Eureka Atom Espresso Grinder in Red
Eureka Atom Overview
A step up in size and power from the Eureka Mignon is the Atom. Though it’s not as impressive as when Einstein split the actual atom, this baby can sure split a bean. Similar to the Mignon, the Atom is stepless, and its easy-grip knob glides between fine and coarse grinds in a twist or two.
Features and Performance
The Atom’s portafilter catch can be adjusted to fit any portafilter, and easily lifts off so you can slide the included grounds container into place. We love this functionality, but we have to say that it’s impractical to make the switch back and forth if you’re brewing for both every single day. In that case we’d recommend picking up another grinder for coarse brews, and dedicating the Atom to espresso.
Speaking of espresso, the Atom can be programmed to dispense a single or double shot at the press of a button, and, of course, manual grinding is always an option too. Programming the Atom is much easier than many other grinders we’ve seen. There’s no menu, none, just select a shot and press plus or minus to make adjustments within 1/10th of a second. Color us impressed.
Speaking of color, choose between white, black, and chrome, whichever is suited to your tastes. Personally, we like the shiny one, but the black one gives us an Atari vibe, and the white one reminds some of us how much we love our Macs. So, what we’re saying is, you really can’t go wrong.
Why You Should Get It
The Atom is equipped with a speedy 450 watt motor and 60mm burrs, and we were amazed at just how quiet it is during grinding. One of our favorite things about the Atom is the fact that you can lift off the burrs for cleaning without having to calibrate them once you’re done. Meaning, no need to dial back in your grind afterwards, because the grind setting is adjusted using the bottom burr, which stays locked in place.
Extra-fluffy grounds disperse evenly into the middle of your portafilter, with little to no spillage short of that of an overflowing basket. In all, we think the Atom is not only intuitive and versatile, it has a great vibe. For those in need of a bit more power and capacity, take a look at the Zenith; or, for the space-conscious, the Mignon is a great fit.

I love this grinder. The Eureka Atom is both form and function. I had a nice conical grinder before – it was good but so loud. I’m an engineer with high standards. As my coffee perfectionism has grown, I’ve learned that I love a grinder this
Jason Harris –
After two months’ hard use, this grinder is excellent in terms of noise, dosing convenience and consistency of grind. I cannot imagine a more perfect grinder – fluffy, static-free grinds, practically zero retention, simple and flexible adjustment, automatic repeatable dosing – dial-in for espresso was a breeze! Absolutely no regrets!

We upgraded from a Baratza Virtuoso, to which we had added the optional scale. It did a good job, but you could only approximate the ideal grind. The Eureka is undoubtedly professional grade. The ground coffee is completely clump-free and I rarely lose any grounds out of the portafilter. I’m just waiting for my points to activate so I can buy a decRead more about review stating Excellent Grinder!ent scale to fully take advantage of the infinite grind settings.

I had a fairly fancy grinder but this blows it out of the water. It’s remarkably quiet, quick, and easy to use. It’s also beautifully made. It was a hard decision to go way over my budget, but am now confident that it is well worth it and can’t imagine that I’ll ever need another grinder. Paired with a Synchronika.
Kalani Reyes –
Although I have been upgrading my espresso making system for decades, I had no idea a professional grinder could make such a difference. This machine is AWESOME! Being able to dial in grind size in such small increments makes a huge difference in espresso quality. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase.

This is a fantastic grinder and I’m glad I splurged on it. I make flat whites every morning with an expobar office lever. I upgraded to te cesso from a rancilio rocky with which I was never able to achieve consistent results. The cesso is extremely precise and predictable— I’m able to modify the grind setting with new beams remarkably easily with Read more about review stating Fantastic grinderusually only one or two test shots. This reliability is the most important thing to me because my coffee routine is really about the ease of having great espresso every single morning without a lot of trial and error. I haven’t had a sink shot in months. This ceado grinder in conjunction with an Acaia lunar scale have made the biggest improvement in my daily coffee routine.
