What reviewers say about the Mignon Specialita
Only one whitelisted hands-on tester (Tom's Guide) reviewed this exact grinder; coffee blogs like Coffee Chronicler and Home Grounds were excluded as non-testers. Tom's Guide's Peter Wolinski ran a long-term hands-on test and calls it a fantastic, tank-built espresso grinder praised for low retention and consistent low-static grinding, but flags a messy high-angle chute, single-brew-type focus, and pricey, hard-to-find U.S. availability. No lab measurements or benchmark numbers were reported.

Beautiful build quality, low retention and consistent low-static grinding make the Eureka Mignon Specialita perfect for home espresso and other brew types.
Grounds are very even intra-dose, with a decent level of uniformity, and the grinder is highly consistent between doses
One of my main issues with the Specialita's performance is its chute, which delivers grounds at quite a high angle.
