NEW - Eureka Mignon Oro Single Dose Low Retention Grinder

This grinder surpassed my expectations. Two things I wasn't expecting. It comes with a bellows to ensure all the coffee is expelled after grinding. I've found it unnecessary as there is minimal retention. I have weighed beans going in and ground coffee coming out and there is no wastage. I was expecting to have to use RDT to reduce dust. I am on my second bag of coffee (both different beans) and there is no need. The coffee comes out completely clean with no mess. Obviously as a flat bur grinder, the grind is excellent. I use an aeropress so I can not speak for espresso machines or filters. Finally, this is good value for money compared to some of the other grinders of similar quality that I looked at.

Having read and watched many reviews before purchasing, the Eureka Mignon Oro has met our expectations. Beautiful minimal robust design, and quietly grinds beans perfectly each time.

When upgrading my grinder I wanted to make sure I got something that I would be happy with for a while. This grinder is that. I've always grinded in single dose so that was a no brainer but the performance of this grinder is beyond me. This was a huge step up for me but it is so intuitive to use. It's not overly noisy, the grinds are incredibly uniform and from the +- 50 times I've used it so far, I haven't lost a single .1 of a gram probably due to the angled design. Speaking of design, in my opinion the best looking grinder on the market. I've absolutely loved using this product so far and the service from Clumsy Goat was really lovely!

I bought this model, since it has no display and just grinds coffee beans. It's a shame that most of the regular grinders from Eureka have displays on these days. I wasn't in the market for a single dose grinder but it is actually really useful for switching between decaf and normal.

Speedy delivery securely packaged and easy to set up. A vast improvement to my home setup and delivers all the promised enhancements. My coffee brewing has now entered a professional level. I puchased as an extra the King size dial, which was easy to fit and makes it easier to use with my aging eyesight and clumsy fingers. Works well for Espresso (Sage Dual Boiler), Bialetti Stove Top and wacaco pixapresso

The mignon oro is extremely harsh and metallic sounding and screechy at all grind sizes, even when the burrs aren’t touching. For such a high end product it’s pretty disappointing.

It took some time to dial in the grinder setting (arguably that effort is still ongoing). The grinder performs pretty well with repeatable results and overall good consistency.

So impressed with the Eureka Oro Single Dose Grinder! It’s an absolute pleasure to use and even more consistent coffee being produced with my home roasted beans!

I’m not one of those coffee nerds who are all over YouTube. I measure coffee in a dosage cup, don’t bother with weighing, grind and make coffee. The Eureka Mignon Oro grinds to my satisfaction and I get good results every time.

The Eureka Mignon Oro is a perfect match for my Rancilio Sylvia espresso machine. It’s able to grind as fine as I need, with very fine control (no steps), excellent consistency, and resulting in an excellent flavour.

The grinder has low retention, and when grinding the coffee falls exactly into the dosing cup, which also fits my 58mm portafilter exactly. It just needs a small amount of WDT application (or in my case a corn-on-the cob holder prong!) to distribute.

The machine is satisfyingly heavy and sturdy, and never shows any sign of being under load.

If I had to make a few suggestions for improvement (and these are minor compared to it’s core capabilities)
- the bellows for pushing out the last remnants of grind (which there is very little of to be honest) doesn’t work that well. There are holes around the hopper. Some can be blocked with tape, but it doesn’t quite ‘do it’ for me
- the little rubber bumpers which guide the wooden base into place can come off. Providing a few spares and a note of the size would be useful

Neither would stop me buying, or indeed recommending this grinder. It has it’s quirks, but at it’s core it is brilliance.

I would also recommend clumsy goat who have responded to any questions promptly, and delivery was very quick with competitive pricing.

Very heavy grinder, took a while to dial in as such fine adjustments but that’s why I purchased this make and model. Should outlast my Home Barista years due to such superb solid construction.

I have moved up from a Eureka mignon manuale with the usual mods and this is a hell of a step up! The espresso range in much larger and easier to work with on the dial, retention in extremely minimal. No need for rdt usually between 0-0.1g without rdt although I'm sure some exchange is happening. Its clear from many online reviews that this machine was far from perfect upon release. I believe any issues are now fixed as it is just superb. If you are looking at this review no doubt you have looked into the df64 and niche. I wanted flat burrs which ruled out the niche and reading between the lines in the US (the origin of most coffee related youtube reviews) this grinder comes in at nearly double the cost of the df64 (which thankfully for us is not the case in the UK) perhaps a potential reason for the excitement around such a grinder? There are now SSP burrs available for this model if you want to go down that route but this just works from the box. No need for aftermarket parts and the build quality from Eureka is just excellent! (Note I haven't tried the other 2 but this is how I made my decision between the 3) I would recommend this grinder to anybody and compared to the price of other similar equipment plus aftermarket mods to iron out issues, it's a bit of a bargain really! Currently using it paired with my Mara X. I can't imagine anyone regretting buying this grinder the workflow is lovely too, it's honestly a joy!

Great service
