Eureka Mignon Specialita vs Timemore Sculptor 064
Two grinders cross-shopped at the same money. The Sculptor 064 is numbered 0–16; the Mignon Specialita turns 0–24 rotations.
Which to buy
Choose the
Mignon Specialita if you…
- pull espresso as well as brew — Eureka lists it as all purpose
- want stepless adjustment
- want a 300 g hopper and two timed doses
Choose the
Sculptor 064 if you…
- brew pour over only — Timemore sold the 064S as the espresso-capable version
- want a stepped dial: 36 settings
- want a rotary knocker that clears fines from the spout
Timemore no longer lists the Sculptor 064: its Sculptor page now offers only the 078 and 078S, with the 064S marked sold out. The settings on this page are for the 064.

Converting a setting
If a recipe quotes a setting for one of these grinders, read across for the equivalent on the other. Rows are spaced evenly by grind size, not by dial number — on a conical burr those are not the same thing.

The shape of each dial
Where the connectors bunch, that grinder’s dial is compressed and single steps count for more. Comparing the two shapes tells you which gives finer control, and where.

Dialing in the Mignon Specialita
A stepless espresso grinder first, everything else second. The micrometric adjustment means small movements do real work at the fine end, and the settings below should be read as starting positions rather than detents. It will grind for filter and does it competently, but you are working at the far edge of a dial designed for a different job.
Dialing in the Sculptor 064
Timemore's move upmarket into electric flat-burr grinding, with a genuinely usable espresso range unlike their hand grinders. Single dose oriented, and noticeably more consistent through filter than the C-series it sits above.
