Baratza Vario Coffee Grinder vs Niche Zero Grinder

With oily beans, particularly, I must always take off the lid and push one or two beans with my finger. Another little thing is that the grounds hopper is highly prone to static cling. I have to smack it hard, repeatedly as I empty it into the press pot. But those are minuscule complaints compared to the glory of the coffee we can make with it

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 have been using the Vario for over a year, here are my observations: (+) There is negligible "holdup" in the burr chamber, if I put 18 g of beans in the hopper I get 18 g of ground coffee in the basket. Some grinders keep a significant quantity in the grinding chamber which mixes into successive grinds and, of course, becomes stale. (+/-) The grinder stops dead precisely at the preset grind time (to 0.1 s) allowing very reproducible dosing WITH DRY BEANS in the hopper

and I think the selection that they've chosen to fix or attempted to fix here, is a very smart selection. For Example,, this is not a grinder trying t...

Eventually I my tastes "matured" and I could taste subtle differences between coffees and methods of making them...so I took the next step and got a grinder

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 ...

The settings switches are a joke and very vague in the grind you get. Set at full espresso grind it easily clogs my Quickmill and my Solaris. I have to use a drip grind setting for espresso and it can not be adjusted in spite of the "adjustment tool". For the hefty price this is not grinder I would recommend to anyone

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