Eureka Mignon Notte (for espresso) was out of stock... So I bought this Filtro as an alternative. Luckily it still came with the "old version" 50mm burr dedicated for espresso!WARNING: Newly manufactured Filtro machines come with "new version" burr dedicated for filter and pour over... Need to spend another $40 for the espresso burr set...The only complaint is the on/off button. I replaced it with a rocker switch for $2, so far super satisfied!

I really want to love this grinder. Performance was initially solid, then after a few months I started getting a LOT of chunks/boulders and fines in what had been a proper V60 setup. Multiple adjustments, cleanings, removal of top burr set, changing coffees, and the issue remains. I'm sending it back to SCG for 'repair' - I applaud the customer service so far, but I'm quite unhappy with having to pay return shipping myself on such a hefty unit. Based on all the other reviews, I think I was just unlucky with mine.

This grinder is a nightmare. My husband purchased on major sale from SCG and I can see why. The grounds receptacle does not sit cleanly/flat against the grinder spout/dispenser and grounds get EVERYWHERE.. This design flaw results in a lot of waste and is a pain to clean up constantly. I’m ready to throw it in the trash bc it’s creating more mess than it’s worth.

This is a great grinder if you’re looking to dive into the professional grade product Without breaking the bank. This grinder is extremely quiet and I like that it has very little retention and static. As it states, this is definitely a grinder only for a pour over, filter, French press. The infinite grind setting takes a little getting used to but works well. It is built like a tank!

Really happy with this grinder. It’s super heavy, totally solid, and silky smooth. The only noise you hear is the sound of coffee dismemberment! No motor or gear whine like other grinders, and it grinds fast! Grounds appear rounder (less flat) than conical grinders I have used, and the resulting brews are more focused, less bitter, and less acidic. The grounds bin is useless, but I find it unnecessary so I removed it. It takes up space, doesn’t attach to the machine, and is awkward to empty. I use the machine for V60 and Chemex pour overs, but I also use it to grind for “espresso” in my Jura. I know it’s not made for espresso, but it grinds 10 times better than the built in Jura grinder, so I’m quite happy. The Jura is a pressurized superautomatic, so dosing from an external grinder gives some level of control. My solution for the grounds bin is to use a paper cup, lol. It’s not pretty, but it works perfectly. There is zero static and every ground makes it into the filter. The grind setting wheel is labeled 0-5, but it turns multiple times from course to fine. My solution for doing both drip and espresso was to find a middle point (which happened to be at 0) and turn half a turn clockwise for espresso or half a turn counterclockwise for drip. I always turn it back to 0 after I grind. I also single dose (I don’t keep beans in the hopper, but measure and add each time). This system has been simple and repeatable. Overall I would wager this is the best drip coffee grinder you are going to find at this price!

Nice looking. Efficient machine. Exactly as advertised and demonstrated by Seattle Coffee Gear. I have the same quibbles. The grind container doesn't have place holder so you have to careful to position it correctly. And you have to hold down the grind button but it is really only 30 seconds of your life. The grind size button is also not really user friendly if you want to change grind size often. Overall very happy with it.

Purchased Eureka Mignon Filtro grinder in February 2024.My objective was consistent grind. My previous coffee grinder was a blade grinder which could only produce a combination of coarsely and finely ground coffee. I was purchasing some of the world's nicest, freshly ground coffee beans, just to settle for sour tasting coffee, from the inclusion of powdery grinds in the final product. These powdered grinds were causing a sour taste, in every cup. The cost of this grinder was just $35, so I did not expect anything better, in terms of performance. I really was thinking that purchase of the Eureka Mignon Filtro Flat Burr Grinder, for 6x the money spent on my old blade grinder, would lead to a major, and very positive difference in taste. I wanted consistent grinding, for preparation of really nice coffee for guests, and for anyone who might stop by. The Eureka Mignon Filtro Coffee Grinder is NOT very much better than my old $35 blade grinder. Every cup of coffee made with ground coffee from this Eureka machine has a layer of Sludge on the bottom. Even with the use of a very fine filter, for a final straining into a cup, this fine powder gets through. And this ruins the taste even of top quality, fresh roast beans. On every setting, all the way from "medium" to "coarse" this powdery ground coffee is produced, in a mix with medium to coarsely ground beans. The final taste is always bitterly medicinal, and horrible. I CAN'T serve this. The end result is always a steaming cup of punishment. I have given this grinder every opportunity for better performance. And I have contacted SCG customer service, just to rule out any possibilities for user error. This coffee grinder is just horrible.

