The Eureka Mignon Specialità SMART takes one of Eureka’s most popular home-barista grinders and adds intelligent digital guidance, recipe storage and real-time grind-setting information.
Its innovative Burrs Distance Detection System displays the distance between the two burrs directly on the 2.8-inch colour touchscreen. This helps you identify the true zero point, return to previous grind settings and understand exactly where you are within the grinder’s adjustment range.
Combined with Eureka’s SMART Technology, 55 mm Espresso & Brew flat burrs, two programmable doses, single-dose functionality and Eureka’s precise stepless adjustment, the Specialità SMART makes dialling in more understandable and repeatable.
Fine enough for Turkish coffee and espresso.
Coarse enough for drip coffee and French press.
Intelligent guidance without taking control away from the barista. ☕⚙️
One of the most difficult things about a traditional stepless grinder is knowing exactly where the burrs are positioned.
A numbered dial may show how far you have turned the control, but it does not necessarily tell you:
The Specialità SMART solves this with Eureka’s Burrs Distance Detection System.
The grinder measures the gap between the burrs and displays it digitally in real time. This allows you to identify the true zero point and return more precisely to a successful grind setting. Eureka developed the system to improve control and repeatability when changing recipes or brewing methods.
✅ Less guesswork when adjusting
✅ Easier return to saved recipes
✅ Clearer understanding of the grind range
✅ More repeatable espresso dialling-in
✅ Easier switching between coffees
✅ Less coffee wasted while searching for a setting
It does not automatically taste or dial in the coffee for you—but it gives you much better information while you make those decisions.
The grinder’s SMART Technology helps guide you towards an appropriate grind range for the selected brewing recipe.
Instead of turning an unmarked adjustment control and hoping you are close, the display provides clearer feedback for methods such as:
☕ Turkish coffee
☕ Espresso
🫖 Moka pot
💧 Drip and pour-over
🫙 French press
Eureka describes SMART Technology as a guidance system designed to help users adjust the grinder according to the optimal parameters of each brewing recipe.
Coffee recipes are never determined by grind size alone.
You still need to consider:
🫘 Coffee origin and variety
🔥 Roast level
📆 Freshness
⚖️ Dose
💧 Water quantity or espresso yield
🌡️ Temperature
⏱️ Extraction time
👅 Flavour in the cup
SMART Technology gives you a more informed starting point. Taste determines the final adjustment.
The large, responsive 2.8-inch high-resolution touchscreen provides access to grinding, dosing and recipe functions.
The clear interface is considerably more informative than the display on the traditional Mignon Specialità.
The official specification lists a high-resolution 2.8-inch touch display, two programmed doses plus continuous operation and activation by either the portafilter microswitch or the display.
Different coffees rarely perform best at exactly the same grinder setting.
A dark espresso blend may need a different grind, dose and extraction ratio from a lightly roasted washed Ethiopian single origin. A V60 recipe will be completely different again.
The integrated recipe book lets you record your preferred settings so that you can more easily return to them later.
A useful saved recipe may include:
☕ Coffee name
⚙️ Burr-distance setting
⚖️ Ground-coffee dose
💧 Espresso yield or brewing-water weight
⏱️ Extraction time
🌡️ Water temperature
👅 Sensory result
This is especially useful when alternating between a daily WB.coffee blend and several limited-edition single origins.
The Specialità SMART uses 55 mm hardened-steel flat burrs with an Espresso & Brew design.
They are developed to produce excellent espresso while also providing good results across coarser brewing methods. Eureka officially classifies the grinder as All Purpose and rates the burrs for approximately 300 kg of coffee under normal operating conditions.
The burrs can help produce:
🍯 Balanced sweetness
🍫 Defined body
🍓 Clear flavour separation
☕ Stable flow resistance
👅 A clean finish
At coarser settings, the grinder can be used for:
💧 Hario V60
🔀 Hario Switch
🌀 AeroPress
⚗️ Chemex
🟫 Moccamaster
🫙 French press
Eureka’s All Purpose designation refers to burrs designed for both espresso and different styles of filter coffee.
The 310-watt motor drives the burrs at approximately 1,350 rpm.
Eureka specifies a grinding output of:
The exact speed depends on the beans, roast, grind setting and environmental conditions.
An 18-gram espresso dose can therefore be prepared quickly enough for a comfortable home workflow, while coarser filter doses grind even faster.
The Specialità SMART doses by grinding time.
Programme the required grinding duration for your single and double espresso, position the portafilter on the fork and activate the microswitch for hands-free grinding.
☕ Single espresso: from approximately 8 g
☕☕ Double espresso: from approximately 15 g
☕☕☕ Triple basket: approximately 20–22 g
The correct dose depends on your basket, coffee, roast and recipe.
The Specialità SMART does not contain an integrated weighing system.
Its programmed doses are time-based. Grinding output may vary slightly as beans age, the grind setting changes or the quantity of coffee in the hopper decreases.
Use a separate scale to verify your dose regularly.
For grinding directly by weight, consider the Eureka Mignon Libra 65 All Purpose.
Prefer to weigh your coffee before grinding?
The single-dose mode makes the Specialità SMART suitable for a more controlled workflow when experimenting with different beans or brewing methods.
