“Great grinder and built like a tank. I like the grind by time feature. Originally thought about exchanging/updrading for the Atom, but then realized that part of the fun for me is the more manual weighing of the portafilter. That and my wife would not be thrilled if I spent more money... :-)”
Hi Keith,
Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! We're happy to hear the Mignon Oro XL is hitting the mark — it’s definitely a solid piece of equipment.

“Fantastic grinder but the hopper leaves some to be desired. I decided to get rid of it for a single dose modification as seen in the picture. With this setup (including a spray of water) I'm getting between 0 and .2g of retention after seasoning the burrs and filling the gaps through regular usage. It can be a bit messy (use a pf funnel) but it grinds fast. I only use it for espresso. I like it better than the actual single dose version because of the screen and power button. I like being able to tap the on button with the portafilter instead of having to press a switch on the side for on/off. Great grinder...4 stars”
