niche coffee duo
two burr sets, one grinder, near-zero retention
the niche duo runs two dedicated 83mm flat burr sets, one tuned for espresso and one for filter, in a single-dose aluminum body with real oak trim. retention is kept to an absolute minimum by the straight-through design. grind speed sits at around 1 gram per second, which is slower than you might expect from 83mm burrs. the stepless dial gives fine control, and the build quality is solid throughout. at around £660, it competes in a serious price bracket.
