Machine Overview

The Eureka Mignon Zero is priced at $499 and is aimed at intermediate users, while the Eureka Mignon Oro costs $799 and is suited for advanced users. Both grinders are semi-automatic and manufactured by Eureka, targeting users who have some experience in espresso grinding. The Mignon Zero emphasizes affordability for those looking for a quality grinder without breaking the bank, whereas the Mignon Oro offers advanced features for more experienced enthusiasts.

Brewing Comparison

Both grinders utilize flat burrs for grinding, with the Mignon Zero featuring a 55mm hardened steel burr and the Mignon Oro equipped with a larger 65mm Pure Diamond® steel burr. They both offer stepless adjustment, which allows for precise control over grind size, and use a single dose hopper type enhancing consistency and reducing retention. The primary dosing method for both models is an On/Off button, enabling straightforward operation, though the Mignon Oro exhibits lower retention, making it more efficient for espresso preparations.

Features Comparison

In terms of key features, neither grinder has adjustable RPM settings, which might limit some user's customization options. Both grinders in their grind range support espresso, but the Mignon Zero additionally accommodates pour-over. Neither model supports swappable burrs, which may affect long-term maintenance and future grind customizations. However, they both have an aluminum dosing cup that aids in ease of use while maintaining quality in the grinding process.
