Shouldn't this thread start with "OT"?

I think the "hype" would probably be that at the time, it was "the little engine that could" w.r.t. single dose, low retention grinders. Up until then, to get what the Niche promised, you were looking at a weber/Monolith beast at 3-4x the cost. Hence my purchase. I can highly recommend. The construction is not p64 level, but it's certainly not cheap by any means. I've been super pleased. It's conical, so that may sway you depending on what you like to drink. I prefer flat for pour over coffees, but for the espresso I drink, the conical burrs are just the thing. Last edited by crankles; 11-23-2022 at 07:20 PM. |

I’ve only used sub $150 grinders. Do any of these other grinders deal w static any better?

Have an encore grinder and it works well except for static retension which creates a mess when pulling out the drawer. Hard to believe that this design flaw hasn't been addressed, shouldn't be hard to do.

Huh?? Are you new? Definitely not off-topic!
Pretty sure I have never started a ride without coffee first....never. Quote:

Not really, I still have static with my p64 although its greatly reduced if I RDT.

I have a Baratza virtuoso, older model. Works great for everything from French press to espresso. I like Baratza because you can replace pretty much all the parts. Which I have done.

Oh dang, that Niche thing is wild. We have a loud AF Cuisinart which... get the job done. Realistically looking at probably the Fellow grinder as it's more in our budget, but a friend has a Rancilio Rocky Coffee Grinder which is very, very nice.

Is this a starter grinder?
The Baratza Encore is often pointed to as a first grinder for around $140. Good, solid piece with replacable parts. Of course, you can always spend more..... |

Immersion makes really good coffee too, 1-2 mins brew, drain. and brewers are inexpensive. Examples are Hario Switch and the Clever brewers.

i have the same one, def on the budget end but has been grinding every am for over two years. no “static” prob with the plastic hopper, maybe bc i grind a bit coarser for a french press, idk.

The static issue is at least in part the coarseness and roast being used but also (maybe mostly) the roast. Darker the roast the more oil, the less static IME
Using a Baratza Encore and rare that I have much of an issue with static. |

When I had a hopper and the Eureka there was not really any static, now with single dose there is a bit but with RDT is not notable.

Just watched a video on the Hario......looks like a similar brew/extraction method as you'd get with an Aeropress, which also makes great coffee....
