Eureka Mignon XL 16CR espresso grinder

The Eureka Mignon XL 16CR

Professional high-performance coffee grinder with 65mm diamond grinder and silent technology

Even at first glance, the Eureka Mignon XL is different from most other devices of this type. The professional grinder impresses with its well thought-out design with compact dimensions and a stable stand. It is the new high-performance grinder from Eureka. With its 65 mm Diamond Inside disc grinder , which was previously only known from the Atom Specialty professional series, it grinds an impressive 2.2 - 2.6 g of ground coffee per second. The XL coffee grinder has a convenient touch display with two programmable portion settings and is also constructed in a noise-reduced silent design. The ACE technology prevents the coffee grounds from clumping and becoming electrostatically charged. A micrometric grinding level is adjusted using a large adjustment wheel. The rubberized, removable and height-adjustable portafilter fork ensures " hands-free" operation that is gentle on the portafilter.

Technical characteristics of the Mignon XL

The espresso grinder is solidly made. The large diameter of the grinding disc and the low speed of the motor ensure low grinding temperatures and prevent the escape of aromatic coffee oils. The correct grinding level is set sensitively and conveniently using an adjustment wheel (top left). This allows the patented 4-point suspension of the grinder to fully demonstrate its strengths.

The timer can be set mechanically or via the digital touch display . Once the timer has been set, the grinder always dispenses the same amount of coffee at the touch of a button. You can also switch the stepless 65mm grinder with diamond coating to manual operation. The touch screen can be used to individually program two doses + manual continuous operation, then the coffee is dispensed in a consistent amount and quality.

The perfect grind for espresso preparation

If you ask experienced baristas about the perfect espresso preparation, the first thing that comes to mind is not only the quality of the coffee beans but also the degree of grinding of the raw material. The more homogeneously the coffee grounds are ground, the more evenly the hot water in the coffee machine will flow around the grounds under pressure and the more evenly the desired aromas will be extracted. A good coffee grinder is therefore always the first step to perfect enjoyment.

Nice to Know

With disc grinders, the beans are ground between two concave grinding discs that are placed on top of each other. One of the two discs is driven by a motor and the other disc is fixed. The distance between the two discs is slightly larger on the inside than on the outside. The bean passes between the discs from the inside, is broken up here and then transported further outwards by centrifugal force. Since the grinding discs are closer together on the outside, the bean is ground ever finer. To adjust the degree of grinding, the distance between the discs is changed.

Conclusion for whom is the Mignon XL coffee grinder suitable

The Eureka Mignon XL 16CR is the high-performance professional coffee grinder designed for the discerning espresso connoisseur or gastronome and offers a great price/performance ratio. It impresses with its quiet operating noise. In contrast to comparable espresso grinders from Eureka, it has a 65mm diamond grinding disc, which has a positive effect on the grinding speed and heat development. The grinding level and grain size are continuously adjustable so that the optimal coffee grounds for an espresso are achieved. Thanks to its excellent performance, solid workmanship and long service life, this model is worth its price.
