0 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.025 There is definitely a difference 1 00:00:01.025 --> 00:00:03.475 (bleep) feels a little more flavorful 2 00:00:03.475 --> 00:00:05.325 The acidity comes off quite lively 3 00:00:05.325 --> 00:00:07.775 AHNSTAR 4 00:00:07.775 --> 00:00:08.825 Hello everyone 5 00:00:08.825 --> 00:00:11.325 Today I will be reviewing a grinder 6 00:00:11.325 --> 00:00:13.125 And that will be 7 00:00:13.125 --> 00:00:15.575 LAGOM 01 grinder 8 00:00:15.575 --> 00:00:17.975 The LAGOM 01 grinder is the most recent 9 00:00:17.975 --> 00:00:19.626 high end grinder 10 00:00:19.626 --> 00:00:22.076 It is not officially launched in Korea 11 00:00:22.076 --> 00:00:23.626 So not many has this at the moment 12 00:00:23.626 --> 00:00:25.426 To review them as quickly as possible, 13 00:00:25.426 --> 00:00:27.976 I bought it in China and brought it to Korea 14 00:00:27.976 --> 00:00:30.076 I probably may be the first to review this 15 00:00:30.076 --> 00:00:32.826 If you add up all the prices of everything to get it here, 16 00:00:32.826 --> 00:00:34.376 It's about 4 million won 17 00:00:34.376 --> 00:00:35.576 I used this for about two months 18 00:00:35.576 --> 00:00:39.076 So today we are going to start with the pros and cons of the LAGOM 01 grinder 19 00:00:39.076 --> 00:00:42.026 and what I thought about it from my experience 20 00:00:42.026 --> 00:00:44.526 Exterior and functionality 21 00:00:44.526 --> 00:00:46.576 The reason this is the highest-end model of LAGOM 22 00:00:46.576 --> 00:00:47.826 is the most recent grinder 23 00:00:47.826 --> 00:00:50.076 and can use a 102mm burr 24 00:00:50.076 --> 00:00:51.876 The EK43 uses the 98mm burrs 25 00:00:51.876 --> 00:00:54.026 You can say that LAGOM is bigger than the EK43 burr 26 00:00:54.026 --> 00:00:56.327 For colors, you can choose between the two 27 00:00:56.327 --> 00:00:57.627 There's black or silver 28 00:00:57.627 --> 00:00:59.327 And we chose silver 29 00:00:59.327 --> 00:01:02.277 There were no awkward finishes and the overall quality was high 30 00:01:02.277 --> 00:01:05.377 And with the overall design; this is the characteristics of LAGOM 31 00:01:05.377 --> 00:01:09.377 From the hopper on top to the dosing cup, to the dial on the bottom, 32 00:01:09.377 --> 00:01:12.477 Nothing is in angles, it is all designed in curves 33 00:01:12.477 --> 00:01:16.177 (Artistic Curved Design) So at a glance, it looked nice and soft like 34 00:01:16.177 --> 00:01:17.927 a pretty decorative piece 35 00:01:17.927 --> 00:01:19.427 By looking at the exterior 36 00:01:19.427 --> 00:01:21.727 If I think about where I get the idea why this looks 37 00:01:21.727 --> 00:01:24.227 nice and luxurious 38 00:01:24.227 --> 00:01:25.927 It's actually quite similar to a MacBook 39 00:01:25.927 --> 00:01:29.727 Just like the color, it is said that they used technology similar to that of the MacBook for their finish 40 00:01:29.727 --> 00:01:33.528 If you put an EK next to it, it is about the same size as an EK minus the hopper 41 00:01:33.528 --> 00:01:34.678 And when you place an order, 42 00:01:34.678 --> 00:01:38.528 it comes with a dosing cup, portafilter holder, and a dosing ring 43 00:01:38.528 --> 00:01:40.428 The finish of the products that come as standard 44 00:01:40.428 --> 00:01:42.178 was also exceptionally excellent 45 00:01:42.178 --> 00:01:43.178 When it comes to the dosing cup, 46 00:01:43.178 --> 00:01:44.728 there is a magnet at the bottom 47 00:01:44.728 --> 00:01:46.378 The magnet is really strong 48 00:01:46.378 --> 00:01:47.228 Auto centering 49 00:01:47.228 --> 00:01:51.528 You do not have to check the location of the doser chamber 50 00:01:51.528 --> 00:01:53.178 And don't need to place the dosing cup every time 51 00:01:53.178 --> 00:01:54.928 The magnet is pretty strong 52 00:01:54.928 --> 00:01:57.978 that it doesn't fall off even if I move the grinder around 53 00:01:57.978 --> 00:01:59.178 