Zero

Their Niche Zero choked and stalled on very dark roast when new.

“I put some very dark roast in my Niche Zero when I first got it and it immediately choked on it and stalled.”

Three years with their Niche Zero and they are perfectly content.

“I bought a Silvia and a Niche Zero three years ago for my first setup, and I am perfectly content. Works great everyday.”

Their Niche Zero gives easy workflow and full-bodied shots, but needed a bellows for retention.

“I was amazed by how much retention the niche zero still gets.”

Their Niche Zero is mess-free but their Kinu M47 makes distinctly better espresso.

“The espresso produced from the manual grinder is distinctly better”

Their Niche Zero massively improved their coffee.

“I have the niche zero too and it did massively improve my coffee.”

With the bellows upgrade their Niche Zero has zero retention and no carry-over between coffees.

“Bellows really make it zero retention without having any exchange of grounds from the previous coffee.”

They still have and love their Niche Zero for its very easy workflow.

“They have about the easiest workflo I've ever had. Still have Niche Zero. Love it.”

Their Niche Zero seems much better for espresso than pour-over, where their brews stall.

“the Niche was advertised as a pour over grinder that can also do espresso, but seems much better for espresso.”

Their Niche Zero was bad for pour-over and only OK for espresso.

“I’ve got a niche zero which sucked for pour overs but works ok for my espresso.”

Their Niche Zero is the easy, reliable family espresso workhorse.

“The Zero is the workhorse for the family espresso (4 coffee drinkers), and they refused to let it go; it is just easy and reliable.”

They are more than happy with their Niche Zero.

“I am more than happy with my Niche Zero at home”

Their Niche Zero produced bad fines for filter coffee.

“if you’re going to do filter at all. I wouldn’t not recommend due to the fines production. It was pretty bad in my experience.”

Their Niche Zero started smoking after grinding an ultralight roast.

“My Niche started smoking after the third attempt to grind an ultralight coffee”

Their Niche Zero grinder is built like a tank.

“It’s still within their budget and it is a tank.”

They prefer their Niche Zero over their Lagom Casa for most espresso.

“I have a casa and a NZ and prefer the NZ for most espresso.”

Owning a Niche since the Kickstarter, they found Niche's support amazing and the grinder easy to repair.

“I’ve had a unit since the kickstarter and having a problem with mine myself, Niche were amazing.”

Their Niche Zero served them really well over two years of daily use.

“For the past ~2 years I’ve owned a Profitec Go and a Niche Zero. I used them daily for a long time and they’ve served me really well.”

Their Niche Zero is their favorite for traditional espresso, more enjoyable than their Weber Key Mk.2.

“I’d lean towards the niche zero personally, my fave”

Their Niche Zero retains far more than claimed and needs lots of bellows pumping every time.

“my niche zero is the same, even though ppl say it has almost no retention. it's complete bs”

Years with their Niche Zero for espresso, but for filter it can't bring out fruit acidity in light roasts.

“I would imagine it’s because the conical burrs of the niche just produce too many fines”

Loves the Niche Zero they've owned for over three years.

“James’ channel turned me on to the Niche Zero which I have owned for 3+ years. Love it!”

Eighteen months with their Niche Zero without feeling any need to look at alternatives.

“I've had my Niche Zero for 18 months and in that time have not even bothered to research alternatives or newer options.”

Loves their Niche Zero for keeping the morning workflow simple; it just works.

“I love my Niche Zero, it helps leep my morning workflow simple and meditative, it just works.”

Super happy with their Niche Zero.

“Super happy with my Niche Zero, and looks like everyone else having one loves it.”

Nearly six years with their Niche for medium-dark roasts, still in love with it and trouble-free with simple maintenance.

“I’ve had my Niche for close to 6 yrs…prefer medium-dark roasts, and I’m still in love with it….it just runs with simple maintenance without issues.”

Six years with their Niche and no reason to change; it handles medium and occasional light roasts well.

“Have had my Niche for 6 years, and i have no reasons to change.”

Sold their Niche Zero for a Weber Key Mk1 and has regretted it ever since.

“Niche Zero. Sold mine for a WW Key Mk1 and have regretted it ever since.”

Cleaning their Niche Zero takes under five minutes.

“I clean my Niche Zero every 2-3 weeks. Takes less than 5 minutes.”

Their Niche Zero still works flawlessly after over three years without cleaning.

“I haven’t cleaned my niche zero in over 3 years and still works flawlessly”

Adding a Niche Zero to their old Silvia made a huge difference and let them single-dose decaf.

“I bought the Niche and kept the Silvia. Here I got to see the difference of a grinder some better puck prep and using a single dose set up”

Loves both their Niche Zero and 1Zpresso J-Ultra.

“I have the 1Zpresso J-Ultra and Niche Zero. Love them both”

Bought a used Niche Zero and moved their DF64 to pour-over duty; they love the Niche for darker-roast espresso and milk drinks.

“Anyway, I love the NZ for darker roast espresso, incl milk drinks.”

Just bought a Niche Zero after researching many grinders; finds it very quiet, with very low retention and an easy workflow, and a top choice for medium to dark espresso.

“It's still one of the best conical burr grinders on the market, very quiet for a grinder, super low retention, and super easy work flow.”

Upgraded from a DF64 to the Niche Zero and noticed a big flavour difference with medium to medium-dark beans; prefers the texture and body and says it was worth it, though shipping to the US now carries a tariff fee.

“Recently upgraded from DF64 to Niche Zero and I’ve noticed a big difference in flavor with my medium to medium dark beans. I much prefer the texture and full body I get with the Niche”

Upgraded from a DF54 to the Niche Zero and gets much better espresso; the DF54 has been relegated.

“I did it and i get much better espresso from the niche. Still have the df54 but its definitely been relegated.”

Owns a Niche Zero: the best user experience of any grinder, but it makes too many fines and bitterness, and a flat burr grinder was a revelation.

“Niche Zero is probably the best UX of any grinder, but it is not a good grinder. I have one, and moving to a different flat burr grinder was a revelation.”

Loves their Niche Zero and can't see ever upgrading it.

“I love my Niche Zero. Can’t see myself ever upgrading it for any reason.”

Spent extra on a Niche Zero to pair with their Bambino and finds it amazing for medium to dark roasts and very easy to fine tune.

“spent the extra money on the Niche Zero grinder which is amazing for medium to dark roasts. Very easy to fine tune.”

Uses a Niche Zero with their Lelit Bianca V3 and gets great coffee every morning.

“My little coffee bar, i am using lelit bianca v3, niche zero, and xbloom studio. These machines give me a really great everyday morning coffee!”

Pairs a Niche Zero with a ZP6 and feels no need to upgrade.

“Keep the NZ and get a 1zpresso ZP6 and call it a day. This is my setup”

Recommends the Niche Zero for milk drinks as very forgiving and a workhorse.

“I'd thoroughly recommend the grinder for milk based drinks its very forgiving and a total workhorse.”

Bought a used Niche Zero to replace a DF54 and it's been a treat for espresso; only misses the DF54 for pour-over.

“I picked up my Niche Zero for like $900 on marketplace and it’s been a treat.”

Went from hand grinding to a CF64V they returned, then to a Niche Zero, which they call the safest bet for milk drinks.

“Talking from experience much like you from hand grinding to cf64v (returned within a couple of weeks) then a niche.”
