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

The Eureka Mignon Zero 65 AP (All Purpose) enters the arena as a new model with a larger 65 mm burr set against the proven Eureka Mignon Zero (55 mm). We've tested both espresso grinders extensively and independently – in our weekly coffee maker test series, where we purchase all grinders ourselves and evaluate them without outside influence. What immediately stands out: Both Zero models rank among the cheapest Eureka grinders on the market at around €370 (classic Zero) and €419 (Zero 65 AP) respectively, despite being manufactured in Europe. Many competing models from the Far East are typically found in this price segment. It was all the more exciting for us to see what Eureka offers here – especially since the name "Zero" actually suggests "Zero retention," meaning zero retention. However, neither grinder can completely avoid residual grounds, as we'll show you shortly.

The test also had a surprise moment: The new Zero 65 AP behaves quite differently from the older model in some respects. Sensorially, the two could hardly be more different and essentially represent almost two extremes for espresso.

We discuss this and much more in our detailed test video. We'll expand on the blog post throughout the week. But below you'll find the particle distribution diagrams and the test conclusion.
