Introduction

This video compares two 63mm conical burr coffee grinders: the Niche Zero and the Nanonado Olentia (Orientia). The host, Hoon, discusses pricing, features, workflow, and conducts taste tests using different coffee beans to determine the performance of each grinder for various brewing methods.

Key Takeaways

• Price Comparison: Both grinders are similarly priced around $700 after Hoon negotiated a lower price for the Olentia.
• Olentia Features: The Olentia features a quieter DC motor with RPM control, a safety switch, and a plasma generator for anti-static grinding, eliminating the need for frequent RDT (Distribution Technique).
• Niche Zero Features: The Niche Zero is simpler, with a straightforward on/off switch, and does not have the anti-static features of the Olentia, requiring RDT.
• Taste Test Results: Hoon's preference leaned towards the Olentia, particularly for its cleaner, sweeter taste profile with the coffees tested, although he acknowledges the Olentia wasn't fully seasoned during the test. He notes the Niche excels with darker roasts.
• Workflow: Both grinders offer relatively easy workflows.