Single dosing is especially useful for:
🌍 Changing between origins
💎 Expensive limited-edition coffees
💧 Switching between espresso and filter
⚖️ Recipe testing
🫙 Keeping coffee in vacuum containers
👅 Comparative tastings
The Specialità SMART remains a hopper grinder rather than a dedicated zero-retention grinder. A small quantity of coffee can remain inside the chamber and outlet.
Eureka’s patented stepless micrometric system allows extremely small changes to the grind setting.
There are no fixed clicks forcing you to choose between two positions. You can adjust gradually until the extraction tastes right.
This is valuable for espresso because a very small adjustment can significantly change:
⏱️ Extraction time
💧 Flow rate
🍯 Sweetness
🍋 Acidity
🍫 Body
👅 Balance
The digital burr-distance display makes the stepless system easier to understand because you can now see a reproducible numerical reference rather than relying only on the physical dial.
Eureka’s ACE System helps control clumping and static electricity as the ground coffee leaves the metal outlet chute.
This contributes to:
✅ More even delivery into the basket
✅ Fewer large coffee clumps
✅ Reduced mess around the grinder
✅ Easier puck preparation
✅ A cleaner everyday workflow
Static still varies with humidity, coffee density, roast level and grind size.
For espresso, we recommend using a WDT tool after grinding to distribute the coffee evenly throughout the basket.
The Specialità SMART includes a matching Eureka dosing funnel.
A funnel is particularly useful for:
☕ Larger espresso doses
🌀 WDT distribution
🫘 Light-roasted, fluffy grounds
🧹 Reducing spilled coffee
⚖️ Preventing dose loss
🧺 Deep precision baskets
Recommended basket capacities:
Attach the funnel before grinding, distribute the coffee with WDT and remove it before tamping.
The redesigned metal portafilter fork provides greater stability during hands-free grinding.
It can be adjusted without additional tools to accommodate different portafilter shapes and basket depths.
The stable support is particularly useful when:
✅ Using a dosing funnel
✅ Grinding larger double doses
✅ Activating the grinder with the portafilter microswitch
✅ Preparing several espressos consecutively
✅ Keeping both hands free during the workflow
For filter coffee, use a suitable dosing cup beneath the metal outlet chute.
The Specialità SMART uses Eureka’s Silent Technology to reduce vibration and grinding noise.
This makes it well suited to:
🏠 Kitchens and apartments
🌅 Early-morning espresso
🏢 Premium office coffee corners
📚 Open-plan living spaces
☕ Dedicated home coffee bars
No electric grinder is completely silent, but the Mignon platform is noticeably more comfortable in domestic environments than many traditional commercial grinders.
The Specialità SMART is an All Purpose grinder, but its strongest application remains espresso.
✅ Espresso is your main brewing method
✅ You occasionally prepare moka or filter coffee
✅ You want digital guidance when changing settings
✅ You record recipes in the interface
✅ Counter space is limited
⚠️ You switch repeatedly between espresso and French press
⚠️ Espresso must remain permanently dialled in
⚠️ Several users need different methods immediately
⚠️ You frequently change beans and brewing methods
⚠️ Maximum filter clarity is the highest priority
The burr-distance display makes switching much easier than on a conventional stepless grinder, but changing from very fine espresso to coarse French press still takes adjustment and may require a small purge.
The Eureka Mignon Specialità SMART is ideal for:
✔️ Demanding home baristas
✔️ Espresso enthusiasts
✔️ Users learning to dial in coffee
✔️ Coffee lovers wanting digital grind feedback
✔️ Households using espresso, moka and filter methods
✔️ Users who save several coffee recipes
✔️ Anyone upgrading from an entry-level grinder
✔️ People who value quiet operation
✔️ Light-roast and single-origin explorers
✔️ Premium home and office coffee setups

🧠 You want digital grind guidance
📏 You want to see the burr distance
📖 You save recipes for different coffees
☕ Espresso is your primary brewing method
⏱️ You prefer programmable timed dosing
🏠 You want a compact and quiet grinder
⚖️ You want coffee dosed automatically by weight
⚙️ You prefer larger 65 mm burrs
💧 You regularly prepare both espresso and filter
☕ You want to grind into a portafilter or dosing cup
🫘 Minimising dose variation is the priority
The Specialità SMART helps you find and repeat the grind setting.
The Libra automatically controls the delivered coffee weight.
Both solve different home-barista problems.
The traditional Specialità has always offered a strong combination of compact size, quiet operation, precise adjustment and excellent home-espresso performance.
The SMART version addresses its biggest weakness:
A stepless grinder can be difficult to understand and difficult to return to after changing settings.
The real-time burr-distance display gives the adjustment system a meaningful digital reference. The recipe book then lets you connect that setting to a particular coffee and preparation method.
We especially appreciate:
📏 Visible burr distance
🧠 Useful grind-range guidance
📖 Saveable coffee recipes
⚙️ Versatile 55 mm flat burrs
📱 The large colour touchscreen
🔇 Quiet domestic operation
⭕ The included dosing funnel
🖐️ The improved metal fork
It does not make tasting or barista knowledge unnecessary—and that is a good thing.
It gives you better information, reduces guesswork and makes experimentation more repeatable while leaving the final decision with the person drinking the coffee.
That is a genuinely smart upgrade.
