Marc, I purchased a specialita from you paired with a Profitec Pro 500 PID in October of 2020. I quickly fell in love with it but the grinder has had more issues than I can count. Near impossible to dial in due to the smallest adjustment wheel with poor marking scale, having to waste tons of beans while making finer adjustments, having the machine stop dead on me while going finer, grind size drift, inconsistent grinds with clumping, tons of retention (using dry medium roast), and seeing grind size adjustments many shots later even after purging many grams of beans. I disassembled it, cleaned and vacuumed it, and still no luck. I switched beans multiple times and even gave the same beans to a friend with a Breville Oracle and he had no issues. I actually went out and gave you a second chance and purchased a Ceado E37s from you and my espresso making has been enjoyable ever since. I reached out to tech support after complaining about having a $700+ paperweight after sales at WLL recommended it. I was hoping you could do something for me in regards to my specialita. They told me it's out of return period and if tech determines nothing wrong with it they will charge me labor to verify that. I spent over $4000 with you guys now, and really am in a pickle taking a bath on what WLL said was a great grinder for the money (specialita). I don't know if I got a lemon or if this grinder really isn't all that good. I would much rather not have an espresso based $700+ grinder for cold brew which we barely drink. Any thoughts? Looking forward to hearing from you!

Sounds like you got a lemon, isn't there a 1yr warranty at least? Maybe try a 3rd party repair place and see if they can get it working better, and resell it, or just sell it cheaper and be honest about the issues you had. The markings / adjustment is kinda irrelevant, just move it one way or the other for finer or coarser, it's not very convenient if you're trying to remember what settings worked for what coffee or brew type. One of the downsides of the grinder (along with the poorly designed hopper). The hardest part is figuring out how much of an adjustment you're making with any new grinder. I think it actually works better as a single dose grinder. Less waste, easier to adjust without any beans in it, and a 3d printed or PVC pipe funnel is less messy than using the standard hopper it comes with.

Recently purchased a Facile in Canada. The quality of the grind and taste in the cup were superb (compared to my dual purpose Vario). I was extremely pleased with my grinder. Within the first week (+/- 25 x 18g), I started to notice clumps and a day or two later, the grinds stopped coming out of the chute altogether while the motor was still running. I tried to remove the burrs to clean the chamber and ended up stripping a screw from being too tight. I used a spoon to reach inside the chute from underneath and the amount of grind that came out was significant. But still wouldn’t work once cleaned out. This wasn’t expected after only one week of use. I was lucky that I could get a full refund. It’s unfortunate because I’ll loved the machine. Maybe I’ll try the Specialita one day.

Hi Marco, Thanks for the feedback and sharing your experience with the Facile. Sorry to hear of your problems. Sounds like the grinder got clogged up and may have had issues with continuing to grind while clogged which caused the problem. Always best to stop the motor ASAP if no grinds are being dispensed. The initial clumping is indication of a partial clog potentially from grind being set too fine and/or very oily beans. You did the right thing trying to clean the grinder! Stripping screws (assuming it was the screw head that stripped) is often the result of using a screwdriver that's not the right size for the head. Good that you were able to get a full refund and loved the grinder enough to consider going with a Specialita down the road. Marc

@@Wholelattelovepage assuming the chute would need to be cleaned regularly. Would you recommend the Specialita or something like the Profitec Pro M54 with an easy clip chute cover instead of the screws of the Mignon? Are they both similar in grind quality??
@Wholelattelovepage
3 жыл бұрын
Hi, If me I'd go with the Specialita. If you are getting clogs the Pro M54 is IMO more difficult to open up for cleaning. Removing the chute cover usually does not give enough access for clearing clogs/cleaning. Usually have to remove the top burr assembly. You will lose grind setting when opening, have to turn out the adjustment collar, do your cleaning and make sure collar threads are spotless before turning back in. On the Specialita, pop the Eureka emblem off the back to access and loosen the top cover retaining screw. Pop off the top cover and 3 screws holding the top burr plate and you're in with no loss of grind setting. Just be sure and use the proper sized screwdriver to avoid damaging the screw heads. Grind quality is similar between the grinders. Slight edge to the Specialita IMO for stepless grind size adjustment, lower retention and 2 timed grinding presets. Marc

Within Eureka's Mignon line are models like this one with larger 65mm burrs: www.wholelattelove.com/collections/espresso-grinders/products/eureka-mignon-turbo-espresso-grinder-chrome Larger burrs generally produce a more consistent coffee particle size and transfer less heat to ground coffee. Difference in the cup is subjective. Flavor perception depends on sophistication and experience of the taster.

