Seasoning new Niche Zero

Dazgough

Hi All,

About to use the NZ for the first time. Should I be pushing through a certain amount of bean upon first use before attempting to brew any coffee? For example to season the burrs and perhaps fill in any small voids?

If so, can I use some older coffee to do this to reduce the waste of new beans?

Cheers

There’s not much on that front.

Personally, if you have old, state coffee… Run it through. Otherwise just grind away and enjoy your coffee.

I’d agree with this, it gets better with user, especially for the first 3kg…but it doesn’t start out terrible by any means. After 3kg the improvements are much smaller for the next 10kg or so,

I would probably dump the first dose that goes through it just incase there are any dust or metal still in the grinder but then just start using it

Awesome. Cheers all.

Much appreciated 👍

I ran about 1Kg of cheap Aldi beans through mine, then cleaned and used

Nightrider_1uk thank you 👍

Just put about 300g of old beans through. Dosing 18g and am consistently getting out either 18g or 17.9g

Nice 😀 or should I say ‘Niche!
