Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Timemore Sculptor 078s utilizes flat burrs with a diameter of 78 mm, and features a stepless adjustment option for precise grinding. It employs a single-dose hopper and primarily doses via an On/Off button. The Niche Zero, on the other hand, has conical burrs with a smaller diameter of 63 mm and also offers stepless adjustment. It uses a single-dose hopper as well, with dosing accomplished through a toggle switch, allowing for consistent and precise measurements in both grinders.

Key features reveal some distinctions; the Timemore has adjustable RPM settings ranging between 800 and 1400, providing flexibility in grind speed. It supports a grind range suitable for making everything from pour-over to espresso.
