Is the Niche Zero worth the money?
Yes, if you value single-dosing and zero retention. It's the best single-dose grinder under $600. If you keep beans in the hopper, consider cheaper alternatives like the DF64.
How does the Niche Zero compare to the DF64?
Niche Zero has conical burrs (classic espresso flavor), DF64 has flat burrs (more clarity). Both are excellent. Niche has better build quality and retention, DF64 is cheaper.
Is Niche Zero good for filter coffee?
Decent but not ideal. The 63mm conical burrs are optimized for espresso. For mainly filter coffee, consider the Niche Duo or a dedicated filter grinder.
