Mignon Specialita

imo, for a grinder to rlly last well, burr type and grind consistency are the two things worth obsessing over. flat burrs >> conical for espresso generally, and single dosing is a game changer if you're pulling different beans regularly imo. niche zero gets recommended a lot and for good reasons ngl

Had the same set up. When with a eureka mignon specialita and the improvement was pretty significant

Ive been using the Profitec Go now for 2 ½ months, together with the Eureka Mignon Specialita grinder. At first I was also considering getting the Gaggia and then tuning it with Gaggiuino, but in the end I decided that I would rather not play around with the electronics. I just wanted to have a good

Five years out of a Barista Pro is about average. The 5-second shutoff is usually a failing solenoid valve or a clogged flow meter, and Breville repair costs often hit $150-250 which is hard to justify on a machine that may have other components aging out. At $1000, you're in a really good spot for

I used to own both a Eureka Mignon Specialita and a Niche Zero. Any Eureka Mignon grinder with the OG 55mm espresso burrs will taste similar to a Niche Zero.

Look at Eureka Libra for GBW if that seems appealing. Otherwise consider the Encore ESP / new fellow opus gen 2 / ESP Pro / Eureka Mignon Specialita Any you get, you want with bellows. ESP pro seems like a particularly solid choice.

I've got a BBE as well, and had the same issues. The grinder on the BBE isn't the best; I found the steps quite big. The grinder at your local coffee shop is much better, so you'll get better coffee out of it. Use manual mode; hold the shot button to keep it in the pre-infusion mode for longer. I us

I have the Specialita, and can only say good things about it. My workflow is also super simple, the Specialita has some anti-clumping technology, so I don't even use the WDT tool. Would a Eureka Libra be in your budget, that would be a step up from the Specialita as it is a Grind-by-weight grinder.

Owning a Sage Barista Touch and a separate grinder i can under special circumstances recommend switching to a separate grinder- there are improvements in the grind-quality (due to finer settings) and taste. I switchted to a Eureka Mignon Specialita, but with the idea in mind to upgrade someday to a
