ARO Espresso Aluminum Grinder Setting Dial for Eureka Mignon | Aluminum Dial Faceplate | Solid Aluminum Knob | Effortless Grind Adjustments (Aluminum Faceplates)

Great upgrade to my grinder

Sehr hochwertiges und in meinen Augen absolut notwendiges Upgrade für die Eureka Mignon. Ja, einige Teile sind 3D gedruckt, aber das macht das Produkt nicht schlechter. Habe es seit gut anderthalb Jahren im Einsatz. Ich habe die Skala/Anzeige auf einer Mignon Single Dose und bin sehr zufrieden. Das Einstellrad der Mignon ohne diese Modifikation ist so klein und schwierig abzulesen, dass eine präzise Einstellung des Mahlgrades fast unmöglich ist. Hiermit ist alles deutlich besser abzulesen. Man muss natürlich immer noch vorsichtig und präzise einstellen, aber kann eben deutlich erkennen auf welchem Mahlgrad man sich befindet. Um die Wiederholgenauigkeit zu verbessern habe ich mir angewöhnt immer von grob nach fein einzustellen, sodass auch etwaiges Spiel in der Einstellung immer gleich ist. Ich stelle also immer erst in Richtung grob, etwas über den gewünschten Mahlgrad hinaus und dann zurück Richtung fein auf den angestrebten Mahlgrad. Das Einstellrad fügt sich optisch sehr gut in die Maschine ein. Kaum zu erkennen, dass es sich um ein Zubehörteil / eine Modifikation handelt. Ich bin sehr zufrieden und kann den Kauf empfehlen.

A little expensive for what it is, but it's very well made so I can't complain too much. The dials that ship with most of the Mignon grinders are very difficult to use, especially in small increments. This completely fixes that problem and looks great on the grinder. It fits like it's a factory-made accessory.

I saw a video with this addition to somebody's Eureka Mignon grinder and when somebody else asked about it, they linked here. I had to go get one. I've loved my Mignon Facile grinder, but the one frustrating element has been the tiny hard-to-fine-adjust fineness knob. Making a really small nudge can make a noticeable difference in grind, but it can be hard to make such a small adjustment with the small knob. This new knob is larger and also shows the degree of adjustment more clearly and granularly on the much larger included indicator that surrounds the hopper. I've found it far easier now to make exactly the adjustment I need to get from, say, slightly too coarse so that I'm getting a 17 second shot to just right in the 25-35 second range. I can more precisely move it the right degree to get to my desired result. Besides the great increase in functional utility, this mod is solid, made out of a quality painted aluminum that feels nice and will last along with this well-built grinder. It also looks great. The printing on the knob and the large indicator is attractive and clean and easy to read. It makes the grinder look a lot better. I've paired it with a single-dosing bellows attachment that replaces the big bulk hopper and the whole thing looks great. There are replacement knob projects available on the various 3D printing model websites. I've tried two of those and they looked OK, but those tend to slip over the existing knob and require attachment of a separate arrow to point to the coarseness number. I was never able to get the slip-over knob to securely attach -- rather, it would sometimes slip and make adjustment uncertain. Also, the plastic isn't as solid and doesn't look as nice. This alternative aluminum upgrade uses a complete replacement for the knob so it won't slip. It turns the grinder mechanism exactly as the original knob, but with the larger visual and easier control. If you have any of the Eureka Mignon models that are compatible with this upgrade, I highly recommend it.
