Espresso
Manuale
The Mignon Manuale is the most straightforward and affordable grinder in the Mignon line.
It has a 50 mm burrs and is made of hardened steel, with a 1350 RPM. It weighs 5.6 kg, features a simple on and off button, and it grinds 0.9 to 1.5 grams for espresso. Despite being a basic Mignon grinder, the Manuale still features the ACE system which prevents the formation of clumps and ensures dose consistency.
You should get the Mignon Manuale if :
You want a grinder that gets straight to the point, and makes quality espresso with no compromise. The Manuale is one of the few basic grinders that gets the best bang for your buck. With no timed dosing and a simple singular button to grind, this grinder is as effortless as it can be.
Silenzio
The Mignon Silenzio grinder is a compact and quiet home grinder.
With a 50 mm flat hardened steel burrs, bottom-burr adjust, and timed dosing, the Silenzio packs a big punch. As its name suggests, the Silenzio features a sound-insulated Case that makes for muted sound and low resonance. Although it can grind for brew, we feel that Silenzio fits better for the espresso category.
You should get the Mignon Silenzio if :
You want an espresso grinder that's simple and most importantly, quiet, but also can pull delicious shots. You want something easy to use and made for americanos, cappuccinos, and straight espresso shots. If you prefer durability and serenity, the Silenzio is quietly waiting for you.
Specialita
If you're looking for an espresso grinder, look no further than the Mignon Specialita.
It features a sizeable 55 mm hardened steel burrs, a touch screen timed dosing function, high speed maintenance, noise insulation and plenty of colour options to choose from.

XL

The motor is nearly silent, it has a small footprint, and has a lot more features compared to other Mignons (Dose Counter, ELR System, High Speed Maintenance). It comes with a Barista mat kit that includes a grinder brush and tamp station to complete the ultimate home espresso set up.
