The differences that matter
- Brew methods: Vario W+ grinds for espresso, pour over, drip filter and french press; Mignon Specialità only for espresso and drip filter — if you already own a V60 or a french press, you don't need a second grinder.
- Adjustment type: Vario W+ is stepped, Mignon Specialità is stepless — continuous adjustment allows micro-tweaks a fixed click can't.
- Footprint: Vario W+ 13×18×37 cm, Mignon Specialità 12×14×35 cm — the Mignon takes up less counter depth.
Which one to choose
Choose Vario W+ if…
Pick the Vario W+ if you brew with more than one method at home: stepped adjustment holds a setting firmly, handy when you switch from espresso to pour over and back.
Choose Mignon Specialità if…
Pick the Mignon Specialità if espresso is your focus and you want stepless adjustment: every grind change is micrometric, useful for chasing the right extraction bean by bean. It's also shallower on the counter (14 cm vs 18).
