Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Weber Workshops Key, is priced at $1999 and is designed for advanced users. Conversely, Grinder 2, the Niche Zero, is priced at $580, targeting intermediate skill levels. Both models fall into the semi-automatic category and cater to espresso enthusiasts but at different price points and user experience levels.

Brewing Comparison

Regarding grinding specifications, both grinders employ conical burrs, but the Weber Key features an 83 mm TiN-coated burr compared to the 63 mm hardened steel burr of the Niche Zero. The Key utilizes a stepped adjustment for grind size, offering a range adjustable down to 5 microns, whereas the Niche Zero has a stepless adjustment with a 1-micron scale, allowing for finer tuning. Both grinders feature a single dose hopper, with the Weber Key using an on/off button for dosing, while the Niche Zero operates with a toggle switch.

Features Comparison

In terms of notable features, the Weber Key has adjustable RPM settings ranging from 30 to 300, enabling control over grind speed, while the Niche Zero has a fixed RPM of 330. The grind range of the Key spans from pour-over to Turkish, providing versatile use, while the Niche Zero is limited to pour-over and espresso. Additionally, the Weber Key supports swappable burrs, which adds to its versatility, whereas the Niche Zero lacks this feature.
