NFC Disk 

@jimseven

Question Dave, where did you get it from? `:D and will Niche share with you once they're ready to start selling it?

Glad it was helpful!

Yep, that always annoys me too.

@@DaveCorbey Forgot to ask... It's possible to use existing screw to fix the disk?

@@misenko856 It uses the existing screw.

I also agree with you on this, the small amount of mess is annoying. Hopefully it'll be available soon.

I will..not sure the polycarbonate is a problem but I'll let him know. It might be tricky to stop a steel disk spinning loose though?

@@DaveCorbey Good thing is that it's transculent so you can still see the burrs and very light. You can have food grade polycarbonate so I can't see problem with this. Maybe they could offer both versions :)

There is no wobble in shaft, its just the mounting nut and burr holdown key thread not central in the shaft. Doesn't affect burrs, grind or anything else. I did a vid about it and have also explained in various comments before. The shaft itself and the burr on it is central and does not wobble.

I was trying to be inclusive when I used Disk.... :)

How about 'Disck'.

I tested the Eureka Atom Speciality 75e its not loud, runs at diff speed so sound is higher freq

A little longer sometimes but worth it.

@@DaveCorbey No doubt!

@@DaveCorbey Turned out the I had not tightened the screw down enough when first installed, so it has come loose so the disc spun around when grinding. It took 30 seconds to grind 40 grams of coffee for pour-over. I re-tightned it so it should work a lot better now ;) USER ERROR 😂😂😂

@@jacobpetersen5662 that's good because the times you gave seemed excessive

No, the beans might go thru the hole but they soon spread out as they grind. If you clean grinder every 2 months simply change disk position if you are worried.

I got mine 3-4 months ago and haven't had an issue with the grind setting slowly changing

@@sycoaniliz great to know

It's about controlling the flow "slowing it down", too many holes and it's not as effective.

It reduces it but it's not there to stop popcorning, it's there for flow control. By feeding the beans at a consistent rate, the particle size distribution is reduced and as a side benefit, motor and gearbox load are reduced.,

No it will be fine

Yes but all wear may be focused one one section of the cone so maybe not.

@@DaveCorbey Can you give more of an explanation as to why?

@@TehGookstuh The bean enters at the breaker zone, this starts to break it up. There's not a huge amount of wear that affects grind. As the bean starts to crush, it works around the burr as normal. As someone else said, in domestic use you will get 20 to 30 years out of the burrs based on 1/2 kilo a week consumption. Also when you clean the grinder every 2 or 3 months, it's unlikely the disk will go back in exactly the same place.

It'll only hit the pre breaker at the same position. By time the bean breaks up due to the spin, I doubt it would have any effect at all on different wear

They give an idea in update 74 www.indiegogo.com/projects/niche-zero-the-best-conical-burr-coffee-grinder#/updates/all

It's not about popcorning, that's why it's called a "flow control disk", check out the review. coffeeequipmentreviews.wordpress.com/2019/11/18/niche-flow-control-disk/

It's simply the hole /thread of the securing bolt for top burr is slightly off centre. The securing bolt simply holds down a cap and keyway securing the top burr. The burr and shaft are aligned and don't wobble. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wQ78jke6ABs.html

@@DaveCorbey Thank you, that's reassuring. I received mine 2 days ago and was slightly concerned, although it seems to produce an excellent grind.

I expect we will be seeing a lot more of devices like this for single dosing grinders in the future...Or at least something that regulates bean flow!

I wonder if it makes a difference in a hand grinder. I usually just grind the last beans slower.

Nope....

​@@DaveCorbey great! i just ordered NZG on indiegogo, will it come with NFC (shipment till Feb. 20)?

@@adeby I belive it will 😊

Instinctively my feeling is that reducing the maximum power the grinder takes to do it's job must always be a good thing. However the total "work" the grinder has to do is the same in both cases. So it probably makes little difference e.g. you can lift a heavy weight by hand or using a long lever the amount of "work" done is the same, the maximum effort is less. I hope that makes sense.

Oh dear!

Not worth it...cheaper to wait until they're ready.

@@sycoaniliz what is the best material for it to be printed with? Does it matter?

@@excellerateurbreath I used PETG, that or PLA should work well. It's low stress, has no heat contact, with minimal contact to the beans.

@@sycoaniliz as a 3d printing noob, does it require a specific infill or can i just go with the default infill on the lower end of the infill spectrum?

you can find a similar one on Thingiverse and 3D print it, inspired by the Eureka mini auger. Or you order the Eureka part, it's a direct fit.

Amit P link?
