EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Niche Duo and Timemore Sculptor 078s are both semi-automatic espresso grinders, with prices set at approximately $700 and $699, respectively. While they cater to similar audiences, the Niche Duo is designed for advanced users, whereas the Timemore Sculptor targets intermediate users. These distinctions may influence a buyer's choice based on their experience level and expectations from the grinder.

Brewing Comparison

Both grinders utilize flat burrs and employ a stepless adjustment mechanism, allowing for precise grind modifications. The Niche Duo features an 83 mm burr diameter and a single dose hopper, operating with an on/off toggle for dosing. In contrast, the Timemore Sculptor has a slightly smaller 78 mm burr diameter and also uses a single-dose system, but it activates with a side press button. Both grinders report a retention of less than 0.1 g, ensuring minimal leftover grounds.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, the Niche Duo does not have adjustable RPM while focusing on a consistent grind range tailored for espresso, with swappable burrs for customization. On the other hand, the Timemore Sculptor includes adjustable RPM capabilities between 800 and 1400, accommodating different grind ranges from pour over to espresso, but lacks swappable burrs. These differences highlight the unique strengths of each grinder in terms of user flexibility and grinding potential.
