Machine Overview

The Option-O LAGOM Mini is priced at $374 and targets intermediate users, while the Turin SK40 is more budget-friendly at $199 and is designed for beginners. Both are semi-automatic grinders, with LAGOM Mini aimed at a slightly more skilled audience, reflecting its higher price point and potential learning curve for espresso preparation. The brands focus on quality and user experience, promoting their respective models for different types of coffee enthusiasts.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize conical burrs, but with different diameters; the LAGOM Mini features a 48mm burr while the SK40 has a smaller 40mm burr. Both grinders offer stepless adjustment, allowing for precise grind settings with a fine scale of 1 micron. They utilize single-dose hoppers, with the LAGOM Mini activating through a press button and the SK40 via an on/off toggle, accommodating various dosing preferences. Both grinders showcase low retention rates of less than 0.2 grams, ensuring minimal waste.

Features Comparison

The LAGOM Mini comes with swappable burrs, providing users the flexibility to customize their grinding experience, whereas the SK40 does not support this feature.

While the SK40 operates at a higher RPM of 400, the LAGOM Mini runs at 200 RPM, reflecting different approaches to grind speed and consistency.
