Niche Coffee Reviews 

I’ve been using the Niche Zero for four years, and it’s been nothing short of excellent. The grind quality is consistently top-notch, with very low retention and easy adjustments between brew methods.

Its design is clean and elegant, and the build quality is outstanding—solid materials that still look and feel like new even after daily use. It’s clear this grinder is built to last.

If you’re looking for a reliable, beautiful, and high-performing grinder, the Niche Zero is absolutely worth it.

Great products with wonderful esthetic and great buil quality.

My favourite grinder! i will use no other brand.

I have had my Niche Zero for 4yrs now and up to now it has worked flawlessly. I cannot imagine why I will ever change it.
I recently had a problem where the grinding would stop after a couple of secs. My experience with Niche support has been excellent. Even better the required parts were not expensive.

Again. I see no reason to change from Niche. 😀

Purchased my Niche coffee grinder back in November 2020 and in the 4.5 years I've been using it have experienced Zero issues. Pun intended.

Workflow is fantastic for single dosing, coffee retention is minimal and the conical burrs provide consistent and precise grinding.

The design of the Niche Zero is both functional and visually appealing, and its compact size make it a perfect fit for any kitchen counter or workspace.

Sure there are better, more expensive grinders out there, but the Niche Zero is perfect my needs and I can't see myself "upgrading" any time soon.

Highly recommended!

I bought this grinder a few months back now and it's has been put through its paces, and let me tell you, it's a amazing single dose grinder. I have used it for esspresso and filter. It's easy to dial in and find the right grind size, it's is very intuitive to use.

Purchased my Niche Zero in 2020 and four years later it is performing just as great as the day I got it. It is used for espresso every day and the occasional pour over/cold brew. Admittedly I clean it far less than I should so I notice it loses 1-2g without proper maintenance. I measure before and after so this isn't an issue for me. Truly all I could ask for in a grinder.

I bought my Niche Zero almost 5 years ago and it's had pretty much daily use since then. I love the machine, it looks amazing, nice and quiet and a nice consistent grind.

Just encountered my first issue with the motor and I’m happy to report the support was second to none. I’m well out of my warranty period, but James was happy to help troubleshoot and advise. A new motor is on its way out to me, which I’m sure will fix the issue. Top marks 😊

I have had the Niche for about 4 years, no problems.One morning it just stopped working. Got a hold of James at Niche and he got back to me and asked a few questions and said that I needed a new PCB and motor. Everything was shipped quickly and the Niche is now working like new.
Thanks James.

I have had my Niche Zero for nearly 5 years now, my wife and me use it several time every day (or very nearly so).

This is a great grinder, we love it, not too noisy, and it looks very good in our kitchen.

Had a small issue last week, immediately sent a message to support which were very helpful into pinpointing the issue and providing me with a cheap and fast solution.

I didn't expect a service this good to be honest, especially after 5 years... I'm quite impressed, and this will definitely push me towards getting the Niche Duo at some point in the future.

Thanks to the team!

After a lot of back and fros between coffee grinder reviews I finally settled on the Niche Zero. It is wonderful, it is quiet, grinds really well over a big range of grinds (I mainly drink Espresso and French press) and it looks very nice on the worktop without taking up lots of space. Altogether a delight.

I bought the niche zero along with a la marzocco micra in white about two years ago. It's been a great experience. No flaws, problems or quirks whatsoever. I'd recommend this true classic to anyone who is into making the best tasting coffee.

The grinder itself is perfect for me, quality is top notch and also the grind quality is perfect!

Also the customer service is great, not much waiting times for a response, and a special thanks to James for answering all my questions!

Niche Zero is a very well made product and really it performs in the way that it is promised! Druring my one wekk experience it showed retention within the limit of 0.1 g which is impressive!

Have both the NICHE ZERO and DUO and love them! I grind at extremes... extremely fine for espresso and coarse for my French Press and the DUO covers the range with elan!
Only an old fellow could misplace a bolt in a moment...in the right hand then never to be seen again! Just an email across the ocean and I was back in business. Delivered promptly and I'm back in business with the best coffee (FRENCH ROAST...very oily...from OHORIS in Santa Fe, N.M.) on the block!
Thanks 🙏 Jim and Thanks 🙏 NICHE!

3 years with a zero has been great, sturdy, quite and quick

Awesome machine! Great workflow and very good performance at an affordable price.

Had the Niche Zero grinder for a few years now. It has worked flawlessly all of that time. Highly recommend!

It works. It works and works and works and works. You need to fine tune your grind? Twist it a few dots. You want to switch to a cold brew from espresso? Turn it a couple rotations and try. You want Turkish. Might as well crank it all the way back down and make that too

This machine packs value. Is it a bummer to fork out however much in your currency? Yes. Is it going to elevate your coffee game? 1000% it will. Pair this with anything and your taste buds will praise you. The only down side? I lost the nut driver so the bolt came loose once. I had to 3d print a device to fix it. Oh, and it DOES build static when it's dry, but if you read the instructions it does say not to dampen the beans. Full disclosure, I spritz my beans every single dose, no static. (20% humidity in my house, very dry, still no static once spritzed)

I bought my Niche Zero several years ago and have been using it paired with a Gaggia Pro or a simple dripper. The Niche handles both espresso and filter coffee well with the simple turn of a dial. And with very little waste/loss even between grind settings.
Truly an innovation when it was launched there have been many imitators since but none of them look as nice as the Niche. The workflow is a simple single dose in and grind into the cup.
Cleaning is fairly simple when you get to it but not often needed as what you put in comes out. Adjustment and reassembly is incredibly easy.
There are better more specialist grinders out there and cheaper ones too. But the versatility of the Niche Zero sets it apart. The espresso may not be as nice as a flat burr grinder but it is not as expensive as those and it can grind filter. The filter brews may not be as full rounded as some grinders but they cost more and can't get anywhere near espresso. And the cheaper grinders will do the job but maybe not as easily or nicely.
