What Eureka Mignon Specialita owners say

I'm not actually disappointed at all in the consistency

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!

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.
