Eureka Mignon Specialita 55 – Quiet Espresso Grinder with 55mm Burrs
Early morning, the house still quiet – one press of a button, and the grinds fluffily fall into the portafilter, without waking anyone. The Specialita grinds whisper-quietly, thanks to its thick-walled, sound-insulated metal casing. This is how fresh espresso feels, even before the machine is warm.
The Mignon Specialita is the home espresso grinder from Eureka's Mignon series with the largest burrs in the series. As a partner of Eureka, we offer it in many housing colors. It is manufactured in Florence.
What makes the Specialita special
55mm flat burrs made of hardened steel
The largest burrs in the Mignon range draw beans through quickly and coolly, delivering an even particle distribution – the basis for clean, dense espresso.
Whisper-quiet
A sound-insulated metal housing with rubber mounts significantly reduces grinding noise – one of the quietest grinders of its kind. You can pull a shot at six in the morning without waking the house.
ACE System
The Anti-Clump & Electrostaticity System reduces static charge in the grinds. The result: fluffy, clump-free powder and an even dose in the basket.
Stepless adjustment
The patented micrometric adjustment allows stepless fine-to-coarse adjustment. Because it's located below the grinding mechanism, your setting remains even after cleaning.
Touchscreen dosing
Via the digital touch display, you can program two timer doses precisely to the tenth of a second or grind manually on demand.
Adjustable hands-free fork
The height-adjustable portafilter fork fits common portafilters and keeps your hands free while the grinder dispenses.
Espresso in focus, filter included
The Specialita is built as an espresso grinder: the flat 55mm burrs provide a particularly even grind in the fine range, with low retention – ideal for grinding pre-weighed doses. The grinding capacity is around 1.4 to 1.8 grams per second for espresso and 1.9 to 2.5 grams per second for filter coffee. With espresso, there is no "right" or "wrong": grind size, dose, and ratio are parameters you adjust to suit your taste. A good starting point is 1:2, i.e., about 18g of coffee grounds to about 36g of espresso.

Who it's for
For anyone who wants clean, consistent espresso at home and is looking for a grinder that operates quietly and lasts for years. The Specialita is the perfect companion for any portafilter machine with a 58mm portafilter – whether you're setting up your first proper espresso grinder or upgrading from a smaller one. No grinder is too much or too little here; it depends on what you're looking for in your cup.
What goes with it
The Specialita harmonizes with machines from the ECM, Profitec, Rocket Espresso, or La Marzocco collection; for lever extraction Flair Espresso. For puck preparation, a dosing funnel or WDT tool from the Normcore range is suitable. A scale completes the workflow – affordable from the Normcore range or with app and flow rate display from the Acaia collection. Matching containers, dosing cups and a single-dosing kit can be found in our Eureka collection. Plus fresh beans from our coffee bean selection.

Roastery Tip
For the Specialita and a dense, balanced espresso, Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight are perfect – chocolatey, nutty, full-bodied. If you're looking for maximum body without acidity, go for Very Nutty; for a fruity, bright experience, Wild Peach is worth trying. Adjust your settings in small steps. All beans can be found in our coffee bean selection. This is our recommendation, one of many.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Eureka Mignon Specialita 55
Is the Specialita really that quiet?
Yes. The thick-walled, sound-insulated metal housing with rubber mounts significantly reduces grinding noise – it is one of the quietest grinders in its class. In the showroom, it operates without disturbing a conversation.
Is it for espresso or also for filter coffee?
It is built as an espresso grinder and excels in that area. Through its stepless adjustment, it also covers the filter range; the grinding capacity is around 1.4 to 1.8 g/s for espresso and 1.9 to 2.5 g/s for filter coffee.
What is the ACE System?
ACE stands for Anti-Clump & Electrostaticity. It reduces static charge in the ground coffee, so the powder falls fluffily and clump-free into the portafilter – ensuring a consistent dose.
Can I lose the setting when cleaning?
No. The micrometric adjustment is located below the grinding mechanism, so your grind setting is retained when disassembling and cleaning.
