Eureka Mignon Zero 65 AP Espresso Grinder: User Manual

This manual should contain everything you need to operate and maintain your Eureka Mignon Zero 65 AP espresso grinder.

Before operating your new Eureka Mignon Zero 65 AP espresso grinder, make sure you have carefully read the Setup Guide. Check the product page for a list of included accessories, details, and specs. 

How to use the Mignon Zero 65 AP grinder:

  • Weigh out your desired coffee dose with the included 58mm dosing cup on a scale. Next, install the anti-chaff funnel on top of the dosing cup and place the dosing cup on the portafilter rest. It is a tool-free adjustment if you need to adjust the portafilter rest.
  • Ensure that the metal single-dosing hopper tab is closed before grinding; this reduces the popcorning effect and helps grind your dose more consistently. 
  • Once you press the main power switch on the right side of the grinder, open the metal hopper tab to feed the coffee beans through.
  • As soon as the last bean has dropped into the grind chamber, close the metal hopper tab.
  • Once no coffee is coming out of the grind chute, keep the tab closed and press the rubber bellows down to remove any residual coffee grounds. 
  • Turn off the grinder. 

Grind Adjustments:

  • 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: for espresso grinding, you will likely stay within the revolution counter of 1, and work within the settings within one revolution of the dial. 
  • Using the grinder for drip coffee and pour-over will require a large adjustment, likely an entire 360-degree rotation or two. The revolution counter tracks this. When moving from espresso to pour-over, i.e., fine to coarse, it is okay that the grinder is not running. When making large adjustments back to espresso, i.e., 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 jammed. Open the burrs to free the coffee by turning counter-clockwise and making the setting coarser.