The build quality is immediately obvious upon removing the Filtro from the box. I say this because it feels like it weighs more than I do and the only plastic parts are the catch bin and the hopper. The body itself is the same body used for the $650 espresso grinders. The burrs may not be quite as good as higher-tier models and there's no digital control panel, but if you're just brewing coffee it's hard to imagine better value for money at this price point. I've found it to produce very consistent grounds, and the addition of a bellows helped it get closer to zero retention. (I'm at about 1.25g retained.)I will say that dialing in a grind setting can be a chore if you're a perfectionist, it's almost impossible to record grind settings due to the step-less wheel, all the angles in the catch cup make it a static magnet if you forget to spray your beans, and thorough cleaning can be a bit tricky (especially the chute.)I have no regrets, though. I'd buy it again in a second.

This is a good grinder.

The Eureka Filtro Coffee grinder is an excellent match for my Moccamaster. It is fairly quiet, grinds fast and the grounds are of consistent size. I like the way it looks. It's the right size. Half the time, I use the grounds bin & half directly into the filter basket. No issue either way. The square lid for the hopper is not easy to get off. I have to use my fingernail to pry it up, so I leave it loose. I like the included shut off from hopper and usually start then release beans to grind. Not necessary because it has a powerful motor. Just my preference. I like the push & hold button to grind. I always stay with my grinder ashtray while grinding, so no big deal. Plus I use it to pulse at the end to make sure every bean submits to grinding! I single dose only, so I'll soon be looking for a different hopper, perhaps with a bellows. Not needed, just something different to try. Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase & SCG

We're a household of longtime obsessive-compulsive coffee lovers (we roast our own) who use various manual pourover, aeropress and moka pot brewing methods. No espresso brewers here. The Eureka Mignon Filtro is a perfect match which -- once we established a grind baseline -- is very easy to adjust/fine tune. Whatever the setting, grind is always perfectly consistent. The proof is in the ensuing coffee extraction and the rewards in marvelous coffee. Thanks to SCG for providing a demo video that is clear, objective and highlights some of the grinder's uniqueness. The Mignon Filtro is the best grinder we've used for home-roasted, manually brewed coffee.

I'm extremely disappointed with the Eureka Mignon Filtro. I bought it hoping to find a grinder that could achieve a reasonably consistent coarse grind size for brew and french press. I don't make espresso so I'm not concerned with fine grinding. I want coarse, but I want it done consistently without too many small particles that can make the coffee bitter.The Filtro is described as being designed specifically for brew-style coffee and coarse grinding but in my experience it completely fails at this job. I ran several tests of coarse grinds through the Filtro and then (separately) through my Kruve sifter to determine how consistent the grounds were in size. The sifter separates the grounds that are (1) too large from those that are (2) too small, and (3) those that are just right.The output from the Filtro was overfilled with tiny, fine grains which is exactly what a "coarse" grind is not supposed to have. It should be noted that when doing a coarse grind, some fine grains are unavoidable even when using a good-quality machine. But the Filtro produced an excessive number of fine grains. It performed much worse at this task than my cheap, aging, dulled-burr $80 Oxo grinder that I had hoped to replace, and this Filtro is brand new!What a waste of time and money. I am returning the Filtro for a refund.

Pros: Great consistent grindsSturdy build qualityZero retention (or pretty close to it)Easy cleaningEasy burr replacement Cons: - ON/OFF Button: Let me add I am very very confused about the idea that you have to hold the on/off button during the grinding process. This is one of the most stupidest decisions I?ve encountered in a higher end coffee product. Yes. You have to hold the button the entire duration ? AND battle the slip of the grinder as you try to keep it ON because the location of the button at the back of the unit is even more sickening. Remedy? $5 on Amazon, get a toggle switch and replace it easy, thanks to 4 screws underneath. - Catch bin: kinda annoying. I use a small Duralex glass. - Hopper bin: would be great to find a single dose version but it works okay. - Speed: I guess okay? People rave about speed but my OXO conical burr was much faster. Maybe I?m not used to flat burrs. Suggestion: Buy it and replace the button.

