The noise varied from 75-78 decibels, which according to the app is similar to the noise you hear from inside a car. For example, I have a 54 mm Breville portafilter, and I found too many coffee grounds that missed the mark and ended up on the counter when grinding hands-free.

Bigger burrs: unlike the Perfetto or the Silenzio, this coffee grinder is fitted with 55 mm burrs instead of 50 mm which enables it to grind up to 1. The Mignon more than any other coffee grinder manages to successfully mix a clean and compact design without sacrificing the many incredible innovations fitted in Eureka’s professional coffee grinders.Ok I know it may not be the top tier grinder you can get but I’ve gone from a Lelit Fred to this and currently just used my Specialita for the first time and what a difference in my shot flavor and consistency. You're certainly not going to wake anyone up by grinding coffee first thing in the morning, in fact, you could probably stand by the grinder and easily have a chat with the person stood next to you without having to raise your voice over the noise of the grinder. All of our products are carefully curated and we don't sell anything we wouldn't happily use ourselves. The Eureka Mignon Specialita grinder is the perfect home coffee grinder for producing everything from single-dose espressos to filter brew grounds.

With the inclusion of the Eureka Dosing funnel, this guides coffee granules into your handle keeping your coffee area clean and tidy. They use exclusively high-quality components – the casing and critical internal parts are entirely metal – and they also have extensive engineering expertise. Even more convenient, when you put everything back together, there is no need to dial in the grind size all over again.

Its quality burr set and impressive durability will continue to serve you well even if you decide to upgrade espresso machines a few years later. For example, you might be dialed in at 10 for espresso, but then take it up to 40 for cafetiere for example, you can then just turn the dial back to 10 on the LCD screen to go back to where you were. I think many people considering investing in a Mignon for espresso, will be torn between the Specialita and the Silenzio Mignons, and wondering if it's worth paying extra for the Specialita.