That's how strong the magnet is 54 00:01:59.178 --> 00:02:01.428 So during the grinding with the dosing cup 55 00:02:01.428 --> 00:02:02.728 the height is adjusted to guide 56 00:02:02.728 --> 00:02:04.428 the grounds to fall right into the dosing cup 57 00:02:04.428 --> 00:02:05.578 so it don't scatter everywhere 58 00:02:05.578 --> 00:02:06.778 So when you're using a Portafilter 59 00:02:06.778 --> 00:02:09.228 You can use this portafilter holder 60 00:02:09.228 --> 00:02:10.879 It's also a magnet 61 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:13.279 so you do not need to position it yourself 62 00:02:13.279 --> 00:02:14.879 The magnet is very precisely in position 63 00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:18.079 So if I place the portafilter here right away 64 00:02:18.079 --> 00:02:20.579 this is perfectly centered from the start 65 00:02:20.579 --> 00:02:23.129 You can mounted the dosing ring on the portafilter 66 00:02:23.129 --> 00:02:24.429 My impression is that it looks 67 00:02:24.429 --> 00:02:27.729 very convenient, sleek, and handy 68 00:02:27.729 --> 00:02:29.229 And for the grind size 69 00:02:29.229 --> 00:02:31.879 You can adjust it up here at the hopper area 70 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.579 The bigger the number shown up front 71 00:02:34.579 --> 00:02:35.979 the coarser the grind gets 72 00:02:35.979 --> 00:02:38.029 And the smaller the number gets 73 00:02:38.029 --> 00:02:40.179 the finer the grind gets 74 00:02:40.179 --> 00:02:43.729 (Adjusting grind size by 0.1 units) And there are around 10 levels between each number 75 00:02:43.729 --> 00:02:46.929 So that you can be more precise with your grind size 76 00:02:46.929 --> 00:02:48.980 And LAGOM 01 is a stepless grinder 77 00:02:48.980 --> 00:02:50.980 when it comes to how it adjusts the grind size 78 00:02:50.980 --> 00:02:54.780 To the right is a dial that adjusts the grinder RPM 79 00:02:54.780 --> 00:02:55.830 What is grinder RPM? 80 00:02:55.830 --> 00:02:58.280 It stands for the revolution per minute, so the speed of the burrs 81 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.930 This will change the particle distribution in the grinder 82 00:03:00.930 --> 00:03:02.130 Which will impact the taste of the coffee 83 00:03:02.130 --> 00:03:04.680 You can adjust between 1 to 9 84 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:09.630 [Adjustable range for RPM] And you have your option from 200RPM to 1700RPM 85 00:03:09.630 --> 00:03:10.830 And to my knowledge 86 00:03:10.830 --> 00:03:14.230 There is no grinder that uses the 98mm and 102mm burrs interchangeably 87 00:03:14.230 --> 00:03:17.180 And also has an RPM adjustment feature 88 00:03:17.180 --> 00:03:19.080 Let me know in the comments if you know one that does both 89 00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.130 And to the left is the power button 90 00:03:21.130 --> 00:03:23.580 There are two power buttons; the upper one 91 00:03:23.580 --> 00:03:27.431 makes a clicking noise to automatically turn on and off 92 00:03:27.431 --> 00:03:28.581 This auto-button feature is 93 00:03:28.581 --> 00:03:31.631 what differentiates this grinder from 94 00:03:31.631 --> 00:03:32.881 other high-end grinders 95 00:03:32.881 --> 00:03:35.131 Once you press this, after grinding 96 00:03:35.131 --> 00:03:38.131 right before it turns off, it sets the RPM to the max 97 00:03:38.131 --> 00:03:40.231 The reason to this max RPM is 98 00:03:40.231 --> 00:03:42.081 to let as much leftover bean in the chamber 99 00:03:42.081 --> 00:03:43.681 out of the chamber 100 00:03:43.681 --> 00:03:45.931 This function was very convenient to use 101 00:03:45.931 --> 00:03:48.431 as it's possible to do other things while grinding 102 00:03:48.431 --> 00:03:50.531 And the bottom button is a manual button 103 00:03:50.531 --> 00:03:52.531 which means it stays on as long as I press it 104 00:03:52.531 --> 00:03:54.681 and turns off when pressed again 105 00:03:54.681 --> 00:03:57.481 You can still use the automatic function while using the manual button 106 00:03:57.481 --> 00:03:58.881 Push the manual button 107 00:03:58.881 --> 00:04:01.731 after grinding is done, push the auto button 108 00:04:01.731 --> 00:04:03.532 Then the RPM goes up to the highest 109 00:04:03.532 --> 00:04:05.282 and knock out the remaining contents inside 110 00:04:05.282 --> 00:04:07.082 But then, when I tried this function 111 00:04:07.082 --> 00:04:08.632 Sometimes the auto button didn’t work 112 00:04:08.632 --> 00:04:11.632 it should automatically turn off after quickly increasing the RPM at the end, 113 00:04:11.632 --> 00:04:12.782 but there are times when it doesn't 114 00:04:12.782 --> 00:04:16.882 (Calibration is necessary for smooth operation) It turns out that calibration is needed due to the sensitivity of the sensor 115 00:04:16.882 --> 00:04:19.832 Calibration must be done on a level surface 116 00:04:19.832 --> 00:04:21.632 to use the automatic feature properly 117 00:04:21.632 --> 00:04:23.932 And there's this round dial here at the front 118 00:04:23.932 --> 00:04:26.382 This is called a ‘knocker’ 119 00:04:26.382 --> 00:04:27.982 After grinding, you push this down 120 00:04:27.982 --> 00:04:31.232 then it can dislodge the coffee grounds 121 00:04:31.232 --> 00:04:32.982 left in the doser chamber 122 00:04:32.982 --> 00:04:35.832 So I’ve looked over the exterior and the functions 123 00:04:35.832 --> 00:04:38.282 But now while using the LAGOM 01 model 124 00:04:38.282 --> 00:04:41.233 and also making extractions to compare with the EK, 125 00:04:41.233 --> 00:04:42.783 I will provide some additional explanations 126 00:04:42.783 --> 00:04:44.433 Extraction Test 127 00:04:44.433 --> 00:04:47.733 First, I will let you hear the noise when it's turned on 128 00:04:47.733 --> 00:04:51.733 LAGOM 01 Power-on Noise 129 00:04:51.733 --> 00:04:56.183 EK43 Power-on Noise 130 00:04:56.183 --> 00:04:58.333 I think the decibel level is similar 131 00:04:58.333 --> 00:04:59.933 but the pitch of the sound is different 132 00:04:59.933 --> 00:05:02.883 [Noise tone] The EK has a lower pitch, and the LAGOM has a higher pitch 133 00:05:02.883 --> 00:05:06.883 [Extraction Formula] Dosing 20g of beans, extract 40g for 23 seconds 134 00:05:06.883 --> 00:05:08.633 I will be using a single-origin beans 135 00:05:08.633 --> 00:05:11.883 which is the Costa Rica Villa Sarchi beans from FELT Coffee 136 00:05:11.883 --> 00:05:13.333 They’re yellow-honey type 137 00:05:13.333 --> 00:05:16.133 I will proceed with the dosing in as identical a routine as possible 138 00:05:16.133 --> 00:05:19.034 You can think of it as a comparison of subtle difference 139 00:05:19.034 --> 00:05:21.384 In the case of LAGOM, it's possible to adjust the RPM 140 00:05:21.384 --> 00:05:22.634 so I've matched it with the EK 141 00:05:22.634 --> 00:05:27.284 [RPM Setting] EK 1450 / LAGOM 7.5 142 00:05:27.284 --> 00:05:30.034 I will test with the RPMs matched as closely as possible 143 00:05:30.034 --> 00:05:32.134 Grinding extraction with EK 144 00:05:32.134 --> 00:05:34.584 Will do a single dose of 20g 145 00:05:37.684 --> 00:05:40.934 [Grind setting] 0.8 for both 146 00:05:40.934 --> 00:05:43.884 We have calibrated and matched the numbers after finding the zero point 147 00:05:43.884 --> 00:05:45.034 The numbers are similar 148 00:05:45.034 --> 00:05:46.984 I’m using the dosing ring and a distribution tool as well 149 00:05:46.984 --> 00:05:49.284 Time to extract 150 00:05:52.584 --> 00:05:54.484 (Extraction time) About 26 seconds, (Extraction amount) 40g 151 00:05:54.484 --> 00:05:55.935 Grinding with LAGOM 01 152 00:06:04.285 --> 00:06:05.385 Using the distribution tool 153 00:06:14.185 --> 00:06:16.285 Almost identical, about 27 seconds 154 00:06:16.285 --> 00:06:18.885 LAGOM 01/ EK43 155 00:06:18.885 --> 00:06:21.585 The