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.

Another detail: I 3d printed an inclined base for my Eureka Zero and it didn't make any difference in retention, which by the way is very low.

I bought the Eureka Mignon Zero 65 AP from Clive Coffee, on their advice after hearing about my experience with the DF54. Quite a bit more expensive, but I have been completely satisfied. Grinds to almost infinite differences, nearly no retention and certainly no mess. Comes with a fitted top for the dosing cup. I use no water spray at all on the beans—I mean, come on, does anybody think it seems sensible to add water to beans prior to putting them in a grinder??? I have cleaned it out a couple of times just to maintain it, but I find very little build up. Super happy with the investment, lesson learned.

Eureka Mignon Zero 65AP. Awesome in every way.

I bought the Eureka Mignon Zero 65 AP. It’s been perfect: no clogging, very little retention and seemingly infinite range of grinds. Can’t believe the difference with the DF54, to be honest.

I’ve got an atom w75 and a libra ap65 with black diamond Italian espresso burrs. The grinds are fluffier with the w75, and the screen interface is definitely nicer and more modern. But taste wise, I can’t really tell the difference between them with medium and dark roasts. I haven’t done light roasts with either yet. If you’re planning on doing more light roasts, I’d go with the ap65 and swap in the black diamond espresso specialty burrs, that way you can enjoy the light roasts more.

Because you can readily get the black diamond espresso specialty burrs in 65mm which is recommended for light roasts, so the Libra Ap 65. But if you want to burn more cash, get the w75 and the black diamond espresso specialty burrs in 75mm

I have first hand experience with both grinders. Just not with light roasts, since I prefer medium and dark roasts. My recommendation was based on the machines plus the ability to swap the burrs for your preference of lighter roasts. If not, it’s a fairly short list of GBW grinders that are suited for light roasts and in that price range which you should consider.

I do prefer the larger knob on the AP65, but the W75 also has markings to keep track as well. Granted, I'm not really making drastic changes on either one. I just make small adjustments every now and then.

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

I have the Eureka Mignon Zero 65. It's built like a tank, is surprisingly quiet, and makes nice espresso. I haven't seen any reason to complain about build quality yet. Retention is minimal if you give the bellows a good push every time. It's not a $3000 grinder but it's a lot of grinder for the money.

Just got Eureka Mignon Zero 65AP. Pretty happy with it so far. Still need to try some light roast with it.
