Great video! I own the crono and have been using the original filter burrs for my espresso for about 4 months now. Made the switch to espresso-burrs yesterday and it’s honestly like night and day. First thing I noticed was that the grind time is reduced by almost half. Popcorning is almost at 0 (probably helps the grind time). I would say that the espresso is smoother and sweeter compared to the filter burrs. There’s probably less fines compared to before which might have reduced bitterness. For the price (35 euro) I’m really pleased with the outcome!

All good but after around 6 months I changed the burrs with the espresso ones (notice I found quite a bit of coffee stucked in the chamber although I was using the filter burrs)and I noticed a way more more room for adjustments: let's say a full number on the gear. Plus, a way less clumps. So overall very happy of the change. Plus I also made a littled to the buttons that allow me to use the main switcher without having to keep pressing the all the time.

I stumbled into a filtro as my espresso grinder. I bought it when it came out for filter, found out it came with the same espresso burrs and absolutely hated it, and put it away in my cabinet for two years. I later got a Silvia Pro X as my first espresso machine and used this grinder happily. The single dose hopper, tilted base, and removal of the declumper (plus RDT) have gotten me down to under .1g retention. Another trick is I leave the front face plate off the machine. This allows the rubber chute cover to be lifted for easy cleaning after each use.

Hi great review. I also bought the Chrono (a couple of years ago) and used it for espresso. It was fine however just a few days ago i changed the burrs for espresso burrs and am pleased I have done so. With the Filtro burrs an espresso grind is easily possible however I noticed after changing to espresso burrs that the Filtro burrs needed to be on a much finer setting, they would take 2 to 3 times as long to grind a 15g dose and even with bellows there was greater retention. For the small additional cost it is definitely worth getting espresso burrs.

I have had the new Crono for 6 months now and I was using it mostly for brew coffee with the occasional espresso. I never felt I could get a consistent espresso grind no matter how hard I tried to be as accurate as possible. I finally was fed up trying to use the crono for espresso and bought a Facile espresso grinder. The ground espresso is night and day different between the expresso burrs of the facile and the brew burrs of the crono. Also the facile has sound dampening and it’s so much quieter when grinding than the crono. That being said yes if you want to convert a crono or filtro to an espresso grinder and change out the burrs I don’t think you will be disappointed. The only thing I will say is that I was told by one of the US retailers of the Eureka grinders that the espresso grinder motors are heavy duty compared to the brew grinders because there’s quite a bit more stress put on them. Take that for what it’s worth.

Interesting, I didn't use the filter burrs long. Just a little while waiting on the espresso burrs to arrive. I wouldn't doubt they aren't as consistent; they are quite a different profile. As I mention, I got a lot of popcorning with them, and that would lend itself to more grind variation. I would need to see the motor difference to believe it. I can't think of any reason that grinding for espresso would put a substantial amount of stress on the motor that a filter grind wouldn't face. Plus, the motor in the Crono is huge, considering the work it has to do. That said, I haven't actually examined them myself, so it's possible that they are different.

I dont see anywhere (your video or elsewhere) that the "espresso burr set" demonstrates has any substantive, real difference from "filter burrs", beyond Eureka's colorful description. And most people see that and assume it has some real meaning, that if they buy the Filtro or Crono, theyll need to upgrade to "espresso burrs" Someone mentioned below, in 2020 they were still calling the mignon/filtro burrs "espresso burrs" even though now somehow they are now "filter burrs" I've been using these "filter burrs" for espresso, they choke my machine, no problem, with fineness setting to spare. Did you see any real substantive difference between these "filter burrs" and "espresso burrs"? If so you ought to elaborate in the video, its the one area where you dont really substantiate as strongly as on other comparison points.

