The LAGOM mini is priced at $374, while the Sculptor 078s has a higher MSRP of $699, reflecting its premium features. Both brands have established reputations for quality coffee equipment.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the LAGOM mini utilizes conical burrs with a diameter of 48mm, while the Sculptor 078s features 78mm flat burrs made of hardened steel. Both grinders have stepless adjustment, allowing for precise grind size settings, and they employ single-dose hoppers for minimal waste. The LAGOM mini has a retention of less than 0.2g, whereas the Sculptor 078s boasts an even lower retention of less than 0.1g, providing users with highly efficient dosing.

Features Comparison

Key features of the grinders include the adjustable RPM of the Sculptor 078s, ranging from 800 to 1400 RPM, which allows for customization based on user preference. Both grinders support a grinding range suitable for various brewing methods, from pour-over to espresso. However, while the LAGOM mini has swappable burrs for versatility, the Sculptor 078s does not offer this feature, potentially limiting future upgrades.
