EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Both the Timemore Sculptor 064S and the Eureka Mignon Zero are semi-automatic espresso grinders priced at $499, catering to intermediate skill levels. The Timemore brand emphasizes affordability while delivering high-quality features in the Sculptor 064S, which is often highlighted for its capability across various brew methods. Similarly, the Eureka brand is known for its robust grinder design, including the Mignon Zero, which also appeals to users seeking a reliable espresso grinder. As such, both models serve as competitive options for home baristas looking to upgrade their grinding process.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize a flat burr method for optimal grind consistency. The Timemore Sculptor 064S features a larger 64 mm hardened steel burr, while the Eureka Mignon Zero has a slightly smaller 55 mm hardened steel burr. Both grinders employ a stepless adjustment mechanism allowing for very fine adjustments in grind size, enhancing the ability to dial in the perfect espresso shot. Each grinder also uses a single-dose hopper, which minimizes waste and allows the user to dose fresh beans for every use.

Features Comparison

Key features highlight differences in RPM and retention rates between the two grinders. The Timemore Sculptor has adjustable RPM ranging from 800 to 1200, allowing for more versatility, whereas the Eureka Mignon Zero operates at a fixed RPM of 1650. Both grinders possess a full grind range, covering all brew methods, but neither features swappable burrs, indicating users will have to replace burrs through manufacturer support rather than customizing them. Moreover, the retention rate of the Timemore is notably lower at less than 0.1 g, compared to the Mignon Zero's retention of less than 0.5 g, further emphasizing the Timemore's efficiency in retaining ground coffee.
