Eureka Mignon Silenzio 55 Espresso Grinder Review

[@FTGTapGod]

Is the Moccamaster KM5 a rebranded version of this??

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi F, No - not even same burr size. These Eurekas are 55mm. KM5 is a 50mm burr. Marc

I just ordered mine in gourmet green to match the gaggia classic pro e24 in the same color!

I really wanted to hear the sound of the Silenzio, but there was just constant talk in the video. :-)

11:38 Marc, thanks a lot, - great review as always ;-) Would you say that this grinder is _single dose_ capable?

[@bobdonaldson445]

I have the original 50 mm burr model and just use it for espresso. I added a bellows and don't use the hopper. It works great for me as a single dose grinder and this new model is probably even better with the larger burr set.

@@bobdonaldson445 Thank you very much, I already thought so. I am still using my _Eureka Mignon Single Dose _ , single dosing really makes a difference ;-)

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hey agcs, Thanks for the comment! Yes it is. If you're committed to single dose you might consider Eureka's purpose built Mignon Single Doser. It's set up with bellows, single dose hopper, larger adjustment knob, grinds into dosing cup or PF and has the 55mm burrs - all for the same price. Just no timing functions: www.wholelattelove.com/collections/single-dosing-grinders/products/eureka-mignon-zero-single-dose-coffee-grinder?variant=40559879553078 Eureka dose have a single dose kit for converting most any Mignon grinder to SD. Currently sold out. Marc

Fabulous video full of great tips! We’ve really benefited from your expertise and great info! We have the Eureka Facile and it’s been a great grinder! Have you compared the dBA on that. PS at 85 single hearing protection is required to protect the ear. Do you know if the pump fits this grinder? We use that with our to get out all the coffee, it’s been good. We’re also using the funnel and really like that. 18 grams go in and that’s makes it easy peasy! Love the tech facts here and the cute beard too.. 😊

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hey lise, Thanks for the kind comments and sharing your thoughts on the Facile. Yes, the bellows for single dosing fits on just about every Mignon style grinder. Marc

[@anotherguycalledsmith]

This is a very _Italian_ definition of silence: 71 dB ;-)

Ceado e5 for the win they are tanks!!!

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi gigi, Thanks for the comment - yes they are! Marc

[@forgiveness_denied]

the dial knob is terrible, why they didn't upgrade that poor thing, it's nightmare to dial in

[@anotherguycalledsmith]

Yes, I know what you mean - but at least you can even see and recognize the white numbers, in comparison to our _Eureka Mignon Single Dose_ grinder… ;-)

[@bobdonaldson445]

The dial knob is a nightmare if you use this grinder for multiple brew metthods. I have the original 50 mm burr model and just use it for espresso. In that application, the fine adjustment it provides is actually very good.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! While the knob doesn't have the precision of setups with worm gear adjustment or larger full circle adjustment collars I have no problem dialing in espresso.
