Specs
| Burrs | Filter-specific 50 mm flats with a more unimodal spread 5:38 |
| Dial | Same stepless system as the Specialità but a different thread pitch, so little room for espresso 5:38 |
Starting settings
No one has shared grind settings for it yet.
Cup profile
- Very sweet and clean but unexciting. It sits in the middle of the flavour range, where SSP burrs push acidity and finish. It's great for long, lungo-style drinks 5:38.
Strengths
- It gave the most even sieve result in The Coffee Chronicler's group, beating larger burrs. It has the sturdy Mignon build and is cheap for a Mignon 5:38.
Weaknesses
- Slow hold-to-grind button, a big hopper that adds retention, an awkward catch cup and poor normal espresso 5:38.
Verdict
In 2022 The Coffee Chronicler had mixed feelings but rated it strong value. Add bellows, a tilt stand and a taller cup, take out the chute cover and clump crusher, and retention falls close to zero 5:38.
