EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Option-O LAGOM mini is priced at $374 and is designed for intermediate users, making it suitable for those with some experience in espresso preparation. In contrast, the 58espresso SPTK-38G is more budget-friendly at $259, catering to beginners. Both grinders are classified as semi-automatic, targeting different skill levels within the espresso enthusiast community.

Brewing Comparison

When looking at grinding information, both grinders utilize conical burrs for a consistent grind, although they differ in burr size, with the LAGOM mini featuring a 48 mm burr diameter compared to the 38 mm of the SPTK-38G. The LAGOM mini allows for stepless adjustment with a finely-tuned scale of 1 micron, whereas the SPTK-38G utilizes a stepped adjustment of 25 microns. Both grinders come with a single-dose hopper type that enables users to grind on demand, enhancing freshness and reducing waste. The primary dosing method for both devices is an on/off button, promoting simplicity in operation.

Features Comparison

In terms of key features, the LAGOM mini does not have adjustable RPM but has a wider grind range that accommodates everything from pour-over to espresso. Meanwhile, the SPTK-38G operates at a higher RPM of 300, optimizing grind speed for performance. While the LAGOM mini offers swappable burrs for potential enhancements in grinding options, the SPTK-38G lacks this feature, implying a more straightforward approach to maintenance and usage.
