Machine Overview

The Turin SD40 V2 and Option-O LAGOM Mini are both semi-automatic espresso grinders targeted at different skill levels. The Turin SD40 V2 is designed for beginners and is priced at an MSRP of $369, with a current vendor price of $199. In contrast, the LAGOM Mini caters to intermediate users and has an MSRP of $374, with vendor prices starting at $374 and reaching $485. These price differences reflect the skill levels each grinder is aimed at.

Brewing Comparison

Both grinders utilize conical burrs for grinding, with the Turin SD40 V2 featuring a 40mm steel burr, while the LAGOM Mini boasts a larger 48mm non-coated "Moonshine Burr." The adjustment mechanism varies between the two, with the Turin using a stepped adjustment scale of 10 microns and the LAGOM offering stepless adjustment, allowing for 1-micron precision. Both grinders employ a single dose hopper type for enhanced freshness and reduced waste. The primary dosing for the Turin is on/off toggle, while the LAGOM Mini uses a press button for dosing.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, the Turin SD40 V2 does not have swappable burrs, while the LAGOM Mini does, providing users with the option to upgrade or customize their grinding experience. Adjustable RPM is not a feature in either grinder, with both operating at fixed RPMs of 400 for the Turin and 200 for the LAGOM Mini. Both grinders are designed for a full range from pour over to espresso, but the LAGOM Mini is notably faster, achieving an espresso grind speed of 60 grams per 18 seconds compared to the Turin's 24 grams.
