Lagom 01

Lagom 01 for light roasts. The only conical GBW grinder I know of is the Mazzer Kony Sg but I don’t have any experience with it.

If you are happy with the Niche for pour over then KY Max with SLM burrs should satisfy you. Also the 102HU burrs have a good reputation for both on the Lagom 01.

Best for light roasts imo is option o 01

Ah ok so far grinders I own are zp6, m01, 078, niche zero and df83 ssp mp burrs. So far my preferences are high clarity with a slight bit of roundness so that the cup maintains a sense of harmony. I didn't really like the ultra clear separated presentation I got with ssp mp burrs as it had a clinical quality and flavors weren't well integrated. So far I like the cups I get from m01 the most. So much so that I'm looking to sell all my grinders aside from the m01. And redo my electric grinder collection towards endgame. My palate is ok but I know people that have more detailed palates than me. But they've had some experience judging coffee competitions. I like to drink pretty much every sort of coffee from ultra light to dark. Coferments to washed. In terms of water I currently use lotus drops and use an approximation of feran's water recipe. I also use a zero water filter to make my distilled water. At this point I'm not hardcore enough to use a different water recipe for every different kind of coffee. And I prefer the convenience of ready made coffee water solutions as opposed to buying source minerals myself. I might delve deeper into that area later. I own a de1 for espresso, milk drinks and soup shots. I would say espresso is 25% of my coffee consumption and 75% is pour over/French press, aeropress type brewers. I actually quite like how forgiving the niche zero is but I find that the flavor clarity is lacking. So I think lagom 01 with ssp hu 102 mm red speed blind burrs would be an endgame for this style? I'm a part of a coffee share group where I will often only be able to get a single dose of a particular coffee. Some of these coffees are quite rare and can be expensive. So I'm looking for something ideal for this use case. Aside from that particular lagom 01 config I'm not really sure what other pour over/ soup shot focused grinder would complement it.

Haha, I appreciate the check in. I’ve noticed light espresso can be polarizing! I’ve been blessed to have a coffee shop with a EK43 and a Lagom 01, so I have been able to experience some really crazy espresso, even from beans thst really should not have a shot pulled from them. You’re spot on though, light espresso is a whole other ball park. A shot of good Kenyan can taste like juice!
