I guess there is a shim kit you can purchase for it, but to me it should work properly. Especially for the money. I will have to check out the Niche Zero. Where did you buy it?


I have a Rocket Appartamento machine which has been awesome. I love my morning espresso's.
So for the Sette the shims came with the grinder. I noticed pretty quickly that the grind was way too coarse even at the finest settings so I added two shims right away and that fixed it great. I didn't notice the grind adjustment slipping at all (but there is a fair amount of vibration ).

I purchased the Niche from indiegogo.com since that was the only place they sold it. They do sell through their website now although they apparently sell out within hours. https://www.nichecoffee.co.uk/

It is an awesome little grinder but for the price point and how difficult it is to actually purchase, I would actually recommend the Eureka Mignon Specialita https://idrinkcoffee.com/products/eu...8aAh-8EALw_wcB. Much better build quality than the Sette and has large 55mm flat burrs.
