Hario Mini Mill vs Niche Zero Grinder

If anything, I think the Major Dickason's doesn't taste as sweet as the Gaia pre-ground, but I cannot tell whether it's because of the difference between the coffees, or because the grinding makes the coffee worse. I bought a can of the Kirkland Decaf (48ozs at $13), and the big difference seems to be that the pre-ground stuff is much harder to push through the Aeropress than the self-grounded coffee. And honestly, if you took away the grinder and made me drink the kirkland decaf, except for the missing caffeine, I'm not sure I'd prefer the self-ground coffee. I'll keep the grinder, if only because a lot of variety of coffee beans don't come pre-ground, and I really don't feel like grinding it at the Costco grinders which don't ever seem to get cleaned

At the top of conical grinders is the Niche Zero which makes a great coffee with lots of food texture but still less clarity as it’s flat burr counterparts. Most expensive grinders can also be a lot quieter and faster than the Encore which may justify the cost alone. There’s a huge difference in taste between something like a Baratza Encore or Virtuoso and a Baratza Forte.

I recently went for the Hario Mini Mill Pro (slightly fancier, metal body, probably the same on the inside). After all the research I could muster I came to the conclusion that the Hario is the best I could get at this price point, and even Hoffman was quite pleased with his. Can't say if the Rhino is good or not, haven't stumbled across it in my research.

Niche Zero: I love it, its just outside my price range ($727 USD!!!). Any recommendations or personal experience with any grinders would be helpful.

* Clear acrylic (methyl methacrylate) bottom chamber allows checking the grounded coffee. * I like the handle hangs on the unit for storage. Cons: * Uneven grind for medium roasted beans (Full City). * Difficult (even impossible) to grind light roasted beans (American to City)

I use it primarily for grinding turkish coffee (1 click) and for pour-over drip grind for individual cups (9 clicks). I don't think there's as cheap a grinder that does turkish fine, so there's no real comparison there. For one or two tiny cups, it takes as much time to grind the beans as it does for the water to heat in the ibrik, For regular drip coffee, I do notice a difference in odor and flavor with the Hario compared to the whirly. My wife however can't tell the difference, so be warned: no everyone finds burr grinders worth the trouble

The flavor is full with the fruity and acidic notes from the coffee slightly more pronounced that you might be used to from a grinder that has a flat ...
