Machine Overview

The Timemore Sculptor 064S is priced at $499 and is designed for intermediate skill levels, while the Niche Duo comes at a higher price of $700 and is tailored for advanced users. Both grinders are categorized as semi-automatic, serving the espresso market but appealing to different expertise. The Timemore brand focuses on providing high-quality features at a more accessible price point.

Brewing Comparison

Both grinders utilize flat burrs for grinding; the Timemore features a 64mm steel burr, while the Niche Duo offers a larger 83mm hardened steel burr modeled after Mazzer. Both models are equipped with stepless adjustment that allows for precise micro-adjustments, facilitating fine-tuning for espresso. They also use single-dose hoppers, which reduces stale grounds and ensures freshness with every grind, utilizing an on/off button for dosing in Timbermore and a toggle switch in Niche Duo. The retention for both grinders is impressive, being less than 0.1 grams.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, the Niche Duo does not have adjustable RPM, operating at a fixed 530 RPM, whereas the Timemore supports adjustable RPM between 800 and 1200 RPM, catering to varying grind needs. The grind range for the Timemore spans from pour-over to espresso, while the Niche Duo is limited exclusively to espresso. Additionally, the Niche Duo has swappable burrs, offering flexibility for different grinding requirements, a feature not available in the Timemore Sculptor.