This was a great examination of the Eureka range. I was curious about the differences between the models too, so I looked for replacement parts. The motor for the Specialita is £100 more expensive than the motor for the Brew Pro, for example. Does this mean they have different designs? I'm not sure. Both machines weigh the same though. Another thing I looked at was the Moccamaster KM5. That's a pretty new machine, and the general opinion is that it's based on the Filtro. The unit is a whole kilo less in weight however. I can't see where that weight loss occurred, given that the KM5 should be just a reskin of the Eureka. 🤔

I couldn't answer for sure on the motors. As far as the KM5, it does look similar, but the body is different. It looks like it's extruded aluminum, whereas the Eurkea's look like they are cast.

I do wish they would change that, but that's how it works. So, you push the button, it's going to run for the set time unless you turn off the master power switch.

I heard that the Filtro/Chrono have a different pitch for the adjustment knob so not as easy to fine-adjust as the notte? Can anyone confirm?

I hadn't heard that. I know that some people 3D print larger knobs to make fine adjustment a little easier.

has anyone tried putting the 55mm specialita burs in?

Won't fit, because the bottom burr carrier has a crown around it. Perhaps there's a replacement lower burr carrier that could be swapped, as I think the grinding chamber itself is just big enough to accommodate 55m burrs.

Sure, but I recommend getting a silicone bellows for it off of Amazon if you're going to do that. It drastically lowers retention.

You might want to replace the burrs on the $200 Filtro with espresso burrs, but the replacement burrs for the Notte that you would need to buy to fit the Filtro may cost more than the extra $130 cost for a $330 Notte. 🤔 ☕ 😃

I'm not sure what you mean. They all use the same 50mm burr pattern. The espresso burrs to fit the Filtro cost about $30-40 depending on where you want to buy them.

I think you'd have a very difficult time getting a good finish. It's plastic, so you might also have adhesion issues.

I don't know, but I suspect it wouldn't be easy if at all possible. The burr carrier itself would also need to be changed.

Would not buy a 50mm Eureka Mignon anymore. (no way to upgrade to high end burrs) The specialita can be get for as low as 350$ when sellers got it discounted. It's a shame the Mignon Barista is not available anymore.(cheapest 55mm Mignon)
@TechDregs

That would be a fantastic deal. I don't see the Specialita anywhere under $650 or so on a normal basis. So, that would be a huge discount. I'm not sure if I would think the 55mm burrs would be much better... but yeah, it it was that small of a price difference, I'd probably get the Specialita.

@@TechDregs Yeah I see US prices are rly blown. Here in Europe you get them much cheaper. There is a new 55mm Mignon out there now. The Mignon Zero. Comes with single dose hopper but thankfully without display.(not needed anyway). It should be available for 350$ soon.(300€ in Europe) Chiscoffee already has it for 450$ which sadly is very blown. The 55mm burrs are around 20% bigger than the 50mm ones.(2*r*π) I know 5mm does not sound much but it rly makes a huge different, especially the upgraded ones. Also the diamond burrs produce much more consistent coffee powder.

The 55mm burrs actually have around 33% more surface area (presuming they have the same 30mm mounting hole in the middle). However, that should really only contribute extra grinding speed... I think the quality of the grind is more to do with the geometry of the burr itself. Speed isn't a big concern for me though, as this grinder goes plenty fast for me. I'm not sure shaving 5 seconds or so off the grind time would make any difference to me. The bigger burrs will also have a faster interface ("surface speed") at the outside edge, since they have the same motor RPM, but IDK if that makes much difference. I am curious why Italmill or SSP don't sell upgraded burrs for these things... there are a lot of them out there, and if the diamond burrs are the improvement you say, I bet a lot of people might be interested in something like that. Heck, obviously the DF64 people are all about that... why not for the Mignon? The Zero is still $500 here ($450 is for an open box/used one). I guess Eureka is eventually going to realize that they are competing against themself with their lineup, and differentiate their models more, or something.

@@afranzen Yeah Eureka rly rips off their oversea customers. After all these are very simple machines with huge margins. Go for Caedo if you could afford it. Those grinders are at least undestructible and build for decades to last.
