What use is a timer? I weigh beans before and after grinding but time and weigh shots.
My compak has no hopper because I single dose.
As such those are irrelevant features to me.

On my doserless K6 I use a little scoop to limit retention, not ideal but might tide you over until you find the grinder of your dreams. I had it cut out of stainless steel when I ordered some parts for my father’s 2CV restauration, but I’m sure something similar made of acrylic would be fine too. I grind until all of the beans have gone through, then scoop out the grinds in the chute then spin it up again to get everything into the chute and then scoop scrap the last bits out. I don’t have exact figures as measuring again after grinding is too much of a ballache for me, but I’m fairly confident it’s under 1 gram.
If the Niche wasn’t so ugly I’d almost consider it, but I wouldn’t hear the end of it if that thing found its way into our house.

Well I’ve had a Mazzer Mini for 10 years which I’ve owned from new, so I know the importance of a good grinder thanks. I just question £800 for a domestic only unit with no hopper, no dosing timer, nothing.
Also it looks like something you’d
