I happened to notice that the plastic anti-static jar is now available to buy separately: http://www.oehandgrinders.com/OE-LIDO-A ... _p_56.html

And yes, all of the parts are interchangeable with the Lido 2 and vice versa.
Good stuff. I'm ready to add this to my travel kit whenever you are ready to release it. (If you don't already have your beta sites selected, I'm a willing volunteer. :wink: )

I would love to get a set of burrs whenever you feel like posting those for sale under accessories!

Anyone heard any updates from Doug and Barb on the latest Lido version?

The idea of substituting easier-to-turn burrs into the Lido2 sounds interesting. I wonder how much else will be interchangeable between the Lido2 and the Lido3. I think that I would change to the folding handle if that were possible. The Lido2 is nicely portable right now though - especially with the groovy carrying case :mrgreen:.

How does it compare to the Lido 2 for espresso. I'm upgrading my home machine, and sticking with the Pharos. The current home machine is moving to work and I'd like a travel sized grinder for work duty and to replace the Hario mini mill that lives in my travel kit.

Quite interested in this as well. Does anyone know how well the anti static jar works? Hoping it can remove the need for O rings as I sometimes experience slipping between the locking ring and grind adjustment ring. ALso hoping the handle is interchangeable between the Lido 2 and 3 as a folding handle will greatly help when travelling with a lido 2

The anti-static jar works very well. I was using an o-ring to reduce retention above the top of the glass jar, but this isn't necessary with the plastic jar. It is also less prone to binding to the lower adjustment ring when tightened.

I've been curious about the Lido 3, and I've put off purchasing the Lido 2 until there are some beta tests for the 3. However, I noticed something while doing some image searches of the Lido burrs. If you take a look at the Lido 2 and 3 burr shots Doug posted, and compare them to Baratza burrs, you will notice that the Lido 2 burr looks very similar to the old Virtuoso burr, and the Lido 3 burr looks very similar to the Preciso burr. Perhaps it would be reasonable to assume the Lido 2 performance would be more similar to the old Virtuoso, while the Lido 3 will be more similar to the Preciso. If you look up the grind distribution graphs by Baratza, they may be useful to speculate the differences between the two Lido models until someone can give us real life comparisons.