I have a Perfetto and use it mainly for espresso. Sometimes I use if for other brewing methods (French press) which is the reason why I went for the Perfetto. But in reality it is a bit of a pain to switch between grind settings (at least from coarse to fine) because you do have to take into account that the lingering coarser grinds will be dragged down along with the fine grinds for a few shots, and they will be interfering with your espresso extraction.

Micrometric adjustement of the other models makes switching between espresso and other brew methods a tedious process. Takes a lot of turns to make major grind size changes.

Hi e, I have not tested these grinders for Turkish. You of course want a super fine powdery grind and these grinders are primarily designed for brew methods using espresso grind size (not as fine as Turkish) and larger. I recommend running the grinder with no beans loaded and adjusting to a finer setting until you hear the burrs just touch then quickly back off to a slightly coarser grind setting. That's as fine as you can grind. Try that for your Turkish. Be aware grinding extra fine may result in clogs in the grinder.

Hi Chris, It's always a compromise if you try and use a single grinder for both espresso and other brew methods which use a much coarser grind size. Espresso grinders tend to produce more fines at coarser grind settings. And brew grinders don't have the precision or grind quality for espresso. Beyond that changing back and forth between different grind sizes is a bit of a pain. It can be difficult to easily return to your dialed in espresso grind setting. But, depends on how particular you are and how willing you are to give up some ease of use. If your budget is $1000 you might consider a lower cost Baratza for your press grinding like the Virtuoso and go with one of the Eurekas for your espresso grinding. Marc

A solid unit at good price but dosing grinders have fallen out of favor with home espresso enthusiasts and the MDF is a stepped grinder so precise grind adjustment is lacking. I am aware and have used the Atom Pro with bellows. IMO it's best used for brew methods other than espresso like pour over in a commercial setting: www.wholelattelove.com/collections/all-grinders/products/eureka-atom-pro-coffee-grinder-in-matte-black If you are doing both espresso and press plus cold brew I'd go with the Perfetto. It can be adjusted rapidly between espresso and coarser settings for other brew methods. The Specialita will require a lot of turning of the grind size adjustment knob to go from espresso fine to coarser settings and it's available in white: www.wholelattelove.com/products/eureka-mignon-perfetto-16cr-grinder-in-white Hope that helps! Marc

How do these compare with a Mazzer grinder? I previously had the Mazzer Mini but had to leave it behind along with my Expobar Brewtus IV when I moved county. I'm looking at getting the Expobar Crem One with the profiler, and the shop selling them have a good deal that includes the Perfetto, but I'm concerned that I might not be satisfied with that grinder. The Mazzer Mini was real good and even survived a nail without a scratch, but of course the doser was an issue as it was just a personal machine.

Hi ER, Thanks for the question. The Mazzer Mini is more ruggedly built than the Mignon grinders and features larger burrs. Have to be honest I've always preferred the Ceado E5P, E6P to the Mazzer when looking at 64mm grinders. I never liked how open the grind size adjustment threads are in the Mazzer and how the top burr rides on 3 springs. With use I found the grind size adjustment would become difficult and opening and cleaning was a pain with those spring carrier holes filling with ground coffee. The Ceados have better sealing of the threads. The Eureka grinders are well made and I consider them machine grade. Their grind size adjustment moves the bottom burr up so size adjutment remains smooth. Though well built, their not at the same level of the Ceado and Mazzer. Marc

@Wholelattelovepage

Hi Mario, Thanks for the question. The Atom comes in versions with 65mm and 75mm burrs. So you get bigger burrs and more powerful motors. Larger burrs grind faster and produce better grind quality. For high-end or heavy users those qualities are appealing. If considering the Atom have a look at the new Eureka Helios which comes in 65mm and 80mm burr option. The 65mm Helios is about some price as the Atom 65. Helios has an attractive design and upgraded UI. I'll be doing a review of the Helios in the next week or so. Until then here's a link to a side by side spec comparison of the Mignon Magnifico, Atom 65 and Helios 65: www.wholelattelove.com/pages/compare?products=NDIxNjQxMzU4NTQ2Miw0NjU5NDU2MTE0NzQyLDQ2NTkzMTQ2MjI1MTg Hope that helps for now!

