Zero

Agree and Eureka 55s is same price as DF so why should I go with a DF?

Eureka Mignon Zero 55s > DF54 in terms of quality at the same price point

Eureka mignon zero 55 s. Very sturdy and low retention. Impressively Quiet

The 55s is actually made in China for the Asian market I believe. But it is still a solid machine. That’s why it’s also a good chunk cheaper than the other eurekas.

That’s really unfortunate. I’ve personally bought 3 grinders from the current Mignon series, including the first gen Zero, and have had nothing but great experiences with the build quality. They’re basically tanks.

Not sure where you are based I got an Eureka zero 55s for £169 with some vouchers and discounts during black Friday, before that I was considering the Baratza encore ESP, but reading comments of people on the YouTube official video really put me off it lol, it seemed too easy for some parts to break etc. Out of all these I'd consider the DF54 assuming it's a good unit and you get some kind of warranty.

Eureka mignon zero 55s. Was about 350 usd

I upgraded from the k6 after one year. Just got tired of hand grinding. Amazing grinder though I got a eureka mignon zero 55s. (Made for Asian markets) but still an excellent grinder. Built like a tank. Super quick. Quieter than I thought possible. And budget friendly. I think I paid around 350 usd brand new. Eureka has history and you know you are getting quality I would highly recommend. Just takes a bit to dial in with it.

I like my mignon zero 55s. Its the first eureka model produced in their Chinese factory but quality is still flawless. Its a little cheaper than the old zero. Cost me 250€

U need to return it and get the esp …. Or better a eureka zero 55 mm … they have sales on it all the time and it the same internal components / burr geometry as the specialita w out the dose by time option … it produces thick syrupy conical like shots that are wonderful for medium to dark roast coffees . If u are wanting a light roast tho it not big on those fruity notes / clarity but if that not even something u like / want then a zero 55 is wonderful will last u forever !
