I make no bones about the fact that I am a big Zero supporter. I bought two when the first Crowdfunding campaign started and have owned them continuously since. They do what it says on the tin ie next to no retention and just work. In addition, they are now a mature product with very few reported problems since launch. This is despite the haters (of which there are many) trying their hardest to knock.
I remember one much mooted alternate by a group was to buy up Azkoyen Capriccio’s which in car terms are the equivalent to a Lada Riva, pre-production model and modify them and then take over the world. Well, we are still waiting for that one…..LOVL.
The Zero uses the well respected burrs from the Mazzer Kony. So, my question is if a Zero owner were wanting to try another CONICAL grinder, what would they go to? At the price point it is unique. Let us set a budget of say £1100 which is approximately twice the cost of the Zero.
This is the question that I have had to ask myself over the past couple of years. The decision to go down the Kafatek route evolved over 2 years or so, and was partly arrived at by the apparent lack of opposition. remember, the suggestions have to at least be as good as. Many of the alternates have known issues and therefore I discounted them.
I am just interested in folks thoughts. I have been trying to find watchable content on the MC6. All of the influencers seem to trot out exactly the same line (as an attack weapon) and that is the MC6 is about 5 times the price of a Niche Zero but is it 5 times better? The simple answer of course is no so it really is a stupid point. Influencers on the whole talk a pile of dog’s doo doo’s in their quest to create content. One such person is yet another shaven headed person with less than 8000 subscribers who creates content of very low quality in my opinion, and if you then compare what he has produced with another pony tailed influencer with 244,000 subscribers they both have very similar content and parrot the same nonsense. It really is difficult trying to use other peoples content opinions with enough salt to flavour your potatoes…….which is why I watch very little of this sort of thing
