Hardly the first conical burr grinder. Niche Zero has been available for quite a while; https://www.nichecoffee.co.uk/products/niche-zero

Edit: Misread cylindrical as conical

They didn't claim to be first conical burr grinder. The claimed innovation is in the cylindrical design.
Their claim is something else, though: "The first cylindrical burr coffee grinder"
This is cylindrical, which the author purports to be different
Tangental: I have a 3 yr old Niche Zero, they are excellent - but they are not first conical. They used the burr from another famous grinder (I was more into all this shit but don't remember now)
They use Mazzer burrs, a classic!

Niche made the single dose grinder mainstream though and deserve a ton of credit for that