extraction patterns are quite similar 156 00:06:21.585 --> 00:06:24.685 Tasting the EK extraction 157 00:06:24.685 --> 00:06:29.935 Tasting the LAGOM 01 extraction 158 00:06:29.935 --> 00:06:32.836 [Tone Comparison] EK has a slightly better sweetness and is closer to an orange tone 159 00:06:32.836 --> 00:06:34.836 LAGOM has a bit more distinct character 160 00:06:34.836 --> 00:06:36.586 Expresses a tone similar to grapefruit 161 00:06:36.586 --> 00:06:38.336 I'll also measure the TDS in a bit 162 00:06:38.336 --> 00:06:40.536 [TDS Comparison] EK 9.26 / LAGOM 10.19 163 00:06:40.536 --> 00:06:42.336 LAGOM's a little higher 164 00:06:42.336 --> 00:06:44.886 So, I tested the espresso 165 00:06:44.886 --> 00:06:47.586 Let's see how much difference in nuances the two grinders have in cupping 166 00:06:47.586 --> 00:06:48.836 And we'll see if the flavor we tested in the espressos 167 00:06:48.836 --> 00:06:51.086 be similar in the cupping too 168 00:06:51.086 --> 00:06:52.686 Cupping 169 00:06:52.686 --> 00:06:54.136 We prepared for cupping 170 00:06:54.136 --> 00:06:55.286 For accurate testing 171 00:06:55.286 --> 00:06:58.186 We used the Unspecialty Grinding Guide for calibration 172 00:06:58.186 --> 00:06:59.936 Set to 850μ 173 00:06:59.936 --> 00:07:02.036 Since I set it up to 850 microns 174 00:07:02.036 --> 00:07:07.186 [Calibration Grind Size] EK 10 / LAGOM 4.8 175 00:07:07.186 --> 00:07:09.987 Cupping the LAGOM 01 176 00:07:09.987 --> 00:07:12.287 Cupping the EK43 177 00:07:12.287 --> 00:07:13.337 There's a clear difference 178 00:07:13.337 --> 00:07:15.487 It's the same as I felt with espresso 179 00:07:15.487 --> 00:07:17.937 LAGOM feels like it has a more distinct flavor 180 00:07:17.937 --> 00:07:19.787 The acidity comes off more lively 181 00:07:19.787 --> 00:07:21.937 To put it the other way around, 182 00:07:21.937 --> 00:07:24.987 It might become a coffee that's too focused on acidity 183 00:07:24.987 --> 00:07:27.087 In the case of EK, 184 00:07:27.087 --> 00:07:29.187 There are more sweetness-centered flavors compared to LAGOM 185 00:07:29.187 --> 00:07:32.587 However, its acidity doesn't come of lively and fresh 186 00:07:32.587 --> 00:07:33.837 When considering character 187 00:07:33.837 --> 00:07:37.287 Should I say that LAGOM clearly expresses fruit and flower notes? 188 00:07:37.287 --> 00:07:40.087 EK expresses it with a slightly toned down manner 189 00:07:40.087 --> 00:07:42.837 What's interesting is that the nuances felt in espresso 190 00:07:42.837 --> 00:07:45.037 Seem to be felt exactly the same in cupping 191 00:07:45.037 --> 00:07:48.688 (EK43 / LAGOM 01) The difference in taste due to the design of the burrs 192 00:07:48.688 --> 00:07:50.288 This is the burr of the LAGOM grinder 193 00:07:50.288 --> 00:07:52.938 We chose a 102mm proprietary manufactured burr 194 00:07:52.938 --> 00:07:54.388 So it's much larger than the EK grinder 195 00:07:54.388 --> 00:07:56.788 But not only is this grinder burr large 196 00:07:56.788 --> 00:07:58.088 but as you can see, it has no screw threads 197 00:07:58.088 --> 00:07:59.788 Having screw threads mean 198 00:07:59.788 --> 00:08:03.188 that the ratio of crushing surface to cutting surface is somewhat less 199 00:08:03.188 --> 00:08:06.738 [LAGOM grinder burr] So compare to EK since there are no screw threads on the burr, 200 00:08:06.738 --> 00:08:09.038 There is a larger crushing area and cutting area 201 00:08:09.038 --> 00:08:13.088 Therefore, the results from the grinder are bound to be different 202 00:08:13.088 --> 00:08:15.738 To further explain about the crushing and the cutting area, 203 00:08:15.738 --> 00:08:17.838 The crushing area is where the coffee beans are first entered into the grinder, 204 00:08:17.838 --> 00:08:20.338 and it primarily serves to break the beans 205 00:08:20.338 --> 00:08:24.639 And the cutting area determines the final size of the coffee beans 206 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.289 