Evidence
What we found
- No high-risk raw materials (such as timber and cotton) are recorded in a major share of its range, so the raw-material check doesn't hold it back for Good.
- Owns or runs its own production
- "Made in Italy" only means the last major stage happened there: under customs and consumer law, materials and parts such as fabric, timber, glass, metal and ceramics can be made elsewhere. It hasn't shown where those earlier stages happen, so where it's made counts towards On Track but not Good.
Research notes Eureka says its grinders are entirely hand-assembled at its own factory in Sesto Fiorentino, near Florence, which it doubled in size in 2025 with a new plant for its Mignon range. It employs over 100 people. Its website shows ISO 9001 and EcoVadis logos, but it publishes no information on where its components come from, how suppliers are checked or what workers are paid, and has no modern slavery statement.
