Can I use the Lagom Mini for espresso?

Modified on Thu, 19 Jan 2023 at 01:19 PM

Our initial recommendation against espresso was because of the long grinding time. But if that's not a concern, the Lagom Mini should handle espresso with no problem (in fact many of our customers started to use it for espresso and we're thinking of changing our recommendation). 


With 48 mm burrs on the LAGOM mini, grinding for a double espresso (18g dose) typically takes around 45-60s. Based on our further testing, the LAGOM mini will work well for home grinding duty (but is strictly not for commercial use). However, please refer and adhere to the duty cycle as recommended in User Guide page 5 (abbreviated version below) for getting the best out of your grinder. 


Duty cycle: <90s (1.5 min) grind time per cycle, with a minimum rest time of 90s (1.5 min) in between cycles, for no more than 4 shots within a 10 minute period. Rest for at least 30 minutes once total cumulated grinding time has exceeded 6 minutes.
