Machine Overview

The Eureka Mignon Silenzio is priced at $479 and is designed for intermediate skill levels, while the Eureka Mignon Oro is positioned at a higher price point of $799 and is aimed at advanced users. Both grinders are categorized under the semi-automatic type and are produced by the brand Eureka. This notable price difference reflects the additional features and capabilities of the Oro model intended for more experienced users.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize flat burrs made of steel; however, the Oro features a larger burr diameter of 65mm compared to the Silenzio's 50mm. Both grinders employ stepless adjustment, allowing for precise grind calibration with an adjustment scale of 1 micron. The Silenzio uses a hopper for dosing, while the Oro is equipped with a single-dose hopper, promoting freshness and reducing stale coffee retention. Additionally, the Oro exhibits a very low retention rate of less than 0.1 grams, which may enhance the quality of the espresso, while the Silenzio has a retention range of 1 to 1.5 grams.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, neither grinder offers adjustable RPM settings, indicating a focus on consistent performance rather than variable speed optimization. The grind range for both is specifically tailored for espresso, ensuring they meet the demands of espresso enthusiasts. Additionally, both models do not support swappable burrs, which limits customization of the grind flavor profile but simplifies maintenance and operation for users.
