EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Option-O Lagom P100, priced at $2650, is designed for advanced users seeking high-quality espresso grinding, while the Rancilio Rocky, available for $440, caters to beginners looking for a more accessible entry-level grinder. Both grinders are categorized as semi-automatics, but the price and skill level differentiate their target audiences significantly.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize flat burrs; however, their specifications differ. The Lagom P100 features a larger 98mm burr diameter made from coated steel and employs a stepless adjustment method that allows precise grind control at a scale of 1 micron. In contrast, the Rancilio Rocky has a smaller 50mm burr diameter with thermosteel treated steel and uses a stepped adjustment method with an adjustment scale of 10+ microns. The Lagom P100 utilizes a single dose hopper with auto-sensing shutoff for dosing, while the Rocky employs a lever dispenser from a larger hopper, allowing for quicker access to ground coffee.

Features Comparison

Key features also set these grinders apart. The Option-O Lagom P100 provides adjustable RPM functionality, with a grind range that spans from pour-over to Turkish coffee. It also supports swappable burrs for diverse grinding preferences. On the other hand, the Rancilio Rocky has a fixed RPM, with a more limited grind range focused on espresso, and does not support swappable burrs, placing it firmly as a straightforward option for espresso grinding without the need for customization.
