Dirty Little Grinder: Cleaning Your Eureka Mignon Specialita Espresso Grinder

#coffee #espresso
From dirty little machine to sparkling clean! See how to thoroughly clean your Eureka Mignon Specialita Espresso grinder. Probably the most thorough grinder cleaning you'll see.

Quick interruption: If you want to improve your espressos (and espresso based drinks) I've found keeping track of your extractions is the best way. So I created an espresso journal to do just that. Get your espresso journal on Amazon here:

UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/Espresso-Jou...
(Of course you can get it outside of those countries too just go to one of those links and change your country).

After owning the Eureka Mignon Specialita for well over a year I've learned (the hard and long way) how to get it so clean it looks and works almost as new again.

I'll take you through each stage of the clean, step-by-step:
