Definitely not all there is to it. There are people who are in to swapping burrs on a grinder to experiment with different flavor profiles, or to make espresso vs filter coffee. Some grinders even cater to us, such as the Niche Duo: https://www.nichecoffee.co.uk/products/niche-duo?variant=43187239813251 https://www.nichecoffee.co.uk/products/niche-duo?variant=431...
Also, some people who like more traditional, chocolaty espressos prefer grinders/burrs that produce more varied particle size. People who like cleaner, "modern" espresso prefer grinders that produce the more similar particle sizes.
It's a rabbit hole.
- quaddo 3y agoRandom: is the Niche Duo made by a US company? Asking, as I noticed the power switch on the side: the "|" symbol was at the top, which doesn't jive with the UK's "up is off, down is on" typical switch.
- pivo 3y agoInteresting, that never occurred to me. Niche are a UK company, the grinders are designed in the UK, but as I understand, made in China.
