Machine Overview

The Eureka Mignon Silenzio is priced at $479 and is designed for intermediate skill levels, while the Eureka Mignon Zero is slightly more expensive at $499, also aimed at intermediate users. Both grinders belong to the Semi-Automatic category and are manufactured by Eureka. The Silenzio is a featured product, whereas the Zero is not, but both serve the espresso grinding market effectively.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize flat burrs, but the Silenzio has a burr diameter of 50mm made from steel, contrasting with the Zero's 55mm hardened steel burrs. Both feature stepless adjustments with a fine-scale of 1 micron, allowing precise grind settings. The Silenzio incorporates a hopper for dosing, while the Zero features a single-dose hopper method, facilitating tailored grind amounts. Additionally, the Silenzio has a retention of 1-1.5g, while the Zero boasts a remarkably lower retention of less than 0.5g.

Features Comparison

Looking at key features, the Silenzio does not offer adjustable RPM, and its grind range is limited to espresso only. In contrast, the Zero operates at a higher RPM of 1650 and has a broader grind range suitable for both pour-over and espresso. Both grinders do not have swappable burrs, indicating that users should expect fixed burr performance over time. While both grinders cater to enthusiast home baristas, their specific features may appeal differently based on grinding preferences and versatility needs.