If only grinding for espresso then the Specialita has more precise control with many full turns of grind size control knob required for big changes in grind size. Hope that helps! Marc

Hi YZ, Larger burrs generally produce a more consistent grind particle size. Honestly most would have a tough time tasting a difference as long as all other variables are the same. But, with larger burrs you will have better control of other variables like dose weight and less clumping. Better control of other variables results in more consistency in flavor shot to shot. Marc

@Wholelattelovepage

Hey Craig, Sorry for the delayed response! Yes, the Specialita is what I consider machine grade in build quality while the Sette 270Wi is appliance grade. The Sette grinder does have some wear parts. It in fact comes with burr shims that need to be installed after about 3kg of grinding to restore extra fine grinding. Also a felt friction ring between the macro and micro adjustment which eventually will need replacement. It's a $1 part and super easy to replace. I've used the 270Wi a lot! honestly it's magical in dosing weight accuracy. If you will be weighing doses it makes it very easy. When static is not a problem it delivers a beautiful fluffy grind directly into the center of a PF. But, it is susceptible to static. Especially in dry environments. That can be easily reduced/eliminated by stirring beans in hopper with a wet finger. Sette is also a lot louder than the Eureka grinder. Hope that helps! Marc

@@mrthomasyip Try doing two of the same espresso shots in a row (make sure machine temp and your prep is identical if possible), after the grinder has been sitting and not used for a day, and see if the 1st shot runs faster or is worse tasting than the 2nd. If grind retention IS an issue you should be able to tell if the first is worse, if not it's not really affecting anything enough for it to be noticeable. I'm curious what your results would be if you can test that out. I've found with a bellows / pump, you can pump out 1-2g of retained grounds, but I don't think most of that is actually exchanged it's just stuck in the crevices.

The grinders you mention can work too but require far more turns of the knob to go from espresso to grind for V60. That said they are more precise for dialing in espresso with less change in size per turn of the adjustment. Just harder to make a quick transition from one grind size and back. Hope that helps! Marc

Hi Noah, You are welcome for the video and thanks for your question. Grinding fresh will most definitely upgrade your pour over quality! Grind size for pour over is not nearly as critical as it is for espresso. Tiny changes in grind size make a big difference in espresso. It's always a bit of a compromise selecting a grinder to serve both immersion brewing methods like pour over and espresso. If switching brew methods a lot the challenge is getting exactly back to your espresso grind size setting. And keep in mind grind size for espresso is not set and forget so you'll likely be making slight size changes as other variables change. Of the grinders here, the best for multi-purpose is the Mignon Perfetto: www.wholelattelove.com/collections/all-grinders/products/eureka-mignon-perfetto-16cr-grinder-in-white It's one 360 turn of the knob to go through the full range of grind size. The other Mignon grinders will require multiple 360 turns of grind adjustment to go through the whole range making it difficult to accurately return to a previous used setting for espresso. Assuming when you mention Breville you're talking the Smart Grinder Pro. That would be fine for pour over but IMO not a great choice for espresso. It tends to be slow and clumpy at espresso grind sizes and lacks precise stepless grind size adjustment that makes all the difference for espresso. Hope that helps! Marc

Is it be be used for alternating between double shots and triple shots? Or used when alternating between different beans? In both of these scenarios, I assume the grind size would also need to also be adjusted/dialed. In that case, why bother with having a second time preset, since grind size can't be saved? (I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that there is some variation/differences introduced when changing back to and from two grind settings. I.e. if I move from 2 to 5 and then back to 2 again. The 2 I end in is not the same as the original 2).

I don't frequent Starbucks (American coffee shop) but they were building a location in Milano when I was there a couple years ago. Turns out they celebrated a 1 year anniversary more than a year ago stories.starbucks.com/emea/stories/2019/starbucks-celebrates-one-year-in-milan-plans-to-open-in-more-italian-cities/ Marc

As always Mark great video ( compliment to AJ as well ). We purchased the facile grinder and it seems to be holding its own . Currently using it for a corse setting for poor over coffee . The facile appears to produce a consistent grind. We are patiently waiting to purchase the quick mill pippa espresso machine once back in stock at Whole Latte Love . Thanks all the help and guidance during the buying experience in home espresso. Cheers

I recently purchased the Specialita and have been struggling with it jamming. Both the burrs and the chute. I use freshly roasted mid- dark beans and they're not oily so I'm a bit baffled. Is there a chance it's defective?
@Wholelattelovepage

Hi May, There's always a chance but I suspect it's not the case. I've used the Specialita and other Eureka grinders of similar design extensively and have yet to have a clogging issue. A common cause of grinder clogs is grinding far too fine. Grounds get partially packed into spots in the delivery chute impeding the flow of subsequent grind cycles. Sometimes this will clear by adjusting to a much coarser grind setting and running a couple of grind cycles. But there may be a partial clog remaining. In that case, it's best to open up the grinding chamber and manually clear the path out of the grinder. When you attempt to grind again, start at a coarser setting and work your way to a finer one. If you are still having issues and purchased the grinder from us you can contact our tech support staff here for further assistance: www.wholelattelove.com/pages/contact-us Hope that helps! Marc

I have the specialita (chrome not gold haha). Great grinder. I love how quiet it is. I can make myself a coffee in the morning without waking the family. The only negative is that it can be a little bit messy as there is no catch tray. They way I get around that is that I will stop 3/4 of the way through a grind, give a quick tap to flatten the mound, then finish the grind. They great thing is that it will allow you to pause without losing your time.

