What did postman bring today ?

Pompeyexile I’m so excited I think a dribble of wee has escaped

That……my friend……is way too much information!!😃 Enjoy your Nz!

Pompeyexile I keep getting ads on my fb page since I turned a certain age

Tena men

Pompeyexile Haha I was at the airport about to board a plane for a week away and then got my email too. Love that it’s coming early, annoyed I can’t play tomorrow haha. They must have had a big delivery getting March’s batch in this early.

An email from Niche, but I’m still waiting for DPD to confirm when they are delivering it to me

It makes good business sense - under-promise and over-deliver = good. But over-promise and under-deliver = bad.

Mine arrived a few weeks ahead of expectation too, earlier this year. I guess they give a maximum time, with a margin of error, and then aim to beat it. And I was similarly delighted. Still am, for that matter. It felt like Christmas arrived as expected on Dec 25th, and then again, a couple of weeks later. .

Let´s hope they over deliver in my case. When I ordered mine NZ, they said delivery in March.

Lelit say that they will ship end February, so maybe, just maybe they will arrive very soon.

Well the Niche Zero arrived a couple of hours ago. It took about 8 tries to get a decent shot of Neighbourhood Coffee Brewhemian Rhapsody but I got there in the end😎I’m happy but that might be down to the massive caffeine hit I’ve just had. I had to adjust the setting a lot coarser than I expected (28-29) to get a good extraction - 18g in basket, 37g out in 32 seconds (including 6 seconds pre-infusion. Tomorrow I will be trying a grind for the V60 as I’ve had too much coffee today.

Yorkie_Al As a tip, when at espresso grind levels, 1 mark is about 4 seconds on/off the pour

For filter you have top grind quite coarse, probably at the end of the scale or even more

TA DAAAAAAAA!

No excuses now, I can’t blame my tools if the coffee is still rubbish, it’s because I’m a bad workman (home barista)..hah!

Big learning curve for me now.

Cuprajake Where did you get the fellow cup from? Fancy them loads as well but can only seem to find US suppliers last I looked. Also prices are extortionate.

ebay, coffee hit about £22.00 why i snapped it up

Pompeyexile The niche does seems nice, but I fear the quality isn’t worth the price. I’ve heard things like the switch breaking easily… Which isn’t a good sign. Probably not the best build quality for longevity, but I suppose it’s amazing for single dosing which makes people enticed by it.

Well, that’s the first I’ve heard of build quality concerns with the Niche. Taking it out of the box it is heavy, solid and doesn’t move a millimeter in operation. The switch has a firm positive feel with no play in it. Like anything, only time will tell, but it seems as well built and as sturdy as my old Brasilia and that was a metal monster.
