EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Niche Zero from Niche is priced at $580 and is designed for intermediate users, while the SPTK-38G from 58espresso is aimed at beginners and retails for $259. Both models fall under the semi-automatic grinder category and serve the home coffee brewing market. Their pricing reflects the different target skills, with the Niche Zero being more expensive due to its advanced features.

Brewing Comparison

Both grinders utilize a conical burr grinding method. The Niche Zero features a larger 63mm burr diameter made from hardened steel, whereas the SPTK-38G has a 38mm nitrogen steel burr, providing a different grinding experience. The Niche Zero employs a stepless adjustment for precise grind size control, allowing adjustments as fine as 1 micron, while the SPTK-38G utilizes a stepped adjustment with a coarser scale of 25 microns. Each grinder has a single-dose hopper type, facilitating fresh grinding, but the Niche Zero has a primary dosing method via an on/off toggle, compared to the SPTK-38G’s on/off button.

Features Comparison

In terms of key features, neither grinder offers adjustable RPM or swappable burrs. However, both models provide a versatile grind range suitable for various brewing methods from pour-over to espresso. The Niche Zero operates at a speed of 17 seconds for 18 grams of espresso, whereas the SPTK-38G completes the same task more slowly at 50 seconds, reflecting the differences in design and motor wattage. Overall, these features indicate different user experiences while grinding, catered to varying preferences and brewing styles.
