> As for coffee grinders, I've got a Eureka Mignon and machines like that are expected to last a few decades easily, with a little bit of maintenance. If you buy the $99 stuff, well... All the fawning over the Niche Zero grinder does my head it - its using a crappy brushed DC motor and a plastic gearbox more akin to the quality of a $100 sunbeam conical burr grinder I had. And like my Sunbeam grinder the gearbox will likely start to get very very noisy after 10 years of heavy use, not to mention needing new brushes at some stage which aren't user replaceable. But hey, one youtube guy said some good things about the Niche so it must be the best!
