FWIW I’ve given up on the Gorilla Gear (NICHE) burrs. The new set are also stalling and I’m fed up with the faff. John Young has agreed to give me my money back. Meanwhile I’ve taken a bit or a punt and ordered an 078s. If I don’t like it I reckon I can always sell it for what it cost and put the money towards a NICHE DUO

Which ships first duo or sculptor

Decent De1pro v1.45 - Niche Duo - Niche Zero - Decent is the best machine ever made -

    Is it true timemore are covering the import fees? Or am I mixing that up with another product

      Cuprajake Supposedly - but proof will be in the pudding so to speak…

        caffeinated-carp I’m not throwing shade at Hoon in particular, I just think most Youtube coffee channels don’t offer any unique inisght or expertise, they just exist to acquire gear.

            MattH Oh dear…. I may have to consider my options..

            Might be a blessing in disguise…you can revisit your decision….😁

                DavecUK I was happy to take a punt as its relative cheap - a bit different to the 2 conical hand grinders, pretty small in size etc. I guess all I really need is something for when I am making drinks back to back and so a hand grinder would be less than ideal.

                Not sure though that I need to consider spending oodles of cash on a grinder - I doubt I would notice all the “differences” in my milk drinks. Maybe a used niche zero is a way to go… not sure I can think of much else in the single dosing market.

                  LMSC Did he make a decision in the end 😂 - I watched/skimmed the other video

                  Which seemed more like a promotion to remind you the kickstarter price is going up again…..

                      MattH make a decision in the end

                      I watched skipping clips.😀

                      He liked the MP burrs on DF64 for turbo shots (for < medium roast). He also said the stock burrs of both DF64v (diamond cut) and 64s made sweet and nice coffee. He initially said he liked shot from the 064s better than Df64. But, later observed comparison is a difficult call as there are many moving parameters like roast type, process (natural, washed, anaerobic), etc.

                        Nothing like being vague so as not to upset anyone.. - I am still undecided as to whether to drop it and look elsewhere

                          MattH ah you were going for the 068, I forgot. Well I suppose it’s more expensive even than the 078 as well

                            I wonder what the point is at which you start to diminishing returns. I think Lance Hedrick touched on this in one of his videos but I can’t remember what grinder he was referring to :)

                            Because it makes me think, I seem to remember the role of thumb was to spend a certain % on your grinder, I seem to recall the advise was more on the grinder even, but my memory is awful!

                            I imagine that’s not a good rule anymore, you can buy machines that are easily 1-2k and then some, and it seems £700 on a grinder gets you something perfectly fine.
