EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Bentwood Vertical 63, is priced at $2,695 and is designed for advanced users, while Grinder 2, the Niche Zero, is more accessible at $580, aimed at intermediate skill levels. Both belong to the semi-automatic category, with Bentwood catering to seasoned espresso enthusiasts and Niche targeting those with developing expertise.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Bentwood uses flat burrs with a diameter of 63 mm made from Bentwood Special Steel, employing a stepless adjustment for precise grind settings. In contrast, the Niche Zero features conical burrs, also 63 mm, composed of hardened steel, similarly allowing for stepless adjustments. The Bentwood operates with a hopper system and employs a timed dosing method, while the Niche Zero uses a single-dose hopper with an on/off toggle for dosing. Both grinders maintain low retention (less than 0.1 g), ensuring minimal waste of coffee grounds.

Features Comparison

When it comes to key features, neither grinder offers adjustable RPM; however, both have a comprehensive grind range suitable for various brewing methods, from pour-over to espresso. The Bentwood High RPM reaches 1,400, while the Niche operates at 330 RPM, which may impact grind consistency. Both grinders lack swappable burrs, meaning users must replace the entire burr set as needed instead of switching for different grind types. The Niche Zero provides a 58 mm grind cup for easier dosing, while the Bentwood lacks a dedicated dose cup.
