Option-O Lagom 01 Discussion
I have found that the supplied grind cup has been most useful to grind for pourover and my Moccamaster due to it's large capacity. However, it is hit or miss when inverting directly into the portafilter. No matter how much I tap or swirl the cup, the grounds invariably get loaded up on one side of the basket and

Office Coffee Drama
