Niche Zero

The single-dose grinder that started it all. Zero retention, quiet operation, and a grind quality that punches well above its price point.

The Niche Zero needs little introduction. Launched via Kickstarter in 2018, it single-handedly created the home single-dose grinder category.

What works

  • True zero retention
  • Quiet 50dB operation
  • 63mm conical burrs for espresso and filter
  • Compact footprint

What doesn’t

  • Stepless adjustment can be fiddly
  • Plastic catch cup
  • Long wait times ordering direct

The verdict.

The Niche Zero remains the benchmark for home single-dose grinders.
