Mignon Libra

I always say Eureka Mignon Libra, now $800. I have a 16 month old 55mm version, still flawless operation, zero retention, can walk up and have the shot in 10 seconds. The hopper holds a 12 oz bag, which assumes you'll drink that in a week or less so as not to go stale. Grind is very quiet, build is

Love my Mignon Libra (original 55mm, now $800?!), but Eureka sells cheaper Mignon options ($400). Whole Latte Love sells refurbished, as does Amazon. Most Mignons now have sound attenuation treatment by default. (They used to advertise it only for better models.) Mine is pretty quiet, although I've

My recommendation is always a Eureka Mignon Libra. Grind by weight is convenient if you typically drink a bag of beans at a time. Drop down to a Specialita if you prefer single dosing.

I get it, it's not a $3K Mahlkonig, it's not built as robustly as commercial machines, and the location of final assembly is different. Havi

My understanding is that the Baratza Encore ESP is loud and the DF54 occasionally underpowered. The Fellow Opus 2 (avoid the 1) is in this same level. They'll all do fine, but eventually you'll want a better. I upgraded my initial entry level grinder (Fellow Opus 1) to a Eureka Mignon and it is so m

I use a Eureka Mignon Libra all purpose and I‘m very happy with it. It is much quieter than the Baratza Sette 270 I used before. It has a small retention as well.
