wilburpan But this design begs the question of why a cut out would be necessary if a motor is spec’ed that’s powerful enough to grind coffee beans to espresso sizes with a given burr size.

Until people see it in action, there’s no point speculating what it can or can’t do. How can you say the motor is powerful enough, or not, if you haven’t seen it working? You are making a lot of comments regarding burr size, geometry and whatever else, without even seen a video of the grinder turned off, let alone on.

Best to wait and see. And then make comments. Drives me mad.

    Doram I would probably prefer to save the cost and have the second set sold separately as an option

    Same here. Personally, I don’t drink filter coffee, and would have much preferred to choose if I wanted burr A, burr B or both and have a reduction in price.

    Saying that, if I end up buying one, curiosity would no doubt get the better of me and I’ll end up drinking filter coffee just because I have the correct burrs! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    wilburpan gn. But this design begs the question of why a cut out would be necessary

    In case the burrs jam. I dropped a screw in one once, burrs stopped and it cut out. This protects the motor. It’s also good for compliance.

    JHCCoffee really not qualified to comment sorry. Reason is that I’ve never used the Niche for anything other than medium/light or darker. The Kony burrs are great for a strong tasting ristretto or espresso or to punch through milk but something like the Moca SD helps me pick up different flavor notes from the same bean.

    So I’ve been lucky enough to be testing the Niche duo for the last 6 months

      Looks and sounds bad. A bit of a struggle. A no from me.

      I like the sleeves on the cups jake, what are they?

        An interesting post yesterday on the Decent Diaspora from the very discerning John Buckman. Sounds like he got one at the same time as you Jake (congrats by the way, that’s a helluva coup!).

        **We got ours about six months ago, and we’ve been using it daily since then.
        I’m waiting on a reply from Martin @ Niche about how much I can say, as we did have it under confidentiality.

        But, I only have positive things to say.**

        Cuprajake you are one very dark horse! Must have been hard keeping that under wraps all this time. That is amazing.

        MediumRoastSteam Just to clarify, you had asked this question a while back:

        MediumRoastSteam How many watts is the current Niche Zero’s motor?

        I looked into this, and answered that this information doesn’t seem to be available of the Niche, although it seems to be readily available for the motors in most other grinders on the market. That led to a discussion about the cut out feature of the Niche, and whether the wattage of the motor applies given that feature. The discussion expanded to general principles of spec’ing a motor for any given task, in this case an espresso grinder in general, not the new 83mm Niche in particular.

        My apologies for not being more clear. Maybe I should quote more in my replies.

          I suppose time to put my photos up.

          baby bear and his two big brothers. It’s plastic wrap on the lids, I suppose I should have removed it, bgut I like to keep things Pristine. The 3rd big brother is in the other room.

            Eesh the size makes it look even worse for me.

            So now we know it’s in the hands of forum people, is the motor the same as the Zero?

            Not a clue as to what the motor is

            What I can say is that it’s ground everything I’ve stuck in it,

            Will also say that most of the Evo shot vids I’ve posted since Nov have been with the duo.

            Would you like my thoughts in this thread or a fresh one for easier to find info?
