Good effort getting a niche second hand. How much did you pay? They’re £800 now?! Didn’t they used to be £500?
Nef-
Annoyingly, from a buyers perspective, they seem to hold their value well due to all the hype. I paid £350, they are still £500. At the time, there was a two week wait for a new one, it seem to be down to one week now.
There’s a new flat burr grinder from niche coming out that’s £800
I was sceptical about the zero retention claims but so far mine has been putting out exactly what I put in.

Rip the arse out that Cubika until it’s close to melting.
This was my set up until a few months ago https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/333124/#comment14708081
£150 total spend and it made perfectly good drinks. The gaggia eventually packed it in to the point it wasn’t economical to repair. I’d taken it apart and brought it back from the dead a couple times before but the boiler eventually gave up. I then bought another forum bargain, but it shat it’s self after a few months.
Spent about 6 weeks reading up on dual boiler machines and the Elizabeth seemed like the best option if I didn’t want to fuck about modifying a single boiler machine. The niche zero was second hand. I was sceptical but it really is as good as the internet hype claims.
