Machine Overview

The Eureka Mignon Zero and Option-O LAGOM Mini are both semi-automatic espresso grinders aimed at intermediate skill levels. The Mignon Zero is priced at $499, whereas the LAGOM Mini is more budget-friendly at $374. This price difference places them at different entry points for consumers, particularly those with varying financial capabilities. Both brands, Eureka and Option-O, are known for their quality in the coffee equipment market.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the Mignon Zero utilizes flat burrs with a 55mm diameter, while the LAGOM Mini employs 48mm conical burrs. Both grinders feature stepless adjustment, allowing users to finely tune their grind settings to match various brewing methods from pour-over to espresso. They utilize a single dose hopper, which contributes to freshness by minimizing stale coffee in the grinder. The primary dosing method for both is via an on/off button, ensuring straightforward operation with minimal retention - less than 0.5g for the Mignon Zero and less than 0.2g for the LAGOM Mini, which supports cleaner dosing.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, the Mignon Zero has a grind range that encompasses the entire spectrum from pour-over to espresso and operates at 1650 RPM. Meanwhile, the LAGOM Mini offers a grind range similar to the Mignon Zero but operates at a higher RPM of 200. An important distinction is that the LAGOM Mini has swappable burrs, permitting users to easily customize their grind type by changing the burrs, while the Mignon Zero does not have this feature. Both grinders are designed for performance, with the Mignon focusing on speed and the LAGOM Mini emphasizing versatility with its burr system.
