The Niche Duo Coffee Grinder is a premium single-dose coffee grinder designed for home baristas seeking professional-level performance across various brewing methods. Building upon the success of the Niche Zero, the Duo introduces a dual burr system, featuring two specialized 83mm flat burr sets—one optimized for espresso and the other for filter brewing. This innovative approach allows users to switch between brewing styles with ease, ensuring optimal grind quality for each method.
Equipped with a stepless adjustment dial, the Niche Duo offers infinite grind settings, providing precise control over grind size to suit individual preferences. Its powerful motor operates at approximately 530 RPM, delivering grind speeds of about 1 gram per second for espresso and up to 2 grams per second for filter coffee. The grinder's design emphasizes minimal retention, ensuring that each dose is fresh and consistent. Aesthetically, the Duo features a compact aluminum body accented with real oak, blending seamlessly into any kitchen or brew bar setup.
The espresso burrs are designed to produce fine, consistent grinds with a narrow particle distribution ideal for espresso preparation. These burrs emphasize body and balance in the cup, delivering the traditional richness and depth that espresso lovers expect. They're particularly well-suited for a variety of roast levels, offering excellent versatility across light to dark profiles.
In contrast, the filter burrs are optimized for coarser grind sizes, providing greater grind uniformity at larger particle ranges. This enhances clarity and flavor separation in brewing methods such as pour-over, French press, and batch brewers. With the filter burrs installed, the grinder accentuates the nuanced notes and brightness of specialty coffee, making it ideal for those who prioritize clean and expressive cups.
Together, the dual burr system allows users to switch between espresso and filter brewing styles with minimal compromise, unlocking the full potential of each coffee.
Maintenance of the Niche Duo is straightforward; regular cleaning involves brushing out the grind chamber and burrs, while deep cleaning can be performed periodically by disassembling the burrs using the provided tools. The grinder measures 135mm in width, 230mm in depth, and 355mm in height, weighing approximately 5kg. Its single-dose design accommodates up to 70 grams of coffee beans, making it suitable for both single and multiple servings.
