Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Niche Duo, is priced at $700 and is aimed at advanced users, while Grinder 2, the Niche Zero, comes in at $580 and is designed for intermediate skill levels. Both grinders are manufactured by Niche and fall under the semi-automatic category. The price difference reflects the targeted user experience and capabilities of each model.

Brewing Comparison

The Niche Duo utilizes flat burrs with an 83 mm diameter, allowing for smooth and consistent espresso grinding, while the Niche Zero employs conical burrs with a 63 mm diameter, suitable for a wider grind range from pour-over to espresso. Both grinders feature a stepless adjustment system that allows for precise 1-micron increments, enhancing the grind customization experience. Each grinder is equipped with a single-dose hopper that facilitates minimal waste and freshness. The primary dosing method for both models involves an on/off toggle, ensuring easy operation and consistent performance.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, the Niche Duo does not have adjustable RPMs but has a robust retention rate of less than 0.1 g and swappable burrs, lending to versatility over time. The Niche Zero has a grind range encompassing various brew methods, though it lacks swappable burrs. Both models emphasize low retention, which is crucial for maintaining grind quality. Overall, while they share some similarities, their distinct characteristics cater to different user preferences and experiences.
