Beautiful! Do you make a lot of coffee? It definitely can get through a lot. I have a niche zero. 20s or so to grind a shot but there is no wastage. Ideal for a home setup making 2 a day.

This is paired with a Breville Barista Express. Unlike most espresso people I am not tempted to upgrade this because I am so used to the workflow and it is quite good for a consumer grade machine (except for its grinder). With the niche I can make something 90% of the fidelity of a good cafe.



On weekdays it’s just 2 coffees a day. On weekends it’s probably 6, but various people show up and are supplied their fix, and 10 or 12 is common.

The niche is interesting, and a far saner choice. My ‘70s orange isn’t for everyone, it’s like a traffic cone.


The Niche Zero and the Mazzer Robur have the exact same conical burrs. The Niche is just a bit smaller and meant for home use.


close, but not quite - Niche is using the burrs out of the Mazzer Kony, the Robur's slightly smaller sibling. 63mm for the Niche/Kony vs either 71mm or 83mm depending on which Robur model.
