In contrast, Grinder 2, The Key by Weber Workshops, is significantly more expensive at $1,999 and caters to advanced users. Both grinders fall under the semi-automatic type category, reflecting a similar operational approach while appealing to different expertise levels.

Brewing Comparison

Regarding grinding information, both grinders utilize conical burrs but differ in size and adjustment styles. The Niche Zero has a 63 mm hardened steel burr and employs a stepless adjustment system, allowing for precise tuning between full-coffee types from pour over to espresso. In contrast, The Key features an 83 mm TiN-coated burr and uses a stepped adjustment, offering increments of 5 microns within a grind range that covers from pour over to Turkish coffee. Both grinders are equipped with a single dose hopper, which helps minimize retention, maintained at less than 0.1 g, ensuring minimal waste and maximum freshness.

In terms of key features, the Niche Zero has a fixed rpm of 330, whereas The Key has adjustable rpm ranging from 30 to 300, providing greater versatility in grinding speed. Both grinders boast extensive grinding ranges, making them suitable for various brewing methods. Additionally, The Key allows for swappable burrs, providing users with the option to change burr types for different coffee experiences, while the Niche Zero does not offer this feature. These distinctions highlight the varying capabilities and preferences each grinder caters to.
