Niche is famously not a light roast grinder. I never had issues with stalling on mine but the burr design is aimed around medium/medium-dark roasts. Have a look at the burrs though, they might be worn which could cause issues? I think Niche do replacements

Never had an issue with motor stalling and I've use pretty light roast beans for espresso. Assuming you've recalibrated it? Does it work fine when grinding darker roasts?
Niche are pretty responsive so I would shoot them an email from a cursory glance on reddit theres a few folks who have had to replace the motor to solve similar issues.

Pics of the beans please - who roasted them and are they natural/washed?

Hi, Niche Zero user thoughts please!
Got one off ebay recently, been going well but got some properly light roasted beans recently and been having no end of trouble. Just dumping all the beans in tends to stall the motor. Slow feeding with the lid open and pressing the safety switch solves the stalling but even on ridiculously fine setting (6 dots) espresso just gushes through.... Not sure I dare going much finer!
Any suggestions or should I just accept that beans this light are only really suitable for high end grinders or pour over?
Thanks
