Hello fellow coffee lovers,
I need some educated advice.
TL;DR - I’d like to know if anyone tried a Eureka Atom 75 / Olympus 75E Versus a Niche Zero -
Top priority - taste wise.
Second priority - retention wise.
Third priority - no comparison, just opinion of owners.
As far as I know the Olympus and Atom 75 would produce the same taste with less noise and retention from the Atom.
———————————————————————————
I have an HX E61 machine (Expobar Office Leva) and a Niche Zero.
However, I’m not happy with the taste I’m getting from my set.
I feel like I’m not getting enough sweetness and tastes brightness as I’d like.
For a long time I thought it’s something with the barista in me, the machine or the water. After improving my HX techniques of cooling the group head and controlling its temperature and changing my water treatment to Bestmax Premium.
Finally I took my Niche to a roaster I’m buying from and we used his machine and my grinder. And he noted it’s mostly the Conical burrs I’m not happy with.
I was looking for an affordable grinder with large flat burrs and not much retention.
I don’t mind 2 grams retention if the taste is worth it.
I can either purge 2 grams or use some hacks like the “Blow Up Hopper”
Finally, I’m not Australian, but I appreciate the Australian coffee industry and know that you guys know what you’re talking about 😂.
Thanks.
Jonathan
