Machine Overview

The Niche Zero and Niche Duo espresso grinders are both produced by the same brand, Niche, and are classified as semi-automatic grinders. The Niche Zero is priced at $580 and is aimed at intermediate skill level users, while the Niche Duo is offered at a higher price of $700 and targets advanced users.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Niche Zero utilizes conical burrs with a diameter of 63mm, while the Niche Duo features larger flat burrs at 83mm. Both grinders have a stepless adjustment mechanism and a single-dose hopper type, enabling precise grind settings down to 1 micron. The primary dosing method for both is via an On/Off toggle, which provides consistent dosing, and both grinders retain less than 0.1g of coffee grounds.

Features Comparison

Key features between the two include that the Niche Zero has a grind range for both espresso and pour-over, while the Niche Duo is strictly focused on espresso grinding. The Niche Duo is equipped with swappable burrs, unlike the Zero, which adds versatility for advanced users who may want to experiment with different burr types. Furthermore, the Niche Zero operates at a speed of 330 RPM, while the Niche Duo has a faster grinding speed of 530 RPM, potentially impacting the efficiency of the grinding process.
