EurekaMignon Specialita.

Eureka’s own spec sheet for the Mignon Specialita lists a 55mm flat, hardened steel burr set on what it calls a patented Stepless Micrometric Regulation System. That single line clears the first item on our espresso guide’s required gear list: a burr grinder, stepless preferred. The motor runs at 1350 RPM, and the same spec sheet separates its grind rate by use: 1.8 to 2.5 g/s for espresso versus a faster 2.5 to 3.5 g/s for brew, a dedicated, finer calibration for the fine, close-to-caster-sugar texture our guide’s espresso dial calls for.

Dosing is where the read gets more precise. Eureka’s spec sheet describes the Specialita’s dosing typology as “2 doses + continuous,” driven by a touchscreen dose counter, a timed and counted program, not a gram-weighing one. The 300 gram hopper (or 510 grams with Eureka’s optional upsize) comfortably clears the 18 to 19 gram dose our guide pulls per shot, and the single-dose program lines up with a one-shot-at-a-time workflow. But hitting that 18 to 19 gram target exactly still means weighing on a separate scale, which is exactly what our guide’s gear list already assumes with its own digital scale, 0.1g resolution requirement.

Our fetched sources do not fully agree on motor wattage: Eureka’s own EU-market listing states 310 watt, while idrinkcoffee’s and Seattle Coffee Gear’s US 110/120V listings both state 260W. That is likely a regional voltage variant rather than an error, and this dossier reports both numbers rather than picking one silently. Neither Eureka’s spec sheet nor either retailer listing publishes an absolute decibel rating for noise; idrinkcoffee’s own listing claims “approximately 20 dB” of reduction versus unnamed conventional grinders, a claim with no baseline attached.

FAQ

Is the Eureka Mignon Specialita a stepless grinder?

Yes. Eureka’s own spec sheet names the grind adjustment mechanism a “Stepless Micrometric Regulation System,” which satisfies our espresso guide’s stepless-preferred requirement directly.

Does the 300 gram hopper hold enough beans for daily espresso dosing?

Yes, with a wide margin. Our espresso guide doses 18 to 19 grams per shot, and Eureka’s own spec sheet lists a 300 gram standard hopper, with an optional 510 gram hopper, so a full hopper covers well over a dozen shots between refills.

Does the Specialita weigh doses automatically, or do I still need a scale?

You still need a scale. Eureka’s own spec sheet describes the dosing system as a “2 doses + continuous” timed and counted program, not a weight sensor, so hitting the 18 to 19 gram dose our guide calls for exactly still means checking the output on a separate 0.1g-resolution scale, the same equipment our guide’s gear list already requires.

Is this grinder only good for espresso, or does it also grind for other brew methods?

Eureka’s own spec sheet lists two separate productivity rates on this grinder, 1.8 to 2.5 g/s for Espresso and 2.5 to 3.5 g/s for Brew, and idrinkcoffee’s retailer listing states it suits “All Brew Methods.” This dossier only checks its numbers against our espresso guide, since espresso is the method listed for this product here.

How loud is the Specialita during grinding?

Neither Eureka’s own spec sheet nor the retailer listings we fetched publish an absolute decibel rating. idrinkcoffee’s retailer listing claims “approximately 20 dB” of sound reduction versus unnamed conventional grinders, but that figure has no stated baseline, so it cannot be verified against a specific number.
