Machine Overview

The Option-O Lagom P100 is priced at $2650 and is designed for advanced users, while the Timemore Sculptor 078s is more accessible at $699, catering to intermediate skill levels. Both grinders fall under the semi-automatic category and aim to appeal to coffee enthusiasts who wish to brew espresso at home. Their significant price difference suggests that the Lagom P100 might offer more advanced features or materials suited for serious espresso aficionados. In contrast, the Timemore Sculptor 078s, being more affordable, provides a balance of performance and price.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, both grinders utilize flat burrs, but the Lagom P100 features a larger burr diameter of 98mm compared to the 78mm diameter of the Timemore Sculptor 078s. Both models support stepless adjustment, allowing for precise grinding size adjustments in increments of 1 micron. The Lagom P100 has a single dosed hopper that can provide an auto-sensing shutoff function for dosing, whereas the Sculptor 078s also uses a single-dose hopper but relies on an on/off button for dosing. Both models exhibit low retention rates of less than 0.1 grams, supporting a more efficient coffee preparation process.

Features Comparison

When it comes to features, the Lagom P100 offers adjustable RPM settings ranging from 200 to 1700 RPM, providing greater flexibility for various grind profiles compared to the Sculptor 078s, which has an adjustable range between 800 and 1400 RPM. Both grinders cover a wide grind range from pour-over to Turkish for the Lagom P100 and from pour-over to espresso for the Sculptor 078s. A distinguishing point is that the Lagom P100 allows for swappable burrs, providing users with the option to change burr types for specific preferences, while the Timemore Sculptor 078s lacks this feature, emphasizing a fixed burr configuration.