I've been using a Rancilio Rocky grinder for years and I absolutely loathe it in just about every way imaginable (other than it produces a very uniform grind for espresso). That grind, however, even at the coarsest setting was too fine to make good coffee in my Moccamaster KBGV Select (it had too many fines and tasted over-extracted).I started researching a new grinder in 2022, and narrowed it down to something in Eureka's Mignon series. For espresso I have a superautomatic with the grinder built in, so fortunately this was a chance to get the terrible Rancilio Rocky out of my life once and for all.I weigh my beans for the Moccamaster and then grind them all each time, so I didn't need a timer, and I didn't like the look of the tiny gray button on the Crono anyway. I went back and forth between the Filtro and the Brew Pro, and while I would PREFER the one full turn grind dial on the Brew Pro, when I realized I could buy a Filtro for the Moccamaster and another dedicated Filtro for French press (if I wanted to), and would never have to change their settings and would STILL save a few hundred dollars off the cost of the Brew Pro, I went with the Filtro.I'm very happy I did. It's surprisingly quiet (much, MUCH more quiet than I expected), and the grind quality is excellent. Bonus for the fact that it's simple and not a lot to go wrong with it over time (no timer mechanism to break, no electronic control panel to fail).Better still, it only took two pots in the Moccamaster to tweak the grind coarser so I wasn't getting that over-extracted harsh taste anymore that I couldn't escape using the comparatively crude Rancilio Rocky.Another bonus is after years of fighting the Rocky after it would stop taking beans and having to permanently leave the finger guard off so I could agitate the beans so they would catch and start grinding again, the Eureka Filtro in comparison simply works and that's a completely non-issue.Some reviewers say the hopper looks like it's made of cheap plastic. I don't know what they'd want instead. Glass? It looks fine to me. It is a bit of a deliberate effort to get on and off since it's square, but I don't mind.It would be nice if Eureka made a bellows simply to blow out the chute from time to time, not as a replacement for the hopper, but lots of people are 3D printing such things and selling them on Etsy.In closing, this grinder exceeded my expectations in both performance and quiet while operating, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone as a dedicated filter/brew coffee (not espresso) grinder.

Great grinder! Just wasn?t a good fit for me. I realized I liked a stepped grinder better than a stepless one.

This is my perfect grinder. Super consistent. Dead simple. All kinds of aftermarket ecosystem. The right price.I got a 3D printed single dose hopper + silicone baffles, which I highly recommend, but your can definitely use this thing out of the box without a second thought. A quick spray of water on the beans pre-grind eliminates any static.

Simply amazing!! I would recommend this grinder to all coffee lovers.

I've been using this grinder fairly consistently for roughly 8 months now and I love it. I used it for pourover, french press, and drip coffee and it never fails.Pros:- Excellent, robust construction. Has some serious heft to it. I would not describe it as fragile.- Infinite grind settings makes for great customizability. I have often been annoyed with grinders that don't allow for such fine tuning of the grind. I'm picky. - Delivers consistent results, especially good for pourover.- Looks, sounds, and performs great. Cons:- Infinite grinds are also a con. It is basically impossible to remember how to achieve a specific grind if and when you want to change it for a different brewing method. I don't do that often, so it doesn't bother me. If you regularly use different brewing apparati, this may bother you.- Grind is not 100% uniform (probably more like 95%), but considering the price, it is quite good. - Holding the button is a mild annoyance.I'd give it a 4.5/5 if I could. Once you tune it to your grind size for your brewing apparatus of choice, it works excellently.

Love the Filtro. Simple, fast, pretty quiet, great looks, and excellent grind quality. I've had this grinder for a little over three months and I'm in it for the long haul.I mainly use it for french press and pour over. The pour over is really where it excels. Incredibly consistent grind size on those settings and very few fines. I'm really not that picky when it comes to getting the absolute perfect setting, but I do find myself making micro-adjustments regardless. That dial is really responsive!The coarser setting I use for french press admittedly creates a lot of chaff. I try to be careful and keep it out of my brew, but I will be honest and say that I think there are days when it gets in there regardless and I end up with a flat, over-extracted flavor. Some people really dislike the catch bin, but honestly, I love it. Very sharp looking and easy to handle. It definitely is fairly static-y (at least in my home, which is pretty dry), but I think that's a blessing in disguise. I find that the static makes the chaff and fines stick to the walls of the bin, which means that if I'm gentle when dumping the grinds out, all that nasty stuff stays out of my brew.----You probably should rinse the catch bin out after every use. To do that, I take the fully assembled bin, fill it halfway with water, cover the spout with my palm and give it a few shakes, empty that dirty water in the sink, and then repeat that all once. Takes like 10 seconds total.It might be helpful for you as you're starting out with the Filtro to know what settings I use. These all start with the dial turned all the way right until you're on the tightest 0 possible.French press: 2 full rotations left + 5 to 5.5 on the dial.Pour over (Kalita 155): 1 full rotation left + 3.5 to 5 depending on the beans.-----I was just at my mom's place using her Baratza Encore, and I can vouch for the fact that the Filtro is a lot faster, a bit quieter, and produces slightly more consistent grinds (the Encore is already really good!). The main reason chose this over the Encore is because this one has cooler styling, doesn't need to be calibrated, and has flat burrs, which were not essential for me at all but instead something I was curious about.

We are super happy with it. It?s built like a tank, it looks modern, it works flawlessly, has a small form factor, and we get consistent results every time. I?m happy I did not get the chromo. We make single pour overs and measure 20g and throw in the hopper and just grind until there?s nothing left to grind.

Great machine ! High. Quality and sturdy. I am using it to grind for regular drip coffee as well as espresso.
