Mignon Silenzio

Espresso as an extraction process is superior to every other option (including moka pot, which I have three of, French press, which I have 2 of, and pour over/clever which I have one of each). Cold brew is my other favorite way to enjoy coffee. I make a lot of americanos, cortados, flat whites, capp

For my two cents, Gaggia Classic Pro $500 and eureka mignon/silenzio will get you good stuff and you can continue to mod the Gaggia and make it even better over time

Eureka Mignon Silenzio :) 0 regrets

"Good buy" ? You mean "good performance at a good price" ? Yes. No. IMO the differences are minor. I don't have a knocker, but then, I don't want or need one. Nothing works better for clearing fines than bellows. Occasionally I remove the magnetically held chute and use the included brush to wipe th

I bought my DF83V last September and love it. I've heard from two others that bought VS6s and they both said they're pleased with their grinder. I bought the silver one. I like its looks but the dial lines are kind of hard to see under the bright kitchen lights. The black is recommended. It took a f

I had read all the buzz about this WDT thing and so I bought one online. It was really nice but had quite large wires. My pours went from "ok" to garbage. I (boldly?) posted a diatribe of how crappy this WDT thing was and got raked over the coals. Hmmm... apparently I was "holding it wrong" or somet

Ik zal meer geld aan een bonenmachine besteden dan aan de espresso machine. Maal consistentie en fijnheid is van grotere invloed op je espresso. Zal voor een instap gaan voor Sage Bambino. Andere opties die ik fijn vind zijn gaggia classic pro, of de Quickmill 820. Voor bonen maler ben ik erg fan va

I doubt it's that big of a jump. After 4 years with my trusty Eureka Mignon Silenzio (plus single dosing kit) I upgraded to a DF83V. Specifically, I didn't want to move from a 50mm flat burr to a 64mm flat burr because I didn't think the jump would be big enough. Also I thought that the 64mm was soo

Yep. I’ve definitely screwed up my burr alignment one of the times I deep cleaned my Eureka Mignon Silenzio, because I can’t seem to grind fine enough for my 18gram basket anymore…I’m stuck using my 22g basket recently. I just need to suck it up and do the full burr calibration alignment and properl

Agreed, this would be my recommendation. Very low retention without using the knocker, a little tap on the hopper and you're good. Also, it's very quiet, I find it quieter than the Eureka Mignon Silenzio. It's also much quicker.
