1Zpresso K-Ultra Manual Coffee Grinder vs Niche Zero

The manual grinder that handles espresso and filter without compromise

Scores higher on value for money.

Single-dosing a different coffee every day and switching between espresso and filter in seconds

Scores higher on grind consistency, build quality & durability, grind range & adjustment.

• +Over 100 clicks at 20 microns each, the finest adjustment of any hand grinder here
• +The full range in one smooth rotation of an external dial, so you are not counting past the coarse settings to reach espresso
• +Aluminium body at 680g, with a carrying case, foldable handle and magnetic catch cup included
• +One-year warranty, stated by 1Zpresso

• −$259 against a $169 median, and twice the Kingrinder K6 which also runs a stepped click adjustment
• −No scale and no timer, as with every hand grinder
• −1Zpresso does not publish the burr diameter

• +Zero retention, by the maker's description, so the coffee you weigh in is the coffee you get out.
• +63 mm conical burrs with an infinite stepless dial that moves between espresso and filter in seconds.
• +Dose consistency the maker puts at less than plus or minus 0.2 g.
• +72 dB while grinding, with an aluminium body and real oak trim.
• +Compact at 122 mm wide.

• −Priced in pounds from the UK, so the cost in other countries depends on conversion, shipping and import charges.
• −No hopper to speak of: every dose is weighed and added by hand, which is the point but not for everyone.
• −311 mm tall, rising to 435 mm with the lid up, so check the space under wall cabinets.
• −Niche does not publish burr material, motor power or warranty on the product page.
