Option-O Lagom 01 Discussion

The 98 Mizens are a beautiful burr. It looks like they want the 102s to be better; and that this requires more QC than they expected

Interesting grinder particle size analysis

The claim was always suspect. Lower RPM requires a finer grind setting, just like slow feeding beans.