There are dosing funnels specifically for that, I recommend looking into one, I got one that looks like the 'Decent' brand one but from an online retailer much cheaper, just make sure it doesn't sit INSIDE the coffee bed, but rests along the edge of the basket.

Hi! Thanks for the review. As somebody who is just getting into the barista espresso brewing experience, I have the opportunity to buy a used Perfetto for a cheap price, yet the Specialita is advertised as being mostly espresso only. Would you recommend Perfetto to me or should I aim for Specialita? I have the same considerations about Manuale/Facile and Silenzio, can they help me as a beginner pull great grind and shots? I guess the question is, should I just forget about Specialita in my case, or is it worth investing in that for the long run? Appreciate your opinions and thanks in advance! 😊
@Wholelattelovepage
Ай бұрын
Hi a, you are welcome and thanks for the question. Yes, the Perfetto is more of an all-purpose grinder. It can definitely do espresso and pull great shots but it does not have the same precision of grind size adjustment in the espresso range as the other grinders you mention. If you might use the grinder for brew methods in addition to espresso then the Perfetto is a reasonable choice but you are compromising espresso capabilities a bit with less precise adjustment. If using for espresso only and looking long term then I recommend the Specialita. Hope that helps! Marc

Hi! Are the Facile and/or Silenzio being discontinued? Noticed they are sold out on many sites, including yours! Bought a Breville Bambino two year ago, and now feel like I can invest in a decent grinder. Leaning towards these Eurekas!

In your opinion, is there much difference in grinding quality between a Eureka Mignon Specialità and a Perfetto? Does 5mm flat burrs make a decisive difference? Thank you!
@Wholelattelovepage
7 ай бұрын
Hi f, thanks for the question. The Specialita is an espresso specialist while the Perfetto is intended as a multi brew method grinder. Grind size adjustment is finer on the Specialita. the 5mm is not a big difference but they do grind a bit faster and may producer slightly fewer fines at espresso grind sizes.

for solely espresso grinding, what grinder do you think would be better between the facile and Varia's VS3 grinder?
@Wholelattelovepage
Ай бұрын
Hi N, thanks for the question. I'm nearing completion of an in-depth video on the VS3. In that video we do blind taste testing of the VS3 against our commercial grade reference grinder the Ceado E37S. Spoiler alert: Results were nearly a tie. No doubt the VS3 can grind a good shot. Like tha Facile, the VS3 has stepless grind size adjustment. Of course grind size is critical for espresso with small changes having big impacts in the cup. Some users may find it easier to make very precise adjustments on the VS3. The VS3 is a single dose grinder so workflow is different from using a hopper fed grinder like the Facile. And, the VS3 is a lot slower - takes 35-40 seconds to grind an 18g double. But since there's essentially no retention in the VS3 you're getting a very fresh and pure dose every time. Hope that helps! Marc

@@Wholelattelovepage Thanks so much for that response. At this stage of the game, the only thing that matters is wanting to get a good shot of espresso and my grinder assisting and not preventing me from that goal. I don’t care about any other factors like noise, speed, look and materials; none of those things matter. Glad you guys did a blind taste test. I look forward to seeing that video. You rock!

Hey Mark, love your videos. I purchased a Profitec Pro 600 and a Eureka Mignon Magnifico from WLL. I am very happy. Doing business with your company has been an outstanding experience. I have a question on grinder maintenance. There is nothing mentioned in the manual. Does my grinder need periodic cleaning and maintenance? I do see videos on KZitem regarding this but if the manual doesn’t mention it, do I really need to be taking my grinder apart? Thank you.
@Wholelattelovepage

Hi David, Thanks for the kind comment! If you use the grinder on a regular basis you don't have to take it apart. That said, over time some coffee gunk will accumulate in the grinding chamber. More likely when grinding oily beans. Some users do to take their grinders apart for cleaning as the oily trapped gunk can go rancid. There's no published schedule for frequency but I recommend 1x month for typical home user. Or maybe clean if you know you will not be using the grinder for more than a week or two - vacation etc. Nice thing about Magnifico and other Eureka Mignon grinders is they are very easy to take apart and no loss of grind setting when doing so. The screw to get the top plate off is behind the press on logo plate on the rear side. Pry that off and remove screw underneath. Then the top plate will come off giving access to screws that hold the top burr plate on. Remove those, lift off the plate and use a pick and vacuum to clean out any gunk. Reassemble and you are done. Hope that helps and thanks for your patronage! Marc
