beerandporkyeah the weight is the main disqualifier for the Casa for me. Mini2 is 1.5kg, Casa is 3.5kg. Also much larger volume.
Ok so I’ve had it for about a week now and this thing rules. Maybe not as much clarity and sweetness as I get from the P64, but it’s gonna be a perfect travel grinder. Thanks again!
bodosomI'm puzzled, it seems like you're concerned about the noise of the grinder disturbing your children but you haven't said anything about the noise from the espresso machine. In any case the Option-O Lagom Mini 2 is pretty quiet but is $300-tiny-burr slow. As an aside Seattle Coffee Gear sells the Silenzio 55 (new) for $449 and Whole Latte Love does price matching.
HollandJimI’m late to the party here but I love my Lagom Mini 2. Unless you’re doing volumes of coffee, it’s a really good grinder that straddles that gap, and it’s small and easily transportable.
MortalparadoxI suggest you look at an Option-O Lagom Mini or Casa. I have the Mini 2, can recommend.
Physical_Arm_662Lagom Casa because it’s excellent, has great build quality, and looks great too. It’s so good that I also got a Lagom Mini 2 for travel
basco15You may need to stretch your budget to get out of the DF options if you want electric. I'm incredibly satisfied with the Option-O Lagom Mini. Granted I am only pulling 2-ish shots per day.
billy_cPay $100 more and get the lagom mini. Leaps and bounds better than any fellow grinder.
Option O Lagom Mini. It’s better than any fellow grinder and more aesthetically pleasing.
carsncodeTake the Oxo, Breville, Ode, and Opus off your list. Consider adding the Lagom Mini. I have one that does espresso and filter like a champ and has without issue for a few years now. It's a little slow and limited duty cycle (I think 90s per 5m or something) but for home use it's great. There's a mini 2 now that I admittedly don't know much about.
