Machine Overview

The first grinder, the Eureka Mignon Libra, is priced at $799 and is designed for intermediate users, while the second grinder, the Weber HG-2, is priced at $1,495 and targets advanced users. Both grinders fall into the coffee grinder category, but the Mignon Libra is semi-automatic, whereas the HG-2 is manual. The significant difference in skill level and price indicates different target markets for these products.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Mignon Libra utilizes a flat burr with a 55mm diameter, offering a stepless adjustment feature for precise grind control. It has a hopper type designed for a standard dosing method that primarily measures grind by weight, providing consistency with a retention rate of 1 - 1.5g. On the other hand, the HG-2 features a larger 83mm conical burr, which allows for a stepped adjustment that is efficient for various brewing methods from pour-over to Turkish coffee. This grinder incorporates a single dose hopper and manual dosing methods, with extremely low retention (less than 0.1g).

Features Comparison

Key features of the grinders highlight their distinct capabilities; the Mignon Libra does not have adjustable RPM, which locks its grinding speed at 1350 RPM. It is specially designed for espresso grinding, while the HG-2 offers adjustable RPM and swappable burrs, providing flexibility in grind ranges, accommodating everything from espresso to coarser grinds. The HG-2's ability to interchange burrs alongside its larger grind range enhances its versatility compared to the Mignon Libra, which is more focused on espresso-specific grinding.
