Overview
The Niche Duo is the highly anticipated flat burr follow-up to the legendary Niche Zero. Featuring massive 83mm flat burrs in a remarkably compact chassis, the Duo delivers the clarity, sweetness, and complexity that flat burr enthusiasts desire. The dual-function design handles both espresso and filter brewing with a simple switch mechanism, eliminating the need for two grinders. Retention is impressively low at around 0.3g, maintaining the single-dose philosophy that made the Zero famous. The Duo represents Niche continued mission to make high-quality grinding accessible to home baristas, now with the flat burr flavor profile that many advanced users prefer. A strong contender for the best all-around home grinder available.
The Niche Duo features a 83mm flat burr set, crafted from steel. The burrs spin at 1200 RPM, offering fast grinding for high-volume use. Grind retention is approximately 0.3g — virtually zero retention, making it excellent for single dosing.
At $999, the Niche Duo is aimed at dedicated prosumers who demand top-tier grind consistency. Key workflow features include single-dose design (no hopper needed) and stepless grind adjustment for infinite precision. The flat burr design produces a more uniform particle distribution, prized for clarity and sweetness in the cup.
The Niche Duo is weighing 10.5 kg, manufactured in United Kingdom, powered by a 350W motor. Its footprint measures 130 x 220 x 360 mm (W×D×H).
