Eureka - Mignon Zero 65 All Purpose (AP)

Since the tariff made the the niche zero too expensive i ended up getting the eureka zero 65 which I really like so far, but don't have anything to compare it to except the baraza. TBH just liked the look over the DF64 (and i heard it was loud). I still use the old grinder for drip now since it doesnt really take up any extra usable space, the way its setup.

Eureka Mignon Zero 65 with Black Diamond Espresso Specialty burrs and Comandante C40 for pour overs

The df 64 will do both, it’s a pain in the ass to switch between grind sizes all the time though. Id honestly get a df64 and a cheaper one for regular drip coffee. I used to have a df64 for espresso and a capresso grinder for drip. It worked well. I now use my df64 for drip and a libra ap for espresso.

I have a Eureka zero AP65 for a month now (450€), and I think it's underrated by most people. I really enjoy it

1zpresso K ultra (250) and Eureka Mignon zero 65 AP (500) and love both of them. The hand grinder is great and probably the best option hand grinder wise for filter in my opinion unless you are looking for more clarity (yet more difficult to dial in) then go with ZP6 I guess. It is also great on the go for aeropress and I am yet to get a bad cup out of it. the Mignon is for home brewing (mainly espresso but occasional filter as well) and is a great all round performer. Built very well and hopefully will last me a long time.

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.

On the bar is a Eureka A65 that is dialed in for espresso. Don't want to mess with that. It is dedicated to espresso. Next to it is a Niche Zero that handles pour overs, AeroPress, and the ocassional request for decaf espresso. It's marvelous. I also have a Mahlkonig K35 that I need to get dialed in or it needs to get off the bar. It has not been very cooperative so far! And I have a hand grinder for travel.

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
