The Specialita is more versatile than the review suggests. Mine gave me consistent, even pour-over grinds for seven years before I put it in storage when I bought an EK43. The little Eureka is quiet, reliable, and imho, a beautifully styled grinder--looks fantastic on the counter. Also very accurate, even though it's time-based; never varied more than a few tenths of a gram.
To activate the continuous grind function on the Eureka, simply touch the two lower boxes simultaneously. To lock a time in, press the two top boxes simultaneously . 👍
I’ve had my Eureka Mignon XL for nearly a year and use it every day with my Rocket Mozzafiato Evo R. LOVE its sleek good looks, quietness and performance. It’s a little messy, but I think that may be true of all grinders.
Reviewer incorrectly correlates the Eureka Specialita’s quality of being stepless to be an espresso only grinder. Viewers that are new to coffee grinders would be misled in this thinking. More correctly, it is because the Eureka has such a broad range in grind coarseness adjustably, it is suitable as a general use grinder, from Turkish to French press grinding, including espresso. Espresso focused grinders are not attributed to being exclusively stepless. They can be also be stepped or indexed.
No one ever mentioned that removing the burrs in the Eureka forces you to re-dial every time (unless you partially clean it). That's not the case for the Faustino 3.1.
Yeah you’ve got that back to front. The Mignon allows you to remove the top burr for cleaning without losing the grind settings. If you remove the lower burr too, then yes, you lose the current setting. The majority of other flat burr grinders WILL lose grind settings during basic maintenance however. Nice engineering by Eureka’s designers 👍
Thank you for your time. As far as cup quality is concerned, do the 55mm cups offer more than the 50mm?

Hey, John...it looks to me like the portafilter support on the Faustino can be adjusted down some. That should allow for a larger dose/basket.

Yes same. Cleaning could be easier little and some changes like in built weight like new libra finally has.
Grind quality?

I love coffee 😅😊☕

No it doesn’t, you just have to put them back in the same position, no one mentions it cause it’s not true

Second wave mentality! 😀
