Eureka Single Dose: All Is Forgiven

I returned my Eureka Mignon Oro Single Dose #CoffeeGrinder to the factory for dissection. A replacement unit arrived recently from Italy, and it's like a different machine. Did Eureka fix it completely? Has it become the grinder we hoped for? I will say I'm impressed, and I bet you will be too.

Eureka have released a new mignon pro single dose grinder. Please can you review it ?😊

[Ruudwardt]

Great analysis and followup - Eureka should give you an award!
This grinder became serious consideration for me.

[newbmaster]

You did an amazing job on this review. I watched others and none of them went into the detail you did and I appreciate your attention to detail which was enough for me to end my research on your video and buy one. Thanks again!

[scent]

I love love love your whole channel and your view on everything

[FatNorthernBigot]

I have one which is two months old. I'm very happy with it. It took a while to season the burrs, but now it's quiet, very consistent and the coffee is delicious.

[Negaah]

I got from new batch and it has been nothing but all good.

Excellent review! I just recently bought a Profitec Pro 600 and bought one of these Eureka Oro Single dose. This video was key in giving me the confidence to try it. Mine is the black color and it is very beautiful in person. It has been working great for me so far. The issues of some of the earlier runs are not in mine. I see no vibration issues. Seems quiet to me. Quieter than my over built Kitchen Aid Pro which was quieter than the Braun before it. This espresso kit has been a blast!

Your vids and voice are excellent lol still can't make my mind up due to the tricky dialing in on the eureka !

Did you see the Lance Hedrick video from 2022/05/21? You got a shout-out! Congrats, and thanks for your great content.

All I have is the Single Dose hopper they make for Specialita and Friends and I can confirm it also has a smoothly polished flap, that fits well. Huge upgrade in feel from the plastic one on the stock hopper. To bad it doesn't come with the wood lid of the Oro, gonna have to make one. Getting a tilt stand too so my Franken-Oro will soon be fully armed and operational.

Regarding the rattling of the hopper cone at 8:25, I fond that small transparent hair ties used as a buffer around the cone arms work wonders and are trivial to remove.

Great and careful analysis, particularly about technical aspects - much to learn! But about two design mistake I am wondering: why didn't they give up the unnecessary, still cheap looking, plastic funnel on top, and does the lid not fit to it and the blower equally?

[SophiepTran]

That's a much improved machine. Still bought the niche though and that choice was based on your in depth review of it. Thanks for the informative content.

[hakuji]

I am very pleased to hear this as I just ordered one, but the initial reviews were less than stellar. But this is the second (newer review) that makes it seem much improved. The other was more from a usages / performance view. While yours was a very informative under the hood breakdown 👍🏽

Will Eureka do a recall of the first version? I have the first version and it’s crazily noisy and lots of vibration. Located in SG and wonder if a refund is possible.

[numed]

How would I know newest version is being sold on my local suppliers? What are the newest date of the new manufactured machines?

Just had a novel sized comment disappear as I was typing it, so I’ll assume it was the coffee gods telling me to get to the point. Bought the Oro SD after a lot of reading based on your review. I’m having a heck of a time dialing it in. I’ll start at a number a turn and a half out from zero (burrs chirp) it will gush. I’ll go a bit finer and finer until all of a sudden it chokes the espresso machine. If a back up again a small amount it will gush again. This time I will go back to the number that had it choked and low an behold it gushes. It’s almost like the burrs are loosening a bit? I’ll try taking the machine apart to make sure nothing is loose and checking alignment (with your excellent video for reference) but I am bit worried about losing my set point again. For reference with my Sette 270 I could usually dial in my grind within a couple shots even if I had changed it dramatically. (As note, I really like the Sette, but I wanted to delegate that to my SO’s morning Mocamaster cup. Seemed mean to have her using pre ground beans)

[back_to_the_bike]

Thank You. Do you feel a difference in cup between the 55mm burrs and the 65mm burrs Eureka?

[praiseworthy]

I don’t know. I have mine now for at least eight months or maybe 10 and I’m not happy with it, when I turn the size of the grinder, it’s not precise I don’t know if it is a problem with the burrs as I have been seeing some people changing to 64 mm burrs

I would love to see your review of the DF64!
