1Zpresso K-Ultra Manual Coffee Grinder vs Eureka Mignon Specialita

The manual grinder that handles espresso and filter without compromise

Scores higher on build quality & durability, grind range & adjustment, cleaning, retention & mess.

A quiet, fast flat-burr grinder for daily espresso, with programmable doses and stepless adjustment

Scores higher on grind consistency, speed & noise.

• +Over 100 clicks at 20 microns each, the finest adjustment of any hand grinder here
• +The full range in one smooth rotation of an external dial, so you are not counting past the coarse settings to reach espresso
• +Aluminium body at 680g, with a carrying case, foldable handle and magnetic catch cup included
• +One-year warranty, stated by 1Zpresso

• −$259 against a $169 median, and twice the Kingrinder K6 which also runs a stepped click adjustment
• −No scale and no timer, as with every hand grinder
• −1Zpresso does not publish the burr diameter

• +55 mm hardened steel flat burrs rated for 300 kg of coffee, on a 310 W motor at 1350 rpm.
• +Stepless micrometric adjustment that repositions the lower burr, so cleaning does not lose the grind setting.
• +A touch display with two programmable timed doses, continuous grinding, an Extra Dose function and a dose counter.
• +An adjustable hands-free fork that holds the portafilter, and grinding started by a microswitch on the fork or the display.
• +Compact, at 120 mm wide and 350 mm tall, in six standard colours and many special finishes.

• −It doses by time, not weight, so the amount of coffee changes when the beans or grind change.
• −It is hopper-fed; single dosing needs Eureka's optional single dose hopper.
• −Eureka publishes no retention figure and no decibel figure, only the name Silent Technology.
• −Eureka's page does not say what its warranty covers, and the dealer's 1 year warranty is the dealer's own.
