Eureka Mignon Specialita 18WD, Black Matt

Eureka Mignon Specialita Matte Black – compact espresso grinder with 55 mm 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 casing keeps the grinding noise damped, and the ACE system lets the grounds 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 grinders in Florence, Italy since 1920. This version is Matte Black; the Specialità is also available in Chrome and White.

55 mm Steel Burrs and Stepless Adjustment

The 55 mm flat burrs made of hardened steel grind quickly and evenly. The stepless micrometric adjustment – patented by Eureka and controlled 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 can program two dosing times in 0.1-second increments plus a manual continuous dispense. A barista pause allows you to interrupt the grinding process and continue 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 casing with rubber mounts significantly dampens the grinding noise – quieter than conventional grinders. The ACE system (Anti-Clump & Electrostaticity) reduces clumping and static charge, ensuring the grounds fall loosely and consistently into the portafilter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Specialità available in other colors?

This version is Matte Black. 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 300g bean hopper with timer dosing. Single doses are possible, but retention is higher than with a dedicated single-dose grinder. If you constantly switch beans, a single-dose grinder is a better choice.

How loud is it?

Thanks to its sound-insulated metal casing and Silent Technology, it's significantly quieter than conventional grinders. The best way to get an accurate impression is to experience it in person at the showroom.

Can I see it before buying?

Of course. You can experience the grinder live in Bern and Zurich Oerlikon. Bringing your own beans is welcome.
