Eureka Mignon Specialita black matte – compact espresso grinder with 55mm steel burrs
On the touchscreen you program your dose, set the portafilter into the height-adjustable hands-free fork and press start – the Specialità grinds quietly and stops on its own after the set time. The heavy, sound-insulated metal housing keeps the grinding noise muffled, and the ACE-System lets the grounds fall loosely and without static clumps into the portafilter.
The Mignon Specialità is the best-selling home espresso grinder for portafilter setups – compact and quiet. Coffee Coaching Club carries the Eureka lineup; Eureka has been hand-manufacturing in Florence, Italy since 1920. This version is black matte; the Specialità is also available in chrome and white.
55mm Steel Burrs and Stepless Adjustment
The 55mm flat burrs made of hardened steel grind fast and evenly. The stepless micrometric adjustment – patented by Eureka and guided via the lower burr – allows fine adjustments from espresso to filter, without fixed click stops. Maintenance can be carried out without losing the grind setting.
Touchscreen and Grind by Time
On the touchscreen you program two dosing times in 0.1-second increments plus a manual continuous shot. A barista pause lets you interrupt the grinding process and resume later – the grinder automatically finishes the remaining time on its own. The height-adjustable, rubberized hands-free fork fits all portafilters, including bottomless ones.
Silent Technology and ACE
The sound-insulated metal housing with rubber mounts noticeably dampens the grinding noise – quieter than conventional grinders. The ACE-System (Anti-Clump & Electrostaticity) reduces clumping and static charge, so the grounds fall loosely and with consistent dosing into the portafilter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Specialità Available in Other Colors?
This version is black matte. The Specialità is also available in chrome and white – the grinding mechanism and technology are identical.
Is It Suitable for Single Dosing?
The Specialità grinds from a 300 g bean hopper with timer dosing. Single doses are possible, but retention is higher than with a dedicated Single-Dose grinder. If you change beans constantly, you're better served by a Single-Dose grinder.
How Loud Is It?
Thanks to the sound-insulated metal housing and Silent Technology, noticeably quieter than conventional grinders. The best way to get a real sense of it is in person at the showroom.
Can I See It Before I Buy?
Sure. In Bern and Zürich Oerlikon you can experience the grinder live. Bringing your own beans is welcome.
Roastery Tip
The 55mm steel burrs deliver a clean, balanced espresso. For a round, chocolatey-nutty profile, try Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight. If you're after maximum body without any acidity, go for Very Nutty. Work your way toward your setting in small steps. This is our recommendation, one of many.
