Introduction
This video compares two espresso grinders, the Niche Zero and the Eureka Atom 75, through a taste test and an examination of grind uniformity and speed. The presenters use Good Brother's Coffee's India Mysore Nuggets blend for the comparison.
Key Takeaways
Grind Uniformity: Both grinders produce very uniform grinds, minimizing channeling.
Grinding Speed: The Eureka Atom 75 is significantly faster than the Niche Zero.
Single Dosing: The Niche Zero excels at single dosing; the Atom 75 is less ideal for this method.
Ease of Adjustment: The Niche Zero is easier and faster to adjust grind settings than the Eureka Atom 75, due to the latter's stepless dial and higher grind retention.
Taste Comparison: The Atom 75 produced a smoother shot, while the Niche Zero's shot was slightly sour initially, requiring adjustment. Both were considered enjoyable, particularly in milk-based drinks.
Best Grinder for Home Use: The Niche Zero is recommended for home use due to ease of use and low retention.
Best Grinder for Commercial Use: The Atom 75 is better suited for commercial settings due to its significantly faster grinding speed.
