The Weber Workshops Key grinder is priced at $1999 and is marketed towards advanced users, while the Niche Duo grinder is more accessible at $700, also targeting advanced enthusiasts. Both grinders are classified as semi-automatic, suggesting they require some manual input from the user for operation. Each brand emphasizes quality and durability, appealing to serious coffee aficionados. The price difference reflects the potential variations in features and performance.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Weber Key utilizes a conical burr method with a burr diameter of 83mm, allowing for a full grinding range from pour-over to Turkish coffee. The grinder features a stepped adjustment scale of 5 microns with a button activation mechanism and single dose hopper. In contrast, the Niche Duo uses flat burrs of the same diameter, but with a stepless adjustment scale of 1 micron, giving users finer control for espresso grinding. It employs a toggle switch for activation and also has a single dose hopper, providing similar convenience.

Key features reveal both grinders' advanced capabilities. The Weber Key grinder has adjustable RPM ranging from 30 to 300, which allows for versatility and control over the grind speed. On the other hand, the Niche Duo has a higher fixed RPM of 530, which results in quicker grind times with an espresso grind speed of 17 seconds for 18 grams of coffee. Both grinders support swappable burrs, allowing for personalization and maintenance to suit individual preferences or to adapt to different grind requirements.
