Machine Overview

The Niche Duo, priced at $700, is marketed towards advanced users, while the Option-O Lagom P64 is considerably more expensive at $1585, also targeting advanced skill levels. Both grinders fall under the semi-automatic category and are manufactured by reputable brands, with Niche being known for its elegant design and efficient performance, and Option-O for its high-end technical specifications.

Brewing Comparison

Both grinders utilize flat burrs for grinding, with the Niche Duo featuring 83mm hardened steel burrs and the Lagom P64 utilizing 64mm SSP Red Speed Coated burrs. Both models offer stepless adjustment for fine-tuning grind size, supporting precision in espresso preparation. Each grinder has a single-dose hopper type, but the Niche employs an on/off toggle for dosing, while the Lagom uses an on/off button, allowing for easy measurement and minimal retention, with both exhibiting retention of less than 0.1g.

Features Comparison

Key features include the Niche Duo with a fixed RPM of 530, which supports a grind range specifically for espresso, and swappable burrs for customization. In comparison, the Lagom P64 boasts an adjustable RPM ranging from 300 to 1400, accommodating a broader grind range from pour-over to espresso, and also features swappable burrs. This flexibility in RPM adjustment allows users of the Lagom P64 to experiment with various grind sizes and methods more extensively than the fixed RPM of the Niche Duo.
