My first post on this forum… I have an existing set of 83mm SSP HU burrs and a Niche Duo which arrives tomorrow. Do I stick with the stock Mazzer Espresso burrs, or install the SSPs? Obviously, the SSP HUs are already seasoned, but if there's no real difference, I believe they'll have a better resale value than the stock Mazzers. Please help!😳

@"PianoMan"#p69083 - You can always try it... Just be warned that this would invalidate the warranty....

minute differenece, depends if you're used to them, you can forget taste quite quickly, try the duo first as is, adding ssp will need a recalibration

> @"MediumRoastSteam"#p69095 You can always try it… Just be warned that this would invalidate the warranty…. Only if you tell them @"PianoMan"#p69102 That looks fine, I wouldn't bother trying to calibrate (trust me on this). The more important thing is centering the burrs in the carriers top/bottom as the SSP burrs are slightly smaller in diameter. SSPs are approx 88.65 mm, Mazzer burrs are pretty much 83mm

@"DavecUK"#p69104 [URL=https://i.imgur.com/wn4of0e.jpeg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/wn4of0e.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] That's as close as I got. Fine by me. I noticed there was a little bit of horizontal play. (and it's been a while since I've seen any horizontal play) 😂 I think my first coffee tasted of dry markers. 😉

> @"PianoMan"#p69107 I think my first coffee tasted of dry markers. 😉 Was that in the tasting notes? 🤪

@"Doram"#p69138 😄Might as well have, considering how much I know about such things.

@"PianoMan"#p69083 just of curiosity, why would you change the burrs so quick without trying the stock Mazzer burrs on the Niche?

@"profesor_historia"#p69191 That's a good question. My SSP HU burrs produced great-tasting coffee on my previous grinder, the DF83. In fact, I only changed that grinder because it was occasionally inconsistent and frustrating to use. I, therefore, assumed they would work in the Duo, and give me the same, but more consistent cup. I left the Mazzer burrs as new to sell. In retrospect, this was a mistake, but then, we all make 'em. 😉 I still had to align the Mazzers. They were surprisingly quite misaligned.

Niche Duo arrives tomorrow. Should I fit my old SSP HU burrs, or sell them?

JimmyP I did try the Mazzers for a month. They’re very good, but prefer the DLC’s. I didn’t do an A/B comparison, and only tried the DLC’s out of curiosity (I had them lying around… Long story), but honestly, it’s a better brew.👍

Are they a direct replacement without gaskets etc?……

PianoMan

Nope just a straight swap. No rubbery additions. I would say they were very similar in dimensions. The grinding is now much faster than with the Mazzers. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not, though. There is more retention on the DLC’s. (about 0.1-0.2g) That doesn’t bother me, but it might some.
