Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Bentwood Vertical 63, is an advanced-level espresso grinder with a price tag of $2,695. In contrast, Grinder 2, the Option-O LAGOM mini, is targeted towards intermediate users and is significantly more affordable at $374. Both grinders are classified as semi-automatic, appealing to different segments of coffee enthusiasts. The price difference showcases the advanced features and materials used in Grinder 1 compared to Grinder 2.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, Grinder 1 utilizes a flat burr with a 63mm diameter and features a hopper type that allows timed dosing. It offers a stepless adjustment mechanism, facilitating precise grind settings within a full range suitable for both pour-over and espresso. Grinder 2, on the other hand, employs a 48mm conical burr, also with a stepless adjustment feature, and uses a single-dose hopper. Its primary dosing method is an on/off button, which provides simplicity for users focusing on espresso brewing.

Features Comparison

Key features show distinct differences between the two grinders. Grinder 1 has a grind range that caters from pour-over to espresso, but lacks adjustable RPM settings and swappable burrs. Conversely, Grinder 2 also covers a similar grind range and includes swappable burrs, which allow for customization based on user preference. While neither grinder offers adjustable RPM, the inclusion of a magnetic dose cup in Grinder 2 enhances its usability.
