What Eureka Mignon Specialita owners say

“I'm not actually disappointed at all in the consistency”
— @coppurt on YouTube
“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.”
