A quick blurb
The Niche Zero’s patented design gives you increased levels of control over the quantity, quality and freshness of your grind - making it easier for you to accurately manage the variables and confidently brew like a barista.
You're right, I shouldn't have used the term 'idiotic' although I will highlight I did say 'in my opinion'.
I'm clearly a lot less of a 'coffee enthusiast' than the type of person who is buying this grinder.
My main point is how much of a difference is there for your everyday coffee drinker between a K-mart grind and a $1600 grind? Probably not huge unless you are a true caffeine-phile.
Surely the bigger impacts on taste are coffee quality / freshness > machine > grind.
I guess it's like any hobby, there's always something better / more expensive to spend your money on, I'm a triathlete so I know very well!
