Eureka Mignon Zero vs. Zero 65 in comparison test - Which one is right for you?

The Eureka Mignon Zero 65 AP (All Purpose), a new model with a larger 65mm burr set, competes against the proven Eureka Mignon Zero (55mm). We have extensively and independently tested both espresso grinders – in our weekly Kaffeemacher test series, where we purchase all grinders ourselves and evaluate them without external influence. What immediately stands out is that both Zero models are among the most affordable Eureka grinders on the market, priced at around €370 (classic Zero) and €419 (Zero 65 AP) respectively, despite being manufactured in Europe. This price segment is usually dominated by many competitor models from East Asia. This made it all the more exciting for us to see what Eureka offers here – especially since the name "Zero" actually implies "Zero Retention", meaning zero retention. However, neither grinder is entirely residue-free, as we will demonstrate shortly.

There was also a surprise moment in the test: The new Zero 65 AP behaves completely differently in many respects than the older model. Sensorially, the two could hardly be more distinct, almost representing two extremes for espresso.

We discuss this and much more in our detailed test video. We will expand the blog post over the course of the week. Below, however, you can already find the particle distribution diagrams and the conclusion of the test.
