I'd like to thank you sir from the bottom of my heart. I'm new to this hobby, and I bought two day ago a rancilio silvia v6 and the eureka mignon manuale. I struggled to find the right coffee flow. And finally, someone on the web came up with a simple solution on how to find the zero spot, I tried your method, found the zero spot, and turned the knob 3 steps, but the flow was a bit too fast, so I moved 1 step to the right and voila ! It's perfect. Thank youuuuuuuu
Glad everything worked out for you!
Right? You mean the clockwise direction?
Clockwise is fine, counterclockwise is coarse. @@abhinavsharma955
thank you very much for giving us this helpful guide!!! I just bought this grinder and was struggling a really bit on how to grind it finer for a nice espresso, just followed all the steps and boom! that's it!
Amazing! Love to see it.
I used the setting at which no coffee was ejected from the grinder as 'zero'. This was before the burrs touched, and I thought it was better for the grinder or burrs. I mean, if you aren't getting any coffee output, that's a good enough zero for me, anyway.
way better than the nearly useless video eureka has. thanks!
Ayeee thank you!
When you say to back off by 3 steps are you referring to a single hash mark or by one number? The Eureka Oro Mignon SD has steps (2 hash marks) in between each number.
3 whole numbers.
do you have a link to the small scale you're using to measure the grams of the shot while pulling?

Hey! Would like to ask, why would it be bad if I do the adjustment to the knob if it’s not grinding anything?
You can easily jam the grinder.
Can you please tell me the name of the espresso machine that you are using, thank you😊
It is the ECM Puristika! clivecoffee.com/products/ecm-puristika-espresso-machine?_pos=1&_psq=ecm+pur&_ss=e&_v=1.0
My machine's knob setting (0-5) doesn't match up with the position of my burrs, they're touching at (4) is there anyway to sync the adjustment knob with the burrs?
That's completely normal. That's the "zero" point of your specific grinder.
But that doesn’t answer the specific question. I would also love to know if the adjustment knob can easily be removed from shaft and re-aligned so that the zero point for my specific Mignon with my specific burrs is zero on the knob.
@@whatsinaname6069 It might be able to. I'm not certain! Not sure why you would want to do this, but not judging here :) I would recommend reaching out to the vendor in which you purchased the grinder from. If you got yours from Clive, please feel free to reach out to tech@clivecoffee.com for advice.
@@clivecoffee …it is just a detail that seems to fit the compulsion that so many us have to get that recipe of 18 in 36 out 30 second shot to be just that rather than 17.8 g in 36.3 out in 28 seconds:-)
Is there a chance that the burrs will be damaged when they touch at the zero point? Does it have a negative effect on the quality of the burrs?
They don't fully touch, so no. You'd want to stop grinding immediately once you hear that loud pitched noise.
Ok, understand. Thank you!
What do you mean about Mignon Manuale? Is Manuale maybe best value for money, Especially if you have limited budget and grind a single dose shot ( mean then the timer is practically useless)
We actually do not sell that grinder. I would check out the clivecoffee.com/products/df64-v4-single-dose-espresso-grinder@@milancesarevic7320
Can it break the stones in any way? It feels it could.
The stones? What do you mean?
Would be so kind to share that water setup on the machine? Very curious. Thanks!
it's the reservoir that comes with the ECM Puristika by default.
@@clivecoffee do you know if that reservoir would work for the lelit Bianca v3? Or a setup of that one would work? Thanks!
No, it won't. It's only for the ECM Puristika. We don't know of any other external reservoir that will work with the Bianca other than the stock one. @@user-kc4es1eq1b
@@clivecoffee ok perhaps some external plumbing without flow jets or direct plumbing to the house? Any ideas or from your team members. Thanks
Yep, in that case, our water filtration and softening kit works for the Bianca ruclips.net/video/5rC4MBekxEE/видео.html&ab_channel=CliveCoffee@@user-kc4es1eq1b
One thing I don’t really recommend is removed the hopper while setting the grinder size. There might be a change of finger get in there
just don't put your finger inside of where blades are spinning haha
I'm actually getting a Eureka Mignon MK2 in the next few days.
I bought it used for about a year and a half for 130$, and bought a single dose extension for 20$, in total that's 150$, which I think is a good deal, what do you think about this deal too?
Also my main question,
Once I get it. I will be dialing in the grinder. I wanted to know the zero point, but doing so should I FULLY clean it? and what's the main point you said it should be clean or new.
And thanks for your awesome video!
Sorry, we can't advise you on a grinder we do not sell. Clean it if you want. The zero point is pretty easy to find and it's the same for all mignon grinders, which is outlined in this video.
Although I already got it. But no worries. I highly appreciate you reply.@@clivecoffee
Thanks for the tip. As a side note, the music is waaaay too loud. It should be barely noticeable in the background.
Disagree here. I'm blasting this same music all day long, if it was quieter i would've likely started my own conversations while watching..
This was fairly helpful... I Don't know anything about Espresso making but i knew I did not want to drive 17 miles to go into town to Starbucks. So i got the Bianca V3 and Eureka Oro Mignon Single Dose grinder... I did order both from Clive Coffee, which I have been overall happy with them. But My shots were taking like 90 seconds and longer and I thought something was wrong with my Espresso machine and even put in a trouble ticket. I did not think it was the grinder for the first few days. Because I got the "Clive Coffee Grinder Dialing Service (it was free with Grinder/Machine order). HONESTLY... I WOULD NOT RECOMENDING GETTING IT!!! after watching this video and then starting from "Zero" and 18 shots later... I realized that grinder was not Dialed in and that the Bianca was likely totally fine the whole time. Also this was not an isolated incident as multiple customers wrote in their reviews that the dial in service was way off and they had to re-set their grinder on their own.
Honestly, from someone who did not know what they were doing. I was counting on them to have it set up properly. But I think you would just be better off doing it yourself using this and other videos as a guide. Especially if your new to a machine/grinder only because i would rate that particular service as unreelable at best.
Apologies for your experience. The grinder dial-in service is not perfect, and it is expected that you will have to make adjustments out of the box. That's just the nature of the game. When the dial-in is very off, then it's when we have to evaluate how the grinders are adjusted and reevaluate when this occurs. When you're working with a living, organic product, it's difficult to get it right each time since there are soooo many variables that go into pulling a good shot of espresso.
@@clivecoffee I would classify this as “FAR FROM PERFECT” as in not even close. I get the damage control response. But this “fine print” is not on the marketing material… if it’s a service to help the customer, it really needs to be improved significantly… or not offered at all.
We hear you for sure. @@hakuji4829
I feel like this video could be confusing to some. Your recipe is your dose and your yield; time is sort of a secondary data point. Stopping a shot short of your recipe because of time is not a best practice IMO.
I keep seeing in videos 18g for double shots but my understanding is that for double shots it should be 14g.
It depends on the size of the basket you're using. Using a larger basket will allow you to dose more coffee, which a lot of coffees can benefit from. Using a 14g basket is surely a traditional way, but it's not the only way.
What’s the point of finding out the zero point??? The more I turn it clockwise the finer it gets. I don’t get it
The zero point on every mignon grinder is different so it's useful if your grinder jams and you're lost when dialing in. It can be a good reference point. It's also useful when you're aligning the burrs when replacing them.
