Mignon Libra

I always say Eureka Mignon Libra, now $800. I have a 16 month old 55mm version, still flawless operation, zero retention, can walk up and have the shot in 10 seconds. The hopper holds a 12 oz bag, which assumes you'll drink that in a week or less so as not to go stale. Grind is very quiet, build is

Love my Mignon Libra (original 55mm, now $800?!), but Eureka sells cheaper Mignon options ($400). Whole Latte Love sells refurbished, as does Amazon. Most Mignons now have sound attenuation treatment by default. (They used to advertise it only for better models.) Mine is pretty quiet, although I've

The grinder is the most important thing, more than the machine. But good ones are expensive. There are many recommended here, but I always recommend Eureka Mignons for their heavy, commercial look, reliability, and overall good grind. But they have a very big range of models. A Zero is cheapest for

So, the grinder is setup and grinding. Coming from a Eureka Specialita Turbo no tears yet. Look, I enjoy gatekeeping from time to time as much as the next guy. I get it, it's not a $3K Mahlkonig, it's not built as robustly as commercial machines, and the location of final assembly is different. Havi

Grind by Weight Mühle, zB Eureka Mignon Libra kombiniert mit einer fellow aiden oder Mokkamaster bringt wahrscheinlich top Kaffee hervor wenn die Bohnen auch entsprechend was taugen. Und der Aufwand ist fern von jeder Siebträger, Bohnen in den Hopper, gewünschte Menge auf Knopfdruck mahlen, in die K

I’m team purge, otherwise the first coffee is noticeably different. I’m on Mignon Libra. TBH for one coffee per day I would probably go with a hand grinder, I use K-Ultra when drinking something else than my daily driver, during holidays I would crank out 8 shots per day for a week or two, the downs

I like mine a lot, however, I have a few caveats. The small burrs are a limitation in grind speed, it often takes 15-20 seconds to grind 20g of espresso quality grounds The proprietary burr size means limited options for replacement and/or upgrades You should invest in the larger grind adjustment wh

Congratulations! I got the Synchronika 2 and mignon Libra ap for it's GBW. I love the setup but I see an upgraded grinder in the 1-2 yr future just something that grinds faster still gbw.

I'm a beginners as well, but my impression from multiple failed sour shots, is that filling the portafilter enough is pretty important for the taste. I have Eureka mignon libra and profitech 600. The grinding setting has to be just right, I my experience. It can be real finnicky.

The Casa sits between the Mignon Libra and Atom 65 W. It's much more robust than the Mignon and a solid choice for a home grinder, while the 65 W is suitable for small cafe work.
