- We test the Niche Zero Grinder, which looks to be a great solution for espresso and filter coffee for home users with a reasonable budget. We also talk to long term Niche Zero user, Hugh Mullally to get his views on the strengths and weaknesses of this grinder after owning it for more than a year.
UK supply is sorted now. Just purchased one, they were in stock and delivery was 5 days from ordering on the website. A great improvement over my Rancilio Rocky that I have been using for the past 11 years.
Cool! Glad you like it. It's certainly worth the money IMO.

No problem with dial creeping. Set mine from 38 to 40 for drip. 10 to 16 for espresso. Had mine for over 1 year and make 3 to 4 epresso drinks per day. Very happy with it. Would like to compare with a flat burr grinder like the DF64P.
Thanks - that's interesting. Compared to the EK there's a bit less clarity, but not tried the DF64P to compare.
Looks like a great grinder … good review
Thanks 👍
I’m pretty impressed with the static control in your grind/beans. Mine tends to get super staticky and drives me nuts when I forget to add a couple drops of water. Do you have any recommendations on dial settings for the common brewing methods? French press, aeropress, v60? Also, how often do you clean the grinder?
Hi, Some people get obsessive about cleaning grinders, but IME it's something to do periodically rather than once a week. Regarding grind settings, I've always preferred to go quite fine - so for Aeropress a few steps back from the range for espresso and for pourovers a little coarser still. Without having the Niche in front of me I can't recall exact settings, but as an example, on my EK I go for 1.2 - 2.0 for espresso, 2.0 - 2.5 for Aeropress and 2.5 - 3.5 for pourover. Hope that helps.
Bit pricey but looks like a good choice
I think it's worth the money.
