EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Niche Zero, is priced at $580 and is designed for individuals at an intermediate skill level. In contrast, Grinder 2, the Bentwood Vertical 63, comes at a significantly higher price of $2,695, targeting advanced users. Both models are categorized as semi-automatic grinders. The substantial price difference indicates varying specifications and target markets tailored to each level of coffee grinding expertise.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Niche Zero employs a conical burr grinding method with a burr diameter of 63 mm, while the Bentwood Vertical 63 uses a flat burr with the same diameter. Both grinders feature stepless adjustment, allowing precise control over grind size, and utilize the same adjustment scale of 1 micron. The Niche Zero uses a single dose hopper with an on/off toggle for dosing, providing simplicity, whereas the Bentwood Vertical 63 employs a timed dosing method with a hopper, facilitating more consistent and hands-free operation. Both grinders maintain low retention rates of less than 0.1 g, ensuring minimal coffee wastage.

Features Comparison

When comparing additional features, the Niche Zero has a grind range suitable for all brewing methods, from pour-over to espresso, but lacks adjustable RPM capabilities. Similarly, the Bentwood Vertical 63 offers the same versatile grind range but operates at a much higher RPM of 1400. Both grinders do not accommodate swappable burrs, ensuring the longevity of the initial burr type, but limiting customization options. Overall, both grinders excel in their capability to deliver finely tuned grind sizes, despite their differing operational features and mechanics.
