellent. I bought a Eureka Mignon Zero a couple years ago, which I use exclusively for espresso, and I use the Baratza for pourover.

I have Mignon Zero and the baratza encore! Can confirm it’s much much much quieter. It made me realize the encore was so loud 😅 Unfortunately, I don’t think you’ll enjoy using it for both espresso and filter because the dial on the mignon zero can make multiple full revolutions so the markers are mostly meaningless (you have to find the “true zero” yourself). Switching back and forth from espresso to filter would be a nightmare. I kept my encore for drip!

I just bought a eureka mignon zero and while it’s only day one I like it so far. I went too fine on my first grind so I know it can get fine enough. Grinds are consistent. The thing is built well it seems. The body is metal not plastic. Take a look at prices near you

Eureka mignon zero 55s. Was about 350 usd

Eureka Mignon Zero. Paid €320 for it. I got the zero because I wanted a single dose grinder that was quiet enough to not put everyone in the apartment on edge. And I could get it for a decent price. Overall I'm very happy, retention is great, it's as quiet as I hoped, grounds are not clumpy at all, and it feels like it's built like a tank.
