I'm receiving my Niche Zero next week and I'm just absorbing anything I hadn't already seen since it was released a couple years ago haha. No one seems to have mentioned the issue with making sure you properly align the NFC disk so thank you very much for that

One tip on the calibration, since is a half yearly thing estimated, open up do a full clean up. Then calibrate it. . U don’t need to worry if turning to the calibration dot have any coffee grinds or beans damaging the zero coz there is nothing inside for sure after cleaning . Jus set direct to the mark and line up the dot and move back.

Tip #6. If you are moving the NZ across the counter, lift it slightly because sliding it could cause it to topple over and break the on/off switch. I learned this tip myself this week and now await a new PCB from England. Not expensive, though.

Thanks for the tips about Niche Zero. Since I just bought this one for myself with a new espresso machine, it is very helpful!

Great video. Just got my niche and I’m wasting some beans to test my grind results before the morning. Videos like these have been helpful.

Very useful tips. Thank you. I saw other video someone used a bellow to pump out the grounds.

Good tips,thank you! For static with my Niche,I just use the wdt tool in the grind cup before I put in brew basket. No static cling,no possible water damage to burrs.

I use a really small cortado cup as my RDT cup. As far as the Niche goes, I've had my Zero for about 6 months now and still love this grinder as much as the day I got it. The workflow is just so damn clean and the espresso AND pour over that makes are both fantastic. It's the internet love child for a reason lol.

The tip about the disk has really helped. Recently cleaned my machine and thought something is wrong but attributed it to me fiddling with it and it being psychological.

Thanks for the tips! RDT within the dosing cup really reduced sticking coffee to the walls.

Glad I got most of the tips checked. Tip 3 & 4 is new for me! I'm wondering how often I should be cleaning my grinder since I spritz my beans too..

Great tips. I've had my niche for a bit and still learned new things. I had heard from Niche that they don't recommend the RDT so I hadn't been doing that. Not sure why they wouldn't recommend.

After owning the Niche for 2 years...

Good advice about running the grinder every 10 steps or so when going from coarser to finer (clockwise as you look down at it). Do not do this as you approach close to the calibrate mark though. You sure as shootin' do not want to run the grinder if the burrs are touching! The tip I will be trying tomorrow morning is stirring the grounds with a WDT in the dosing cup before transferring to the porta-filter. Thanks for that one.

Thank you so much for the tips. Completely forgot that maybe my issue was just a simple fix.

Super helpful thanks

I really like the grinder also, and deal with all the ideas in this video. It is really nice for making 1-2 cups a day. Before the first grind of the day I tap it to release any old grinds, and then grind about half a dozen beans which I discard. I do not spritz. Never get any grounds mess with my workflow.

No need to tap the discharge chute. Just lift the lid about 3/4 of the way and let it fall and all the retained static drops out. After grinding give the dosing cup a firm tap on the counter and the static on the sides drops off. Weigh your dose and add 2 or 3 beans to allow for retention. I don't find any need to spritz the beans unless losing 3 beans worries you.

I hardly ever have issues with ground coffee left in the dosing cup after I started using the shake and twist method. (Tap on the bottom of the cup; shake the portafilter and cup side to side for a few seconds, tap the bottom again and then twist the cup as you lift it off the portafilter).

For the dosing cup, I like holding and spinning it like a cement truck, for getting most of the stuck grinds.
