Setting up

  1. Fit the hopper, fill it with whole beans and set the fork height to suit your portafilter.
  2. Eureka’s setup videos for the Specialità and Silenzio show each step.

Grinding and dialling in

  1. Turn the stepless adjustment knob for finer or coarser grind, in small steps, then grind a fresh dose to test.
  2. Specialità and XL: program two timed doses on the touch display, plus continuous mode. Silenzio: set the grind time using its controls as shown in Eureka’s video.
  3. Dial in by taste and shot time: finer if shots run fast, coarser if slow.

Everyday care

  1. Brush any grounds from the chute and fork after use.
  2. Wipe the body with a dry or barely damp cloth.

Cleaning the hopper and burrs

  1. Always unplug the grinder before cleaning. Never use water jets or steam cleaners on it.
  2. Hopper: remove it and wash the inside and lid with water and mild soap to remove coffee oils, dry fully and refit. Not in the dishwasher.
  3. Grinder cleaning granules (such as Cafetto Grinder Clean) can be run through the burrs to absorb oils – Eureka allows food-safe grinder cleaning tablets for a complete clean.
  4. For a deeper clean, Eureka shows how to open the upper burr holder and brush or vacuum the burrs (see the official burr video). If you would rather not open it, we can do it at service.

Burrs and servicing

  • Burrs wear slowly. Have them checked when the grind becomes inconsistent or slow, or with your machine service: every 12 months for home use, every 6 months in cafés.
