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.

Office Coffee Drama

I had always worked in government or NGO's so endless bureaucracy on things like coffee were to be expected. When my own office got big enough, I finally just brought in a little espresso machine: {image} (pic from seven years ago)

Have owned a La Pavoni Professional for over a year... need decent grinder.

At $200 or less, I would go with a hand grinder such as a 1ZPresso J-series or a Kingrinder
