james65477564 Tonight I discovered mine was definitely not zero from delivery. The optimum position was spot on but after adjusting zero I had to move the dial clockwise by 4 clicks, which makes my old 11 a 7. This seems to be more in line with others.
citynerd LMSC I’m finding I have to go down to 3 or sub-3 for this light roast [1]. Do you think it might not be calibrated? [1] https://royalmilecoffee.com/products/jawn-of-the-dead
thusband This morning was my first attempt. My wife’s decaf at 6 was a brick, nothing got through. Hers at 10 and my regular at around 15 seems good. Just like my old Zero, everybody will have a different setting. I think I’m gonna like this.
thusband skylark Do you mean the grind setting? No, changing the grind size is simply rotating the big chrome ring.
Cuprajake Really easy turn the silver hopper, even better now as the black ring has a lock screw you can’t accidentally adjust it like on a zero
thusband Cuprajake I’m still not clear on the zeroing procedure but the Niche video is pretty clear. I’ll have to watch it a few more times when the time comes.
Cuprajake You only need to zero if you swap the burrs edited to say if you ever remove the burr from its carrier to fit new mazzer or SSP etc
DavecUK Cuprajake By swap the burrs he means if you ever unscrew the burrs from the carriers and change them for SSP or new Mazzer ones.
james65477564 citynerd My numbers didn’t correlate with what others were getting so that made me check. I then just followed the procedure in the manual.
oddbean LMSC may I ask what basket and how many grams are you using? I have just came across a light roast and even at 2, I can barely get to 20s with 17g. Using IMS H24(16g) curved basket.
PianoMan I’ve just got my Niche Duo, and swapped to my old. SSP HU. Using Union Roast Revelation. My first shots are at number 3 for 16g 28 seconds!😨 Not far off the chirp, and they’re aligned/calibrated. Perhaps it gets better. 😕
PianoMan Cuprajake That sounds like the bitter voice of experience. How’s your dealings with the Duo, so far. Any advice?
