Eureka Atom Espresso Grinder
Overview
Eureka lives up to their namesake with another inspired grinder—the Atom! Instead of focusing on speed, (though it's quite fast) consistency, (though it has fantastic espresso distribution) or ease of use (though it is, in fact, easy) Eureka has shifted focus into making a truly quiet grinder. This is the grinder for a house of light sleepers, apartment complexes or romantic cafés. Short of a hand grinder or a hiding place in the garage, you'll be hard-pressed to find a quieter espresso grinder on the market. This marked dedication to sound insulation pairs with fine stepless grind controls, time-based dosing and an easy-cleaning design shared with other Eureka-designed grinders.
Features and Functionality
- 60mm Flat Burrs - Large burrs make short work of pulverizing beans into a uniform distribution.
- Sound Insulation - A metal case and a design dedicated to quiet motor and burr sounds make the Atom a great choice for quiet spaces.
- Timer Based Dosing - Set grind times for both single or double shots.
- Removable Bean Hopper - Boxy like the rest of the grinder, the Atom's hopper is easily removable for cleaning and maintenance.
- Manual Pulse Grind - Grind on demand with a dedicated pulse brew button or the portafilter button.
- Portafilter or Basket - The Atom comes with a dedicated grounds bin for drip or pour over preparations.
- Stepless Adjustment - With nearly infinite burr settings, the Atom offers fine control over grind size.
- Digital Screen - An easy-to-read digital screen makes set up and control even easier.
- Removable Top Burr - The top burr of the Atom is easily removable for cleaning and maintenance.
- Bottom Burr Adjust - Adjustments happen at the lower burr, so your grind setting will be saved after cleaning.

|
| SCG Staff Says... | While handily capable of grinding for drip and pour over methods, the Atom gets quite messy at coarser settings. |
| How Does it Compare? | Serious power and a quiet design makes this grinder one of our top choices for home espresso (as long as you have the room). It would also be a great pick for a small cafe as a secondary grinder. |
| Suitable Applications | Drip Coffee, Espresso, Fine Drip / Pour Over |
| Minimum Time to Grind Double Shot | 4.5 seconds |

Just received the ATOM from you and have a question. Portafilter button is strictly a start button in single or double shot modes. I would like to have it pause the grind if I remove the portafilter to tap down the mound and resume the grind time by pushing the Portafilter button with the portafilter again. Can this be done? The manual has no mention of changing the function of this button. Right now, I push annother button to pause and also to resume. Love the low noise and perfect grind! Getting much smoother extraction than Baratza Sette (noisy monster).
Best Answer: Weird! I just tested this and our unit does the same thing. I even tried going into the diagnostics listed in the manual but there are no settings there, only a 'shot count'. I'll pass this on to our tech team to see if they can give any insight.
Thanks!
Thanks!
bought an Atom less than a year ago. have faithfully cleaned it. today, I encountered two problems. first, the grinder would not turn at all. the motor would hum, but the grinding mechanism did not move. I think I fixed that problem; at least the grinder itself once again spins. second, no coffee comes out of the shoot. the grinder seems to be accepting coffee, but it seems to be staying somewhere within the machine.
any suggestions for how to remedy problem?
thanks.

Best Answer: Hi James,
Thanks for your question. It should be that the grinder is clogged. Sometime changing the grind size too quickly can cause this. On the product video, it shows a quick teardown to where the dispensing chute is. That is be your best bet in getting the grinder back up and running. Is clearing the clog does not work, feel free to reach out to us at our 866.372.4734 customer service number to set up a repair ticket.
Hope that helps!

I bought the Atom when I ordered my Linea Mini. I previously was using the Rancilio doserless for the last 4 years which was excellent once it was dialed in. I only changed the grind when I changed to a different bean. It is a great grinder but the Atom which cost 3 times as much is a better buy especially with it stepless design. Finding the right grind as always takes time and patience but it really is terrific. The only issue is that the portafilter from La Marzocco does not work with the portafilter rest so you will have to hold it for approximately 8 seconds to get 17 gm of grind. Small price to pay for such a fabulous machine. The clear plastic is very thin and fragile so be careful with the bean hopper and lid. Otherwise those who buy this will be rewarded.
