Best praise vs top criticism for Niche Zero
“If it were my money, i would want a single dose grinder with flat burrs, because i like lighter roasts. I would probably go with profitec go and a DF64 or mahlkonig x64 depending on your local prices. if you like darker roasts, i love my niche zero for that.”
“I used to own a Niche Zero, and while it was great for traditional full-bodied espresso, I wouldn't recommend it for pour over. Ode Gen 2 has a great reputation, but it may not meet your "something quieter" criteria. You might want to consider a hand grinder - nothing will be quieter.”
