I bet that Eureka grinder is kind of cute.

You can see it here http://www.eureka.co.it/home.php?id=mignon_famiglia


That was a joke. "Mignon" in French is the masculine adjectival form of the word "cute." Given their similar Latin roots, I'd imagine it means something similar in Italian.

I think in Italian it means miniature. But nice try.
