Eureka Mignon Specialita 18WD, chrome

Eureka Mignon Specialita Chrome – compact espresso grinder with 55mm steel burrs

You program your dose on the touchscreen, place the portafilter in the height-adjustable hands-free fork and press start – the Specialità grinds quietly and stops automatically after the set time. The heavy, sound-insulated metal housing keeps the grinding noise muffled, and the ACE system allows the powder to fall loosely and without static clumps into the portafilter.

The Mignon Specialità is Eureka's best-selling home espresso grinder – compact, quiet, and designed for portafilter espresso. Coffee Coaching Club carries the Eureka range; Eureka has been handcrafting in Florence, Italy, since 1920. This version is chrome; the Specialità is also available in matte black and white.

55mm steel burrs and stepless adjustment

The 55mm flat burrs made of hardened steel grind quickly and evenly. The stepless micrometric adjustment – patented by Eureka and guided via the lower burr – allows for fine adjustments from espresso to filter, without fixed detents. Maintenance can be performed without losing the grind setting.

Touchscreen and Grind by Time

Via the touchscreen, you program two dosing times in 0.1-second increments plus a manual continuous shot. A barista pause allows you to interrupt the grinding process and resume it later – the grinder automatically finishes the remaining time. 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 significantly dampens the grinding noise – quieter than conventional grinders. The ACE system (Anti-Clump & Electrostaticity) reduces clumps and static charge, so the ground coffee falls loosely and with dose consistency into the portafilter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Specialità available in other colors?

This version is Chrome. The Specialità is also available in Matte Black and White – the grinding mechanism and technology are identical.

Is it suitable for single dosing?

The Specialità grinds from a 300g bean hopper with timer dosing. Single doses are possible, but retention is higher than with a dedicated single-dose grinder. Those who constantly change beans are better off with a single-dose grinder.

How loud is it?

Thanks to the sound-insulated metal housing and Silent Technology, it is significantly quieter than conventional grinders. You'll get the best impression in person at the showroom.

Can I see it before buying?

Gladly. In Bern and Zurich Oerlikon, you can experience the grinder live. Bringing your own beans is welcome.
