Mignon Silenzio

"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

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

Good range to be looking at. The Baratza Encore is a solid workhorse but worth knowing it is primarily designed for filter coffee rather than espresso, the stepped adjustment and grind range does not give you the fine control espresso really needs for dialling in. If espresso is your main brew metho

i looked into that same mod on the km5 and honestly the adjustment block is there because the burr chamber geometry doesn’t allow true espresso fine without stalling. pulling the limiter just gives you unusable fines and motor strain. since you already pulled decent shots at setting 1 with fresh bea

I'll answer the short question first: the grinder. I loved my Eureka Mignon Silenzio, but it was a hopper style grinder. I learned quickly that what I like is fresh beans. A hopper would not do. So I got a Single Doser kit off of Etsy for it. That was great, but... The workflow wasn't the best. I st

Yeah, my Eureka Mignon Silenzio has 50mm burrs. The first thing I noticed is that the taste of my coffee really improved after 3 months of this grinder. Oh? You have to "break in" a grinder? Then I saw this youtube about "shimming" my grinder. Wait... you have to shim it? I finally got brave and per

I got rid of my Brattza a couple of years ago and replaced it with an Eureka Mignon Silenzio 55 Espresso Grinder. I replaced the hopper with a single-dose hopper featuring a bellows from Amazon.I stressed like crazy about what grinder to get and settled on this one in the end. I'm happy every day th

I’ve only had my ProfitecGo for a couple of months, new to the espresso game. I just switched this week from an Opus to the Eureka Mignon Silenzio 55. I see the first drops out at around 8-9 seconds. I have a lot of crema with my medium roast beans that are 4 days after roasting. I’m grinding them n

I love my Eureka Mignon Silenzio mainly for its quietness. But I'm unsatisfied with the dial and the not possible fine control.Do you know, if the Mahlkönig is similar to the Silenzio in terms of volume.

It depends on if you want a large hopper or a single dose. Personally I liked the idea of a hopper to pour the beans in and not have to weigh out the beans each morning. I went with the Eureka Mignon Silenzio, it has been fantastic. One thing that isn’t great is the default portafilter for the profi
