Eureka Mignon Specialità – quiet espresso grinder with 55mm burrs
The Eureka Mignon Specialità is a quiet espresso grinder with 55mm flat burrs in hardened steel, a touch display and stepless adjustment.
Eureka places it in the Silent Range of the Eureka 1920 line and calls it one of the best-known Mignon models. It is built by Eureka in Sesto Fiorentino near Florence. As a partner of Eureka, we carry it in many housing colours: buy the Eureka Mignon Specialità in Switzerland, online or in Bern and Zurich.
Features of the Mignon Specialità
Quiet
Eureka's Silent Technology lowers the grinding noise with an anti-vibration system. According to the data sheet, this puts the grinder around 20 dB below conventional grinders, with no loss in grinding performance.
Fast
55mm burrs in hardened steel and a powerful motor grind quickly and evenly. Eureka states 1.8 to 2.5 g/s for espresso.
Versatile
The adjustable hands-free fork holds most portafilters securely. You grind directly into the portafilter and keep your hands free for the next step.
Touch display
On the touch display you set the grind time and adjust the dose to your recipe: two programmable doses, fine correction of the grind time with plus and minus, and the Extra Dose function.
Stepless micrometric adjustment
The system patented by Eureka offers infinite adjustment points. It moves the lower burr, so your grind setting is preserved during maintenance and cleaning.
The details in everyday use
ACE system
According to Eureka, the Anti-Clump & Electrostaticity system prevents clumps in the grounds and regulates the coffee output.
Quick maintenance
The burr carrier comes out by loosening 9 screws. This lets you clean and change the burrs quickly.
Microswitch on the fork
You start grinding with a durable microswitch on the fork or directly on the display.
Range of use
Eureka recommends the Specialità for all brewing methods: Turkish, espresso, moka, drip and French press. We set extraction by weight ratio, with 1:2 as the starting point. Grind size and dose are dials to adjust, not laws.

Who the Specialità is made for
For everyone looking for a quiet grinder at home with timer dosing that grinds directly into the portafilter. The fork holds most portafilters, so the Specialità suits many portafilter machines. You will find more models in our coffee grinder collection.
Our consultation tool helps you choose a grinder and machine. A consultation appointment is free of charge, in the showroom, by phone or virtually. If you want to test grinders directly side by side, book the Espresso Machine and Grinder Comparison in the Showroom. Eureka is on display in the Zurich Oerlikon showroom. Both are an option, not a requirement.
What goes with it
You will find machines in the ECM, Profitec, Rocket Espresso and La Marzocco collections, and for lever extraction at Flair Espresso. The consultation tool compares the machine types.
For everyone who wants an affordable, precise scale: Normcore. If you want an app, Bluetooth and a flow-rate display: Acaia. The same goes for tampers and WDT tools: Normcore or Weber Workshops.

Roastery tip: For dense, full-bodied espresso from the Specialità, we roast Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight. Very Nutty brings maximum body without acidity. If you want to discover something fruity, you will find it in Wild Peach. Other beans work just as well. That's our recommendation, one of many.
