Machine Overview

Grinder 1, the Fellow Opus, is priced at $195 and is tailored for beginners. In contrast, Grinder 2, the Option-O LAGOM mini, is priced at $374, aimed at intermediate users. Both grinders fall into the semi-automatic category and differ significantly in their target consumer base.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, Grinder 1 utilizes a 40mm conical burr made of stainless steel with a stepped adjustment, allowing for a grind range from pour over to espresso at an adjustment scale of 5 microns. Grinder 2 features a larger 48mm non-coated conical burr with stepless adjustment, offering a more precise grind adjustment at a 1-micron scale, making it ideal for users seeking finer control. Both grinders utilize a single dose hopper, but Grinder 1 employs a timed auto stop for dosing, while Grinder 2 uses an on/off button.

Features Comparison

When considering features, Grinder 1 does not have adjustable RPMs but operates at a fixed 350 RPM, while Grinder 2 runs at 200 RPM with similarly non-adjustable settings. The grind range for both allows for versatility from pour over to espresso, enhancing their usability. Importantly, both grinders are equipped with swappable burrs, allowing users the flexibility to customize their grinding experience further.
