“I bought the Eureka Mignon Specialita back in June 2019. I used it for over two years before buying a Niche.”
“I'm not actually disappointed at all in the consistency”
“It will replace my Eureka Mignon Specialita. I didn't expect it to produce better coffee, just to improve the workflow, which is what the video seems to confirm. I find single dosing with the Eureka messy and annoying.”
“i have it for 5 years now. last year i upgraded the knob with a bigger dialer so now it is very easy to switch from espresso to brew coffee. This upgrade was a big step up!”
“my previous grinder, the Eureka Mignon Specialita, was out of alignment.”
“It clogs very easily. When the beans are even just a bit oily it's pretty bad.”
“I bought a Specialita to carry me over until I could get a Niche. When I finally got a Niche, I actually liked the Specialita better for espresso.”
“Had mine nearly 4 years before it decided to jam on some oily beans.”
“I got myself Eureka Mignon Specialita and that seems good enough although im planning to upgrade my grinder in the near future.”
“Eureka Mignon Specialita here with bellows and dial knob mods. Bellows improved retention situation significantly and supersized dial knob allowed much better control in adjustment. It's not perfect but sufficient for my current ask :)”
“Coming from a Eureka Specialita which has virtually zero clarity”
“I couldn't be happier with it! it helps to produce incredibly complex and textured espresso with my Gaggia with a consistent grind quality.”
“I had a Baratza Sette 30 before and ungraded to the Eureka Mignon Specialita and there is a noticeable difference in the quality of my shots.”
“The eureka mignon is excellent, I have the specialita. However, it is really espresso-only. To do other grinds, you need to turn the knob multiple rotations, which makes it very difficult to get *back* to espresso. But it is an excellent grinder and *very quiet*.”
“I have an Eureka Mignon Specialita and it’s very quiet but not that fast. On the plus side, it’s half the budget”
“Havent used a niche but I did use an eureka mignon specialita, so not the libra. The specialita was fine, but I prefer the single dosing, looks and adjustment ring of the 078S.”
“The Specialita has higher highs than the niche but is fussy and I’m selling it. The DF83 is best of both worlds, better flavour than the other 2 without sacrificing a huge amount of mouthfeel, decent workflow although not as good as the niche, and easier to dial in than the Specialita”
“Have the same grinder its fantastic!!!”
“If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't get the Eureka Mignon Specialita... it may grind beans well but it otherwise sucks for the price I paid for it... every time I grind I have to beat the machine like it stole something from me just to keep it from clogging... then I have to reach up with a toothpick to clear the shoot... its very aggravating.”
“They are great grinders and we use ours every day.”
“Eureka Mignon Specialita here, works fine and produces gorgeous coffee but it's not that easy to adjust from one bean to another sometimes...”
“I got a $600 eureka mignon specialita. But I already feel I want to upgrade because I can’t extract the flavors I want from my light roasts.”
“I got the Robot and Eureka Mignon Specialita. I make 2-3 double shots per day. Extra on weekends and for company. I also got an extra portafilter and screen and that makes it super easy to make multiple in a row.”
“I upgraded from the Eureka Mignon specialita. It was giving me issues with lighter roasts. I had it for about 3 years. I was just getting annoying levels of uneven extraction.”

“I use Linea Micra and Eureka Mignon Specialita which is very similar to your set up and never have issue like this.”
“this is NOT a magic bullet, and to be honest I have to hit the bellows for a while to feel like I've really gotten out nearly all of the grinds. Mignons are not natural single dosing grinders.”
“I thought the channeling was because of the attached grinder isn't the best, so I bought a separate grinder, the Eureka Mignon Specialita. This helped but still have the same issue.”
“On my Eureka Mignon Specialita, I notice that single dosing causes the grinder to take longer, and not be as consistent, so keeping a the hopper at least a third full has been my usual routine.”
“It turns out that my Eureka Mignon specialita can get kind of messy with grinds overshooting the basket when I'm getting to the 18 g amount.”
“I find that my Specialita does have some retention, but the over/under when I single dose comes out close enough, even if it's old coffee.”
“I love my P64 as well, but I’ll also say, it’s not a drastically better shot than my Eureka Mignon Specialita was.”
“if you are having issues with clumping with the eureka mignon specialita, open it up and remove the anti-clumping thing in the grinding chute. I don't know what they were thinking with that but all it does is increase clumping not decrease it. Ever since I removed it my grinds have been so much fluffier and far more consistent!”
“It's the popular eureka mignon specialita, and it's too early for me to say if I like or not, all I know is it's low-key a pain in the ass to dial in, but could be skill issue tho”
“I have a very similar setup as you, a Quickmill Pippa and a Eureka Mignon Specialita, and I can attest that the grinder will often hold .5g to 1.5g of ground coffee before using the bellows.”
“I now have a Eureka Mignon Specialita but only use it for espresso. I tried it for both and it worked but had higher retention after I adjusted the grind size.”
“I’m very happy with my DF83 but it is bloody loud as well, WAY louder than my niche zero or eureka Mignon Specialita were”
“My grinder needed realigning. That was the biggest issue for me. (Eureka mignon specialita)”
“I picked up a Eureka Mignon Specialita. Dialing the dang thing in has been very humbling.”
“I found it came in handy with my Specialita as it would clump up on darker roasts.”
“I used to own a Specialita and single dosed it with a hopper & bellows. I really had to pump the bellows extremely hard, multiple times, but I had no significant retention.”
“I also went from a Lelit Fred to a Specialita. Then bought a Mignon Filtro for filtered coffee. Then I upgraded from the Specialita to a Turbo”
“On my Specialita I had to grind way finer than felt "right" before the shot actually balanced”
