I have to give another shout out for hand grinders when assessing new espresso setups. The difference between cheap ones and decent ones is huge. Eg, between my Hario slim and my 1Zpresso.
I totally understand the appeal of a Niche but the bang for buck versus a good espresso hand grinder with 48mm burrs just isn’t there for me.
Obviously I’m biased but the 1Zpresso JX Pro is a third of the price of a Niche and the results for me have been absolutely fantastic. 30-40 seconds depending on the coffee to grind 17g. Unbeatable value for money IMO. There’s literally no reason it won’t keep working forever, either.
