My old Krups grinder died so it was time for an upgrade. I wanted something simple with no timers or touchscreens etc to go wrong and consign a basic device to scrap. I also wanted something that could survive any future upgrade from moka pot to espresso machine.
The Eureka Mignon Manuale ticked those boxes at a sensible price - it shares the fundamentals with the rest of the Mignon range without any of the frills. I was concerned that as it didn't have the noise reduction features that it'd be loud, but I needn't have worried because it is significantly less obnoxious than the old grinder. By comparison the grinding noise is actually quite pleasant. Another bonus is the complete lack of static electricity from the grinding which results in less mess. There is also a complete absence of clumping due to the very uniform grind - giving a very consistent flavour.
It took a few brews to dial-in the optimal grind for my Alessi 9090 stove-top 6 cup moka pot, but now that's done a 12 second grind gives precisely the right amount for a 3 cup brew and 22 seconds for a full 6 cup brew.
Clumsy Goat were most helpful in providing some additional dimensions on the phone which gave confidence to place the order online. The grinder was then delivered next-day.
All-in-all, an excellent service for an excellent product. Many thanks - I'm impressed!
These machines have obviously been designed and developed by someone whom cares about precision and quality. It’s an absolute delight to use.
Fantastic home set up - couldn’t have asked for a better set up (especially with a 9 bar spring and PID) and clumsy goat was excellent.
Really happy with the grinder, does exactly what it needs to.
Colour looks fantastic and matches our kitchen.
Good quality grinder. Would recommend
I had a great experience with Clamsy Goat! My first order was handled wonderfully, and the service was excellent. I'm now eagerly waiting for my second order. Highly recommend!
Have been using a Delonghi bean to cup coffee matching for the last 7 years, which sprung a leak so was time to renew.
The Sage Express impress fitted in our price range and for ease of use with the ability to experiment at the weekends.
Didn’t take too long to adjust the settings to get a good espresso with plenty of help from YouTube.
And now my wife has decided she wants in on the action as it’s easier to use than she first thought and she is happily making espresso’s and long blacks.
The steam function is a lot more powerful than on our old machine and is going to take a lot more practice to perfect.
But overall really happy with our purchase and getting a much improved coffee compared to our old machine.
The title says it all. Fantastic service from a fantastic team. Great Comms, fast, efficient delivery service at an unbeatable price.What more do you want? Oh, and the Sage Dual Boiler ain't half bad either!
Good size 1-2 cups
First ever gooseneck kettle to compliment my home coffee ritual set, replacing old milk pitcher for better control!
