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!
@makgstefan on YouTube
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 absolutely love my Opus and would happily buy more of their stuff

I have an Opus, and don’t get me wrong, I love it
@SorooshSaghebi on YouTube
after just a week I was fed up with the Opus (1 minute grind time for 18g, inconsistent retention requiring beatings, drifting grind setting, messy etc.)
