Option-O has already impressed us in the past with the larger and more expensive Lagom P64. Now the Lagom Casa with a conical 65mm burr set is on our test bench. The grinder costs around 680 euros, which we purchased ourselves like every test grinder.
The detailed test report will follow. Here you'll find the test data and test video.

Classification and Conclusion
When we consider the Lagom Casa in its market environment, it competes with machines like the Niche Zero. Compared to the Niche, the Casa appears more valuable and modern due to its lack of plastic. Against many other single dosing grinders, it scores with a significantly more thoughtful workflow and the absence of an annoying bellows.
In the past, you had to spend well over 1000 euros to get a grinder with this manufacturing quality and such low retention. Option-O has put together a package that is particularly interesting for coffee nerds seeking precision without wanting to spend 1500 euros on a P64. It's a clear recommendation for anyone who celebrates single dosing and has the necessary 40 seconds per shot. However, those looking for a grinder for commercial use or who need to pull five espressos in a row for the family in the morning won't be happy with the Casa – it's simply too slow for that.
