MediumRoastSteam I would expect them to grind and pull at least a shot! It is a standard practice.

Edit:

I don’t have an instagram account. I did see one video of the seller swapping the burrs and nothing else. I don’t know, if there are more than one video.

      LMSC is there a youtube video?

      If you click on those links above, ultimately it’s a video. They’re public, you don’t need an Instagram account.

          I’m guessing the flow control disc helps with the power requirements. How much is a Lagom or that Chinese thing (solo?).

          LMSC Nope, unfortunately! It asks me to sign in either Facebook or instagram! :-)

          You are right! - I’m now confused! it allowed me to watch the video earlier, but now it asks me to sign in.

          No thanks! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

              Personally, I might give it a go IF the price is sensible, and it comes direct from Niche. I’m not holding my breath for that, though. Third-party adaptations? No doubt some will go for it, but that isn’t for me. I’m happy enough with the Niche as-is.

              For me, this defeats the object of the niche. A single dose big conical burr grinder at a sensible price. If I wanted a 65mm flat burr grinder, I’d just buy one. There are plenty to choose from. The niche is currently unique at its price point. 65mm flats not so much…

              Definitely not going to be a cheap solution given his porcupress is nearly 300USD but fair play to him for making it work.

              Very impressive how quick it is to convert, building on the Niche’s great design there. My main concern would be motor and if this puts too much stress on it.

              Cmon, does nobody on here want to be a tester?

              Interesting development and it looks incredibly easy to do, but as others have already stated - this is not what the Niche was designed to do so I think I’d be wary of modifying it for this purpose if I had one.

              Assuming the niche components are up to the job, I think there would certainly be a market for a flat burr niche.

              The DF64 isn’t close in terms of build quality. I own a DF64 and as an ex-niche owner, I’d definitely sell it for a flat burr niche. Great work by the designer and I’ll be crossing my fingers that it works out (though having seen the size of the niche motor and the plastic gearbox, I’m not too hopeful).

                Have you ever heard even one report of a planetary gearbox failing on a Niche. Remember always 3 teeth in contact with a planetary, which spreads the load. Only a single tooth in contact with spur gears. In fact the only person to ever bust anything in the Niche drivetrain, was me with a prototype. I worked on a fix with Martin to ensure it should never break in that way again.

                Must be a 58mm burr, 64mm, I don’t believe will fit. Also IMO that particular wind of the niche motor, with the zeros planetary box has more than sufficient power and torque for those burrs…it will never stall.

                The big problem is the speed of the burrs gives much less than optimal packing (coffee). Hence suboptimal results.

                P.S. Advanced acetal gearboxes good, steel bad in that specific application.

                  He says the smaller burrs are 54mm and then it looks like 58mm SSP multi-purpose, then some sort of 60mm standard espresso geometry burr (two screw holes).

                  SSP make all the fancy burrs in 58mm and 60mm and think that’s plenty big enough to produce great coffee. If Dave says the components are up to the job and the designer says he’s had no issues with the lower rpm then sounds like all systems go!
