The DF64 Gen 2 ($399) and Eureka Mignon Specialità ($449) are both flat-burr electric espresso grinders at similar price points, but with meaningful differences. The DF64 runs 64mm burrs at 1000 RPM with a 250g hopper and covers espresso through filter. The Specialità uses 55mm burrs at 1350 RPM with a 300g hopper and is espresso-focused.
The DF64's 64mm burrs are larger than the Specialità's 55mm, which generally favors the DF64 on particle size uniformity. However, the DF64's design has a reputation for requiring more user setup and adjustment out of the box, including potential burr alignment work. The Specialità is more plug-and-play for espresso.
The Specialità's 300g hopper suits households pulling multiple shots from a consistent bean supply. The DF64's 250g hopper offers similar capacity but with broader grind range, making it more useful if you also brew filter coffee. The Specialità's micrometric stepless adjustment is well-regarded for espresso dialing precision.
At just $50 apart, the choice is narrow. The DF64 Gen 2 wins on burr size and versatility. The Specialità wins on build refinement, workflow familiarity, and espresso-specific tuning. Both produce quality espresso — the DF64 suits tinkerers; the Specialità suits those who want a reliable daily driver.
