Eureka Mignon Zero 65 Espresso Grinder: Setup Guide

Congratulations on your new Eureka Mignon Zero 65 Espresso Grinder. Let's get it set up!

This quick-start guide will walk you through setting up your grinder. Check the product page for a list of included accessories, details, and specs. See the User Manual for information on operating the grinder and for additional resources.

Step 1: Out of the box and onto the counter

  • Remove the grinder from its box and place it on a solid, level surface.
  • Inspect the grinder for any damage. If you notice any, contact us immediately.
  • Place the hopper into the grinder, and if you wish to use it, attach the bellows and the grinder lid. 
  • Set the dosing cup onto the portafilter holder with the anti-chaff funnel. 
  • Adjust the portafilter holder to get a snug fit. The adjustment is tool-free.
  • Ensure the rotating metal tab is closed before adding coffee to the hopper.

Step 2: Operating your grinder

  • Plug in your grinder.
  • The power switch is on the chassis's right side.
  • The quick activation switch is conveniently located right next to the dosing cup holder, for quick and intuitive activation of coffee grinding. This lever slides up and down to engage the motor
  • With the metal tab closed, add coffee beans to the hopper, then press the quick activation switch down to start grinding. 
  • With coffee in the hopper and the motor running, open the tab, allowing the coffee to grind into the dosing cup. 
  • Close the metal tab and use the blow-up hopper to push any remaining grounds through the burr chamber.
  • Once your coffee dose is ground, push the quick activation lever back up. 

Step 3: Dialing in your grind

  • Adjust the grind setting by turning the large dial on top of the grinder. The grinder is infinitely adjustable, with up to 20 settings and a revolution counter serving merely as reference points when you're using the grinder for espresso or other brew methods. Turning the dial clockwise (towards smaller numbers) adjusts the grind setting finer, and turning counter-clockwise (towards larger numbers) adjusts the grind setting coarser. When dialing in for espresso, make small adjustments, in increments of 1/4 - 1/2 a number at a time, as this mechanism is very sensitive. 
  • Note: If you adjust the dial in the fine direction more than 2 numbers at a time, the grinder may jam.  
  • Using the grinder for drip coffee and pour-over will require a large adjustment, likely an entire 360-degree rotation or two. When moving from espresso to pour-over, e.g., fine to coarse, it is okay that the grinder is not running. When making large adjustments back to espresso, e.g., coarse to fine, it's best to have the grinder running so that it does not jam. 
  • If coffee does not come through the grinder at any point, this could indicate that the setting is too fine or the burrs are jammed. Open the burrs to free the coffee by turning counter-clockwise and making the setting coarser.
