Machine Overview

The Weber Workshops EG-1 is a high-end espresso grinder priced at $3,895, catering to advanced users, while the Option-O LAGOM mini is more budget-friendly at $374, aimed at intermediate skill levels. Both grinders fall under the semi-automatic category and are designed for dedicated espresso preparation. This stark difference in pricing reflects the differences in features and intended user expertise.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the EG-1 employs a flat burr mechanism with an 80mm diameter, while the LAGOM mini utilizes a conical burr at 48mm. The Weber grinder offers a stepped adjustment scale with a fine-tuning capability of 5 microns, allowing for precise grind settings. Conversely, the LAGOM mini features stepless adjustment with a 1 micron scale and uses a single-dose hopper for both, providing users with the flexibility to dial in their desired grind size efficiently.

Features Comparison

Key features of the EG-1 include adjustable RPM ranging from 500 to 1500, a grind range suitable for everything from pour-over to espresso, and swappable burrs for versatility. On the other hand, the LAGOM mini’s fixed RPM at 200 might limit the user experience compared to the adjustable option of the EG-1, but it still supports a similar grind range and also features swappable burrs. Each grinder brings unique advantages that align with their target user base and functionality.
