Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Eureka Mignon Zero, is priced at $499 and caters to an intermediate skill level. In contrast, Grinder 2, the Timemore Sculptor 078s, is available for $699, also targeting intermediate users. Both grinders are classified under the semi-automatic category, making them suitable for hands-on enthusiasts.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize flat burrs made from hardened steel. The Eureka Mignon Zero features a 55mm burr diameter, while the Timemore Sculptor 078s has a larger 78mm burr diameter, allowing potentially for more efficient grinding. Both models offer stepless adjustments, facilitating precise grind size variations, with hopper types being single dose for both grinders. The primary dosing method for the Eureka is an On/Off button, similarly utilized by the Timemore, with the Sculptor boasting a notably lower retention of less than 0.1 g compared to the Mignon's less than 0.5 g.

Features Comparison

Focusing on key features, the Timemore Sculptor 078s has adjustable RPM settings ranging from 800 to 1400, while the Eureka operates at a constant 1650 RPM. Both grinders provide a grind range from pour-over to espresso, showcasing their versatility. Neither model features swappable burrs, which maintains consistency in grinding but may limit customization options for users seeking diverse burr profiles.
