Just give the coffee cup a sharp rap on the edge of your countertop. It'll all come out cleanly.adamweld wrote:Anyone have any tips on getting all of the coffee out of the dosing cup? I've been having a good amount cling to the sides and rim.

Has anyone replaced the wooden parts of their Niche Zero with stainless steel equivalents?
The entire color scheme of my coffee area is blacked and brushed steel and the wooden parts look out of place.
Any suggestions will be welcome!

For what it's worth Dave Corbey claims that you should not spritz water and that it will hurt this grinder.sweaner wrote:A quick RDT spritz of water will do the trick, and will not hurt the grinder from my experience.

Hey, whats up folks! I'm new to the forums and was drawn to this thread which then led me to the indiegogo campaign for this grinder, only to discover it takes about 2 months to receive! Is there any way to get the grinder sooner? I ask because I wanted to gift one to my father for Father's Day but I obviously won't make the cut by going through the campaign. Just curious if there's another way even paying up to $100 over retail to ensure I get one on time. Thanks guys!

Your only options are finding one for sale privately to have by Father's Day. Slow Pour sells them for about $70 more than Indiegogo and seems to have monthly batches. That would get you one much quicker but the May sale just happened last week.
RDT isn't good for the Niche. I was using frozen beans straight from the freezer. The little bit of condensation was enough to causing the grinds to clump in the bottom of the chamber and cake on the burr edges. Zero moisture added works best in my experience. Grinding into the dosing cup is key. Going straight to the PF sometimes works and is sometimes a mess.

Well it won't hurt it but it will reduce its ability to give minimum retention and exchange!Pogo007 wrote:For what it's worth Dave Corbey claims that you should not spritz water and that it will hurt this grinder.

Actually it will not work that way if there's lots of static or coffee grease residue.Haskens wrote:Just give the coffee cup a sharp rap on the edge of your countertop. It'll all come out cleanly.
It will eventually leave marks on the countertop and the grind cup though.

I don't freeze the beans, and living in the AZ desert's dry climate, I use a spritzer, one squirt, before closing the lid and grinding.spearfish25 wrote:...

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I didn't mean RDT on frozen beans. I was just using my frozen beans with some condensation as a similar situation to any beans sprayed with water. The Niche doesn't love the moisture from my personal experience.
