Installation Instructions
Be sure to check the product images above for a step-by-step visual guide.
- Prepare Your Grinder: Remove the original hopper and clean out all old beans and grounds. We recommend using a vacuum cleaner to ensure the grinder inlet is completely free of debris.
- Insert the Hopper: Press the hopper into the grinder inlet as far as possible. Be sure to check that the screw on the grinder inlet is loose and the accent sleeve is slid up the hopper before inserting the hopper.
- Tighten the Screw: Use a phillips head screwdriver to tighten the screw and secure the hopper and ensure it doesn't wobble. Please note that the screw may mar/dent the hopper. This is normal as the screw bites into the aluminum to secure the hopper.
- Position the Accent Sleeve: Slide the accent sleeve down until it is flush with your grinder top plate. Proudly display the ARO Espresso logo for a bold, branded look, or rotate it to hide the logo for a more minimalist appearance.
If you're installing the single dose hopper with our ARO Espresso Grinder Setting Dial for Eureka Mignon, the steps above are the same. To tighten the screw, ensure the accent sleeve on the hopper is slid up the hopper and lift the dial to access the screw. Once tight, press the dial back into place and slide the sleeve down to rest on the dial.
To remove the hopper, simply lift the sleeve, loosen the screw, and pull the hopper upwards out of your grinder.
Please send us a message if you need any assistance with installation or removal!
Usage Instructions
Be sure to check the product images above for a step-by-step visual guide.
- Load the Beans: Weigh out your preferred dose and pour your beans into the hopper. Tip: the silicone bellows can be used for easy measurement and transfer of your beans!
- Set the Bellows: Place the silicone bellows on top of the hopper.
- Grind: Press the grinder trigger to start grinding.
- Purge the Grinder: Once grinding is complete, pump the silicone bellows to purge the grinder. This works best while the grinder is spinning; restart the grinder if needed or adjust the grind time to ensure all beans are ground and there is extra time to purge the grinder. Don't be afraid to give it some aggressive pumps and be sure to use the palm of your hand to compress the entire bellows.
- Enjoy: Savor the aroma and taste of the freshest cup of espresso.

Other Useful Info
The single dose hopper can comfortably hold up to 65 grams of beans. If you need to grind more than this, simply reload the hopper or add more beans as they are being ground.
If you have low cabinets, this hopper is the ideal solution. Without the bellows, it sits 1.75" (45mm) lower than the stock hopper making it possible to store the machine under low cabinets. See the images for more details on total height with the single dose hopper and bellows installed.
I’m very happy with this single dose hopper. Very easy install and looks very nice!
Best addition to a Mignon grinder. The stock bellows are horrible and just make a mess all over the counter. Without this hopper and the inclined stand I would’ve gone back to using my DF54.
Great product
So much easier than the original design. Also make internal cleaning easier with the magnetic knob so you don’t loose your settings.
It looks great but even when using RDT, too much grinds will popcorn and get stuck inside.
Everything arrived as described waiting to install
looks great and feels really well built and moreover work perfectly making calibration much easy. Costumer support could not be batter.
Well thought out design that works as it should, good job creating this produ t to keep our ground bean retention low and clean!
This works great!
High quality too.
This company has the best upgrades for my grinder. Makes it easy to expel grounds and looks great. Very easy to install
This review is for the single dose hopper + bellows, the larger grinder setting dial and the single dosing kit (angled base + silicone mat). What a massive difference this has made! Specifically, I now have the option to have several different beans on hand and use a different one for each shot.
The big precision dial markings make it easy to document the correct grinder setting once I've got some beans dialed in, and then I just label each kind of bean with the dial settings. I gave my grinder a good deep cleaning before installing the single dose hopper. There's always a bit of a breaking in period after you do this (about 6 or 7 doses of beans in my case) but now that I'm past that, I'm getting maybe 0.1-0.2g retention at most. It's important to pump the bellows right at the end of grinding. Three quick, somewhat aggressive pumps pushes a surprising amount of grounds out.
Everything looks great and feels really well built. I love the knurled texture on the knob. The metal hopper feels solid, and I even enjoy the metallic sound every time I dump some beans in. The silicone mat makes things easy to clean when there are stray grounds (a wide dosing funnel on my portafilter really minimizes this).
There are a lot of other options online, and I spent a lot of time looking around and researching before deciding on Aro, and I have absolutely no regrets.s
Build quality is very nice, for all part, but I didn't realize the dial didnt work with the zero 65 ap. So far I'm using the hopper and enjoy it.
It would be nice if it fit a bit snugger or if I could attach it more securely
Very good quality. Easy to install. Amazing how much coffee comes out of the grinder when using the bellows at end of grinding!
Well made, quality product!
I’m very pleased with my single dose hopper and grind adjust dial. The bellows does a great job of clearing the grinds and then the dial makes it super easy to move between my caffeinated and decaffeinated settings!
Set up was reasonably straightforward after watching the video and getting he order right.
The new larger knob makes it harder to get the top off for cleaning. But it does mean I recalibrate the zero setting whenever I clean the grinder.
Loved thisI go tthe hopper and the large dial and it's turned my mignon into a great little single dose grinder.
Simple to install and really nice quality 👍
High quality as expected
The hopper is great, and the large dial accessory does the job. However, the top plate of the large dial is not securely bonded to the large gear wheel underneath. It can be kinda/sorta snapped back into place, but (if the situation isn't closely monitored) it is possible to dial in an incorrect grind setting.
