Mignon Zero Brew

I looked last year and on balance the eureka brew zero turned out good for what I needed - pour overs. There is no best, just a series of tradeoffs.

I'd go for a Eureka Zero, I love the grind by weight (GBW) workflow and am getting very consistent shots

I’m pretty sure I got my rancilio Silvia and eureka zero for around that much

I agree. I also had an Eureka, the Zero, and it was the most silent I had so far. And the retention doesn't improve with an inclined base. I 3d printed one and tested. Which for me means that Oro is a bit overpriced for the advantages offered when compared to Zero. But probably the grinders with DC motors can be even quieter like the E55. But I don't have experience with any so far.

Avoid the fellow grinders - there are much better ones around. Baratza encore ESP, or, something like a eureka zero , both will be better than the opus *NB the ode is not espresso capable.*

My Eureka Zero has served me pretty well so far too. Basically a single dose version of Specialita

Eureka zero and big grinder setting dial from aro. Easy to switch back and forth with new dial, built like a tank, relatively silent.

I had a Silenzio and now still have the Zero and I have to agree with all you've said. I think the Mignon grinders follow a design that is - set and forget - if you play too much with the dial or if you are single dosing, they become annoying and frustrating machines.
