The Mignon Zero Brew from the Florence-based mill manufacturer Eureka was specially designed for grinding coffee in individual portions, known as single dosing. This purist approach has several advantages over the classic method, in which a larger supply of beans is stored in the coffee grinder. Firstly, single dosing offers a significant advantage in terms of freshness, as the coffee beans can be stored in a more suitable, ideally airtight, container. In addition, less coffee is wasted with single dosing, as there is no reason to throw away old and excess coffee grounds. Single dosing is also recommended for anyone who wants to be able to switch flexibly between preparation methods and types of coffee. Because the grinder is completely empty at the start of a grinding process, no grinding levels and types of coffee mix, so the purest result can be achieved.

No dead space and grinder for filter coffee

To be really suitable for single dosing, a coffee grinder must meet one condition above all: its dead space should be virtually zero. The dead space of a coffee grinder (retention in English) indicates how much of the coffee to be ground remains inside the grinder. The Mignon Zero Brew has a good name - it retains almost no coffee grounds. To achieve this, the Mignon Zero Brew from Eureka is smartly designed. An elastic collar connects the lid to the filling funnel. With this so-called blow-up system, even the last bit of ground coffee can be blown out by repeatedly pressing the lid. The desired portion can be weighed out before grinding in the included stainless steel cup, which holds up to approx. 45 grams of coffee beans. During the grinding process, it finds space in a suitable suspension under the ejection. The 55 mm disc grinder of the Zero Brew is specially designed for filter coffee. The special grinding ensures that the coffee grounds contain a particularly small proportion of fine particles (also called fines). While such particles can be useful for classic espresso, they tend to cloud the taste of filter coffee, French press, Aeropress, etc. The Mignon Zero Brew thus ensures a particularly clear and differentiated taste that will delight filter coffee fans.

Angular meets round

The Mignon Zero Brew is a combination of two design and form languages. While the angular housing makes it clear that the Zero Brew belongs to the Mignon family, the grinder stands out from its sisters with the round shapes of the filling funnel and the dosing cup. With its chrome housing, the Eureka Mignon Zero Brew is a real eye-catcher. It is powered by a 310 watt motor and 1350 revolutions per minute. Like most Mignons, this one is also amazingly quiet thanks to its Silent technology.
