Option-O Lagom P80

Equipment notes

Option-O is a brand focused on single-dose electric grinders, and the Lagom P80 sits at the top of that line. It puts an 80 mm flat burr set and a variable-speed motor into a body sized for the home, aimed at people who want to push filter clarity as far as it goes. At over 8 kg it is a machine that stays where you put it. The burrs are Mizen 80OM, an 80 mm flat steel set with a pre-crushing (PCS) geometry that breaks beans before the final cut. Adjustment is stepless and the dial is finely graduated, so settings are easy to write down as numbers. Motor speed steps through seven values from 300 to 1700 rpm, and retention sits around 0.1 g, which suits switching beans often. The narrow particle spread and low fines of a large flat burr define the cup: acidity and aroma separate cleanly and body stays light. Lower speeds add a little sweetness and texture while higher speeds read brighter and cleaner, so light roasts are safer started at the slow end. It fits someone who runs a filter-only setup and puts the definition of a single cup first.
