Introduction

This video compares two coffee grinders: the Comandante C40 and the Niche Zero. The speaker reviews their features, pricing, ease of use, and performance in producing espresso and pour-over coffee. The goal is to help viewers make an informed decision about which grinder to purchase.

Key Takeaways

• Price: The Comandante C40 is significantly less expensive than the Niche Zero.
• Grind Type: The Comandante C40 is a manual hand grinder, while the Niche Zero is a motorized grinder. The Niche Zero also has a stepless adjustment, offering more precise grind size control compared to the stepped adjustment of the Comandante C40 (though adding the red clicks to the Comandante C40 reduces the step size).
• Espresso Performance: The Niche Zero is faster and produces a superior espresso shot due to its motorized function and stepless grind adjustment.
• Pour-Over Performance: The Comandante C40 produces a cleaner pour-over cup due to fewer fines in the grind compared to the Niche Zero.
• Overall: Both grinders are excellent and suitable for both espresso and pour-over, but the Niche Zero excels in espresso, while the Comandante C40 shines in pour-over.
