Machine Overview

The Timemore Sculptor 078s is priced at $699, while the Eureka Mignon Zero is more affordable at $499. Both grinders are categorized as semi-automatic and are designed for intermediate skill levels, making them suitable for users with some experience in espresso preparation.

Brewing Comparison

Both grinders utilize flat burr grinding methods, with Timemore's model featuring a larger burr diameter of 78mm compared to Eureka's 55mm. Both grinders offer stepless adjustment, allowing for precise grind size control, and a single-dose hopper type that minimizes retention. The Timemore has an impressive retention rate of less than 0.1g, while the Eureka's retention is slightly higher at less than 0.5g, which may affect the coffee's freshness and flavor.

Features Comparison

In terms of key features, the Timemore offers adjustable RPM ranging between 800 to 1400, providing flexibility in grinding speed, while the Eureka operates at a fixed 1650 RPM. Both grinders boast a grind range suited for various coffee brewing methods, from pour-over to espresso. Neither model supports swappable burrs, implying a commitment to the durability and longevity of the pre-installed burrs.
