Step-by-step guides

What the manual does not say

2 jobs with nothing stated
  • Seal / gasket replacement
  • Hopper clean
Notes from the research
  • Niche's two first-party sources disagree on the deep-clean interval: manual 3-6 months, 2025 care article 2-3 months (monthly for heavy users). Both are recorded.
  • Burr life is a floor ('in excess of 750kg'), not a replacement recommendation.
  • No seal or gasket replacement guidance, and no interval for washing the grind cup.
