The Eureka Atom Specialty 60 is a step up from Eureka’s more affordable home grinders, to the point that it has everything a small café might need, though could also be used at home by a serious espresso enthusiast. Stepless adjustment is conveniently handled through an intuitive knob beside the 500-gram hopper. On-demand grinding is activated by pushing a portafilter against the start button, and coffee is dosed straight into the basket for cleanliness and convenience. The Atom 60 also has the quality-of-life features you’d expect of a commercial grinder, with the ability to configure two time-based dose presets on the small digital display. These features are simple, reliable and easy to operate using the large buttons surrounding the display.

As the name suggests, it features a 60mm burr set. These bring a highly uniform distribution of grind size. Combine this with the grinder’s 400-watt, 1350 RPM motor, and the Atom 60 is a blazing-fast machine. Eureka estimates that it can output anywhere from 1.9 to 3.1 grams per second when grinding at a size appropriate for espresso. It does all this while remaining remarkably quiet; it’s possibly one of the quietest machines of its size on the market thanks to Eureka’s ingenious use of vibration-absorbing material throughout the grinder’s construction. The grinder also features Eureka’s Anti-Clump and Electrostatic (ACE) system, reducing the incidence of clumping and static issues.

The Atom Specialty 60 remains easy to clean, keeping maintenance work to a minimum. As the adjustment mechanism turns the bottom burr rather than the top burr, when opening up the machine to clean out your burrs you won’t lose your meticulously dialled-in espresso settings. This may even encourage you to clean the grinder more! There’s also easy access to the grind chute by a removable cover, something not every grinder of this calibre features. Considering that Eureka’s grinders are as beautiful as they are functional – every grinder is designed and constructed by hand in Italy – it feels right that they’re so easy to take care of and keep in tip-top shape, too.

The Eureka Atom Specialty 60 offers a value proposition that may just be unmatched at this price point. For a small commercial operation or a significant upgrade to a home espresso setup, we would highly recommend the Atom 60.
