The Eureka Mignon grinders are usually equipped with the classic square bean container. This alternative bean container is round and offers the option of blowing out the grinder with a blast of air by pressing down the lid. This removes small remnants of ground coffee from the grinder so that no old ground coffee mixes with the fresh ground coffee during the next grinding process. In contrast to the smaller Single Dose Hopper, this version does not have to forego a generous capacity of around 250 grams.

The big advantage of this system

There are essentially two different workflows when grinding coffee. Traditionally, a coffee grinder with a full bean container is always ready to grind some fresh coffee. In contrast, single dosing has become more popular in recent years, where the beans are weighed before grinding and then ground in individual portions. It is particularly important that the dead space in the grinder is as small as possible, so that no old ground coffee remains in the grinder. But even with classic on-demand grinding, it makes sense to reduce the dead space in order to have only fresh ground coffee in the portafilter or filter for each portion. This bean container is designed for this hybrid workflow between single dosing and classic on-demand. With a full bean container, the lid is pressed at the end of a grinding process, which causes a blast of air to ensure that any remaining ground coffee leaves the grinder. The smoke gray version has the advantage that the beans in the container are somewhat more protected from light.
