Eureka Mignon Specialita vs Turin DF83 V2
Two grinders cross-shopped at the same money. The Mignon Specialita turns 0–24 rotations; the DF83 V2 is numbered 0–90.
Which to buy
Choose the
Mignon Specialita if you…
- want a 300 g hopper and two timed doses
- want a smaller grinder — 350 mm high and 5.6 kg
- want to buy new
Choose the
DF83 V2 if you…
- want 83 mm flat burrs, with optional DLC espresso or SSP burrs
- mostly single-dose but sometimes want a hopper — a 50 g bellows and a 225 g hopper
- want a plasma generator in the chute to reduce static
Turin no longer sells the DF83 V2. It now sells the redesigned DF83 Gen 2 and the variable-speed DF83V, and warns that the Gen 2 should not be confused with older DF83 V2 reviews. The settings on this page are for the V2.

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 DF83 V2
The larger-burr sibling to the DF64, aimed at people who want more speed and a flatter particle distribution. Espresso is the design centre, though it covers filter more comfortably than the 64mm version.
