Introduction

This video reviews three high-end single-dose espresso grinders: the DF64, Eureka Oro Mignon, and Niche Zero. The presenter compares their aesthetics, burr types, performance, pros, and cons to help viewers choose the best grinder for their needs and budget.

Key Takeaways

• Aesthetics: The DF64 offers a modern/contemporary style; the Eureka Oro Mignon blends modern and traditional aesthetics; the Niche Zero suits boho or contemporary spaces.
• Burr Types: DF64 and Eureka Oro Mignon use flat burrs (producing balanced espresso), while the Niche Zero uses conical burrs (highlighting acidity).
• DF64 Pros/Cons: Pros include ease of use, straightforward grind size adjustment, and a clear dosing cup. Cons include messy bellows, a high-pitched grinding noise, a slim hopper, and inconvenient button placement.
• Eureka Oro Mignon Pros/Cons: Pros include excellent espresso taste, a pleasing grinding sound, a wide hopper with bellows options, and a satisfying adjustment dial. Cons include a higher price point and a less clear-cut initial dial-in process. Clive Coffee offers dial-in services for purchase.
• Niche Zero Pros/Cons: Pros include a bright, acidic espresso profile, an infinite grind dial, a retractable cord, quiet operation, and cleanliness. Cons include availability only from the UK website (with high shipping costs from the US), lack of readily available attachments, and a less premium feel due to plastic and aluminum construction.
• Presenter's Choice: The presenter prefers the Eureka Oro Mignon due to its balance and aesthetic appeal, despite acknowledging the initial dial-in difficulty.
