I took the hopper off my current grinder (a commercial Wega K10), and do individual dosing. This lets me store the beans in a valve bag, so they stay fresh longer. I'm probably going to pull the trigger on the niche zero in the next week or so. I currently weigh the beans in and the grinds out. I'm looking forward to skipping the "grinds out" step when I get the Niche.
