The Eureka Mignon Zero 65 AP (All Purpose) is a new model with a larger 65 mm grinder, competing against the tried-and-tested Eureka Mignon Zero (55 mm). We have tested both espresso grinders extensively and independently – in our weekly coffee maker test series, in which we purchase all the grinders ourselves and evaluate them without outside influence. What immediately stands out: At around €370 (classic Zero) and €419 (Zero 65 AP), both Zero models are among the most affordable Eureka grinders on the market, despite being manufactured in Europe. In this price segment, there are many competing models from the Far East. It was all the more exciting for us to see what Eureka offers here – especially since the name "Zero" actually implies "Zero Retention," meaning zero dead space. However, neither grinder is completely residue-free, as we will show shortly.
There was also a surprise during the test: The new Zero 65 AP behaves completely differently from the older model in some respects. Sensorily, the two could hardly be more different, almost representing two extremes in espresso.
We discuss this and much more in our detailed test video. We'll expand the blog post over the course of the week. Below, however, you'll find the particle distribution diagrams and the test conclusion.
