DF64 Gen 2 Single Dose Coffee Grinder vs Eureka Mignon Specialita

Single dosing espresso with almost nothing left behind in the machine

Scores higher on cleaning, retention & mess, dosing & workflow, value for money.

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

Scores higher on grind consistency, speed & noise.

• +Published retention under 0.1g even without the bellow, which is the lowest figure any grinder here states
• +A plasma ioniser in the exit chute to kill static, and an anti-popcorn disc that also speeds up grinding
• +Stepless adjustment on a chrome dial with a metal indicator
• +Designed around single dosing rather than offering it as an option, with a 58mm dosing cup included

• −No price is published for it here
• −No warranty term is published
• −A 50g hopper with the bellow fitted, so it is a one-dose-at-a-time machine by design

• +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.
