Mignon Specialita

imo, for a grinder to rlly last well, burr type and grind consistency are the two things worth obsessing over. flat burrs >> conical for espresso generally, and single dosing is a game changer if you're pulling different beans regularly imo. niche zero gets recommended a lot and for good reasons ngl

Had the same set up. When with a eureka mignon specialita and the improvement was pretty significant

Ive been using the Profitec Go now for 2 ½ months, together with the Eureka Mignon Specialita grinder. At first I was also considering getting the Gaggia and then tuning it with Gaggiuino, but in the end I decided that I would rather not play around with the electronics. I just wanted to have a good

Five years out of a Barista Pro is about average. The 5-second shutoff is usually a failing solenoid valve or a clogged flow meter, and Breville repair costs often hit $150-250 which is hard to justify on a machine that may have other components aging out.

If you no longe

I have the Specialita, and can only say good things about it. My workflow is also super simple, the Specialita has some anti-clumping technology, so I don't even use the WDT tool.
