The differences that matter
- Adjustment type: Vario+ stepped, Mignon Specialità stepless — stepless allows micro-tweaks a fixed click can't reach.
- Burr material: Vario+ ceramic, Mignon Specialità hardened steel — ceramic is more fragile to impact, steel handles foreign objects in the coffee better.
- Weight: Vario+ 4.1 kg, Mignon Specialità 5.6 kg — 1.5 kg more for the Eureka, more stable on the counter while grinding.
Which one to choose
Choose Vario+ if…
Pick the Vario+ if you prefer ceramic burrs, less prone to wear from foreign objects, and you're fine with stepped adjustment: handy for returning to a setting already found without counting clicks.
Choose Mignon Specialità if…
Pick the Mignon Specialità if you want stepless adjustment to fine-tune the dose down to the millimeter: hardened steel burrs hold up better under daily intensive use.
