Mignon Crono is the Mignon built for filter coffee: 50 mm flat burrs designed specifically for Brew-range grind sizes, rated for 250 kg of coffee. Dispensing doesn't run through the display used on its Silent siblings, but through a manual timer adjustable between 5 and 60 seconds, so the dose repeats by setting the same time rather than a program or a weight.
Adjustment is still stepless and micrometric, the same system used across the whole Mignon range: it repositions the lower burr and can be fine-tuned without losing the setting during maintenance. Ground coffee drops into a 100 g basket with an anti-chaff funnel, or straight into a filter or a French press set under the spout; an anti-clump, anti-static system controls how it falls. The bean hopper, smaller than on its Silent siblings, holds 150 g and is rounded so beans don't spill during loading.
It's for anyone grinding only for filter or French press who wants the same micrometric precision as the rest of the Mignon range, without a display they don't need here; anyone also grinding for espresso, or wanting to switch between the two without changing grinder, will find a more versatile answer in the Perfetto or the Silenzio 55.

Chosen from the brew methods the manufacturer declares it covers, not from the category.
Seventeen grams, water at 85 °C up to the 4 mark, sixty seconds and a slow press. Under two minutes, start to finish.
Fifty-five grams per litre at 93 °C: the only method in this section backed by a genuine technical standard.
One rounded tablespoon per 118 ml, water at 92–96 °C, exactly four minutes. The simplest method there is, and the easiest to ruin at the last step.
The cuccumella gets turned over, and from then on only gravity works. Seven grams per person, ten minutes of patience.
