Machine Overview

The Niche Zero and Kingrinder K2 are two espresso grinders catering to different skill levels and budgets. The Niche Zero, priced at $580, is designed for intermediate users, while the Kingrinder K2 offers an entry-level option at just $79, making it more accessible for beginners. Both brands provide high-quality coffee grinding experiences but target different customer segments.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Niche Zero utilizes a 63mm conical burr made of hardened steel, featuring a stepless adjustment mechanism allowing for precise grind size settings at 1-micron increments. It operates with a single dose hopper and employs an on/off toggle for dosing, which results in minimal retention of less than 0.1 grams. Conversely, the Kingrinder K2 features a smaller 48mm conical burr and offers stepped adjustment with a coarser change of 18 microns between settings, also utilizing a single dose hopper but requiring manual operation for dosing, resulting in slightly higher retention of less than 0.2 grams.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, the Niche Zero does not have adjustable RPM settings but boasts a versatile grind range suitable for everything from pour-over to espresso. It also does not support swappable burrs, emphasizing a more fixed grinding approach. The Kingrinder K2 lacks adjustable RPM as well; however, it has a similar grind range capability and does not offer swappable burrs either. Despite their differences, both grinders are designed to effectively serve the various needs of coffee enthusiasts.
