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

The Eureka Mignon Zero 65 AP (All Purpose) enters the fray as a new model with a larger 65 mm burr set, competing against the proven Eureka Mignon Zero (55 mm). We have tested both espresso grinders extensively and independently – as part of our weekly Kaffeemacher test series, where we purchase all grinders ourselves and evaluate them without outside influence. What stands out immediately: Both Zero models are among the most affordable Eureka grinders on the market at approximately €370 (classic Zero) and €419 (Zero 65 AP), despite being manufactured in Europe. This price segment is usually crowded with many competing models from the Far East. This made it even more exciting for us to see what Eureka offers here – especially since the name "Zero" actually suggests "Zero Retention," meaning zero retention. However, as we will show in a moment, neither grinder is completely free of residue.

During the test, there was also a moment of surprise: The new Zero 65 AP behaves completely differently in some respects than the older model. In terms of sensory profile, the two could hardly be more different, making them almost two extremes for espresso.

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