Eureka Oro Mignon XL Espresso Coffee Grinder Preview

[@rishadd]

how would you compare the spresso grind quality vs the Libra? (i know there's a convenience factor with the Libra in GBW).

[@Dave-ne2jf]

Great video. Maybe next time though save the coffee and brew some shots afterwards and - don’t like seeing so much wasted coffee!

[@martintasi2966]

Its not wasted its put into ground coffee bags & Sold like here in Australia its just that the unassuming buyers dont know this What do you think most coffee reviwers do with it☕

[@moltengirl6797]

Could you please tell me how this one compares to the Eureka Libra?

[@back_to_the_bike8820]

Excellente présentation, comme d'habitude. Ce broyeur a l'air vraiment top ! Qui plus est, il existe des possibilités à faible prix pour le transformer en "single dosing", et il est alors plus polyvalent que le modèle single dosing d'Eureka. Par contre, le tapis et la station sont des options dont on se passerait bien (et avoir un prix moindre). Il me tente bien pour accompagner mon Niche Zéro (l'un avec meules coniques, l'autre avec meules plates, l'un pour le single dosing, l'autre pour utilisation avec la trémie et le café courant de la maison).

How does this one compare to the Eureka Stark?

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

The grinders are actually quite similar, the Eureka Stark has some aesthetic upgrades, it has the metal base instead of plastic. The Stark does not come with the mignon mat whereas the XL does. Otherwise internally they are the same grinder.

Great video, I've just had a look at this machine at my coffee supplier. Q: how to do you know the time to put in the grinder?

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

The time will depend on your coffee and how fine the grind is. There is no set rule. Usually darker roasts are a little coarser than light roasts.

[@byronbasso9922]

Is 16 g of coffee, a double shot or a single shot

[@grantsteinberg5617]

This looks like a great machine for home... I'm also looking at the new Rocket Faustino 3.1 version as an option... similar price in Australia to the XL... would you recommend one over the other for any particular reason? Given I think the Rocket is also designed by Eureka... Your thoughts would be appreciated.

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

Hi, we haven't received the Faustino 3.1 in Canada yet but I believe that this grinder is no longer made by Eureka. Rocket changed the manufacturing on the Faustino to Macap. Also, the previous version of the Faustino only had 50mm burrs and the XL has 65 so there is that to consider as well. The XL compares more closely to the Rocket Fausto which has the same 65mm burr size.

[@xcoreikkix]

hi! is only difference between this and specialita size of the burrs? :) any reason to upgrade from specialita?

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

The main difference is the larger burrs so it is faster, it also comes with the Mignon Mat but that can be purchased separately for your Specialita if you want one. What you would gain by upgrading is grinding speed.

[@xcoreikkix]

@@iDrinkCoffeeCanada thank you so much! well - as i am doing few shots daily at home, getting few seconds is not that important i believe :)

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

@@xcoreikkix I tend to agree if you already own a specialita.

[@davidiungerich6104]

Is this the only one that comes with 65mm burrs? All others are 55 or less?

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

Hi, yes, this grinder does have 65mm burrs with Eureka's cryogenic "Diamond Inside" coating. Eureka makes grinders with many different sizes though, they have 50mm in the Silenzio, 55mm in the Specialita, 60mm in the Atom and they also have 65mm, 75mm and 85mm burr sets.

[@alessandromanzolillo4485]

What espresso scare did you say you used in this video?

[@alessandromanzolillo4485]

Scale*

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

That's the Whitebird Ultra Thin, it's a great value scale, the price is fair and it works well. It's available here idrinkcoffee.com/en-us/products/whitebird-ultrathin-scale-kc203

[@TheMartinChnnl]

Hi, one question, how does it compares to the Mignon Turno exactly?

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

The XL comes standard with Diamond Inside burrs which are harder, the adjustment knob is the "oro style" on the XL which is larger and nicer and it comes with the mignon mat.

[@andreibordeianu]

Huge problem with it: is too fast, and when you adjust it for/with expensive coffee your eyes get wet!

[@iDrinkCoffeeCanada]

I can understand that. This is an issue that arises with many grinders when dialing in an expensive espresso.

[@andreibordeianu]

@@iDrinkCoffeeCanada no issue, that was ironic…. Come on! Single dose for dialing coarseness and after in 2 attempts time is also dialed in.
