Option- O Lagom 01 Unboxing and First Impressions

[@constantinedinocopses6806]

Thank you so much for posting that. I just ordered a black 01 and I am so looking forward to it, especially after seeing your video. I, too, chose the blind 102mm burrs.

[@FerchoVallese]

Let us know how it goes when you get it! Would love to hear your experience with it!

[@BensCoffeeRants]

Nice, thanks for sharing, that thing is HUGE. Glad you're liking it so far. That knocker seems nice and silent /smooth. Portafilter stand and accessories are a nice smart design.

[@fillflashdetailer8838]

Yes, it's just far too bulky and awkward looking to ever go on my countertop.

[@teslatalk42069]

The option-O crushes the key

[@alramzi74]

Keep going more tests

[@galagaev]

Could you review your entire coffee setup including little things? Accessories and maybe some of custom ones. Lovely video

[@FerchoVallese]

Done a few weeks ago! Sorry for the late reply!

[@ZeroNine2ee]

I will get it soon too. Thank you for the good video. I think the sound would be reduced if there was a cover on the top.

[@FerchoVallese]

Got a wood cover made from a guy on Etsy. Will receive it in about 10 days and post if the noise is reduced.

[@ZeroNine2ee]

@@FerchoVallese It can't be found on etsy. Can you tell me what product it is?

Looks good. I saw an EG-1 in person and was a little shocked at how large it was...then i heard the 01 is even larger on counter 😟 Had an MC4 which had nice slim form factor and workflow. I really want to buy into the 01 experience, but boy oh boy that thing is CHONKY...

[@conoryoutubing]

Even larger on the counter? Where did you hear that? It's almost 4 inches (96mm) shorter, 2.95 inches (75mm) thinner and only 0.8 inches (30mm) deeper. Might even be shallower as the Weber measurements only account for the base depth, not how far back the top goes. From the pictures that I've seen, it reasonably fits under counter top cabinets. Its a big one, that's for sure... not quite EG1 Chonky territory though. 😃

[@00Dawggg]

@@conoryoutubing yeah I received my 01 2 weeks ago. It’s not even close when it comes to counter space and overhead real estate the EG-1 takes up.

[@conoryoutubing]

@@00Dawggg - Nice, congrats. How's it been treating you?

[@puddingstar2340]

Waiting for more Coffee Contents 🎉

[@00Dawggg]

Is that a knock box under your key? And killer setup! I have both the Lagom 01 & Key, only difference is I have the Sanremo You

[@FerchoVallese]

Thank you! Yes, knockbox drawer from Lelit. Very useful.

[@riopacheco01]

how have you found the retention on this grinder? i’m looking for a true zero retention grinder ideally with no RDT, would you say it can do that?

[@FerchoVallese]

Zero retention, no need for RDT. It has an ion generator so static is eliminated.

[@ZacharyPinder]

Love the setup! I also have the Decent and the P64, couldn’t be happier :) Where did you get those portafilter handles for the Decent by the way? Love the look of them

[@FerchoVallese]

Both Pesado. Check here for all the info: facebook.com/groups/decentespresso/permalink/2278625375654674/?mibextid=K8Wfd2 (let me know if it doesn’t display properly)

[@tullynation]

I absolutely love the workflow and build quality of this grinder but wonder if it would be madness to get it for someone who favors medium and sometimes dark roasts and favors body and sweetness over clarity and acidity. I know large flat burrs are “supposed” to be used for the latter… but I really like this grinder design. And your shot had nice viscosity and crema… thoughts?

[@FerchoVallese]

Bodywise it’s been great. Better body than the key while keeping high clarity. Haven’t tried with dark roasts so can’t comment there, but medium and light roasts work great. Very happy so far.

[@joshjanes1]

Thanks - much appreciated.@@FerchoVallese

[@fillflashdetailer8838]

Still looks top-heavy and out of balance, but overall, much better aesthetics that the P100. I highly doubt 99.9% of people could tell any difference between the output of this grinder relative to the p64, but if you have money to burn, why not?

[@TeerapatJaiprasat]

Hi , Can you please let me know the taste in the cup of Atom75 vs The Key grinder vs The Lagom P01?

[@FerchoVallese]

Will do a full test today and come back to you

[@TeerapatJaiprasat]

Thank you

[@FerchoVallese]

Hi! So did some tests and have the following observations. 1) 01 is easier to dial than both the key and atom 2) workflow is nicer than key and atom. 3) Taste: high clarity without losing body. 4) had to run some beans a bit hotter than usual to get the same flavour I was used to. Need more tests. 5) I like the cup workflow more than the portafiler + dosing funnel. Although it’s very nice they included both options. 6) retention is basically non existent. Atom had tons of retentions unless you do a lot of modifications to make it a proper single dose grinder. Key is also nice workflow and no retention but the “funnel” is small and you have to be careful when dropping beans. 7) all in all I prefer the taste of 01. Can’t give a final review as I have only tested with espresso, not pour over or another method.

[@joshjanes1]

What's the typical humidity range where you are? @@FerchoVallese

[@FerchoVallese]

@@joshjanes1quite high: average 71% during the year. Sitting at almost 90% in the past few days

[@majs2009]

How is the taste in filter coffee with the 102? Also, any stalling issues?

[@FerchoVallese]

Very clear taste, amazing separation of notes. At the same time, any defect in roast or bean quality will show. No stalling at all. Motor seems plenty strong.

[@user-sb7qr4ht7u]

Is this the standard box it come in or did you buy a heavy duty box?

[@FerchoVallese]

That's the standard box. Very well packed and reusable for transportation.

[@Syd7088]

That looks awesome 😮 do you do pour over as well? If yes, how do you like it?

[@FerchoVallese]

Did a few V60 and Moccamaster brews with it. Amazing clarity, would say even better than the Key. Very easy to dial and the grind distribution is really tight.

[@chrisg1631]

is it able to grind fine enough for slayer style shots with light roasts? and do you think this style of shot works well with the grinder?

[@FerchoVallese]

Yes, great shots using the decent and slayer style profiles. I'm particularly enjoying the advanced lever profile lately with the 01.

[@chrisg1631]

how does the shot thickness and clarity compare to the key grinder?

[@FerchoVallese]

Better in both aspects! Easier to dial in too (with the key I had to break in with about 5kg before I got good and consistent shots).

[@_Brewn]

The Motor ist soo loud! Wow

[@FerchoVallese]

It's louder than the key and atom, which I find one of the quietest grinders I've tried. However, I don't think is too bad (shouldn't wake a kid sleeping in another room).

[@jeffm6789]

@@FerchoValleseIs it louder on the video than in person?

[@FerchoVallese]

@@jeffm6789 yes, it’s louder in the video. Also, the noise goes way down when placing a plate on top. I think I’ll design a 3D printable lid to dampen the sound. Wrote early today to a guy on Etsy making custom wood lids for option-o grinders. He said he’s getting the measurements from option-o and will soon have a lid available for the 01.

[@jeffm6789]

⁠@@FerchoValleseGood to know, thanks. My silver 01 arrives early November. Thanks for the great video ☕️☕️☕️

[@mgbaron]

I just got mine. Also surprised by how loud it was, though it’s not an issue for me.

[@jeweet889856943]

What a beautiful machined piece of art! Even more impressed by how clean your decent is, mine looks like a battlezone half the time haha.

[@FerchoVallese]

Thank you very much!
