About the Brand
Eureka has been designing and building coffee grinders in Florence, Italy since 1920, founded by Aurelio Conti. More than a century on, the company is still based in Sesto Fiorentino and hand-assembles its grinders in the same Florentine factory, having grown into one of the most recognised names in espresso grinding worldwide — trusted by cafés and roasters for pairing precise Italian engineering with genuine artisanal craft.
The Product
The Eureka Mignon Manuale Espresso Grinder strips dosing back to its simplest form: push the portafilter into the fork and the grinder runs for as long as you hold it there. Built around 50mm flat hardened steel burrs and Eureka's stepless adjustment, it's a compact single-dose-friendly grinder for home baristas who want manual control over every gram. This is grinding stripped of automation, put back in your hands.
Key Features
50mm Flat Hardened Steel Burrs (Even Extraction)
A 50mm flat burr set in hardened steel grinds at 0.9–1.5g/s, giving you consistent particle size for espresso without the bulk of a larger commercial burr set.
Portafilter-Activated Dosing (Direct Manual Control)
Grinding starts the moment you push your portafilter into the fork and stops the moment you pull it away, putting the exact dose length entirely in your hands.
Hands-Free Portafilter Fork (Removable)
The fork holds your portafilter steady while you grind and lifts out for cleaning or to fit a different portafilter shape.
Stepless Adjustment (Fine Grind Control)
Eureka's stepless system lets you move between grind sizes in small increments rather than jumping between fixed click-stops.
Anti-Clumping Chute (Cleaner Dosing)
A chute designed to reduce clumping keeps grounds falling evenly into the portafilter instead of bunching up.
Removable, Closable Hopper (Fast Bean Swaps)
The hopper lifts off and closes on its own, so you can switch beans or top up without spilling grounds across the counter.
Who It's Built For
You want a compact espresso grinder that doesn't automate the dose for you — you'd rather control exactly how long the burrs run. The Mignon Manuale gives you that direct, hands-on relationship with your grind while still delivering Eureka's 50mm burr precision. It's built for the home barista who treats dosing as part of the ritual, not a setting to program away — grind on your terms, every time.