which is the outer edges of the burrs 207 00:08:26.289 --> 00:08:30.189 Regardless of the ratio of crushing area to cutting area between EK and LAGOM 208 00:08:30.189 --> 00:08:33.089 due to the effect of the screw threads, the burr of the LAGOM grinder 209 00:08:33.089 --> 00:08:34.989 compared to the burr of the EK grinder, 210 00:08:34.989 --> 00:08:38.439 can have a higher proportion of crushing and cutting areas 211 00:08:38.439 --> 00:08:41.889 That's why when we look at the final size of the ground coffee 212 00:08:41.889 --> 00:08:43.239 they are bound to be different 213 00:08:43.239 --> 00:08:45.789 We grounded it after we calibrated it to the same mid-900 microns 214 00:08:45.789 --> 00:08:49.289 as per the Unspecialty grinding guide 215 00:08:49.289 --> 00:08:50.739 But looking at the grounded coffee 216 00:08:50.739 --> 00:08:52.589 I could see that the grind was different even with the naked eye 217 00:08:52.589 --> 00:08:55.489 EK - Coarse particles / LAGOM - Fine particles 218 00:08:55.489 --> 00:08:57.739 So when we looked at the grind size distribution, 219 00:08:57.739 --> 00:09:01.139 EK fines 319.86㎛ / LAGOM fines 285.80㎛ LAGOM has less coffee fines than EK 220 00:09:01.139 --> 00:09:04.440 (EK Particles / LAGOM Particles) You might wonder how they could have the same micron size 221 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.440 even though the particle sizes are different 222 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:10.440 Let's assume there are two people, A and B, 223 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.290 When they both have 10,000 won each, 224 00:09:12.290 --> 00:09:14.440 The average amount they have will be 10,000 won 225 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:16.590 But if A has 2,000 won 226 00:09:16.590 --> 00:09:18.440 and B has 18,000 won 227 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:21.440 the average amount of money they have will also be 10,000 won 228 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:24.790 Even if the EK particle size is the same mid-900 μ 229 00:09:24.790 --> 00:09:27.240 it will have fine grinds and relatively coarse grinds as well 230 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.490 And if a mixture of that makes 950μ 231 00:09:29.490 --> 00:09:32.540 (Smaller particle size range) In the case of LAGOM, the grind size distribution is narrower 232 00:09:32.540 --> 00:09:35.490 (uniformly close to 950μ particle size) It produces more grinds that are closer to 950μ 233 00:09:35.490 --> 00:09:36.990 That's why when we look at the graph 234 00:09:36.990 --> 00:09:40.091 The LAGOM grinder had fewer coffee fines than the EK grinder 235 00:09:40.091 --> 00:09:43.741 And the EK grinder had more coffee fines than the LAGOM 236 00:09:43.741 --> 00:09:46.491 (Taste difference due to the burr's screw threads) So perhaps that's why it caused 237 00:09:46.491 --> 00:09:47.691 difference in taste 238 00:09:47.691 --> 00:09:49.191 Finally measuring the TDS of the cupping.. 239 00:09:49.191 --> 00:09:50.791 We measured the TDS 240 00:09:50.791 --> 00:09:56.291 [Cupping TDS comparison] EK 1.14-1.15 / LAGOM 1.29-1.3 241 00:09:56.291 --> 00:09:58.441 First of all, when I first encountered this LAGOM grinder, 242 00:09:58.441 --> 00:09:59.591 I was actually surprised 243 00:09:59.591 --> 00:10:01.741 how slippery it was when I was trying to move the grinder 244 00:10:01.741 --> 00:10:04.991 [Downside of LAGOM 01] Be careful of slipping when moving it 245 00:10:04.991 --> 00:10:08.241 Inconvenience of calibration 246 00:10:08.241 --> 00:10:10.391 When we first did the grind calibration, 247 00:10:10.391 --> 00:10:12.141 we struggled because we couldn't find instructions 248 00:10:12.141 --> 00:10:15.541 We inquired with the local company and went through such a cumbersome process, 249 00:10:15.541 --> 00:10:19.892 Disappointed by the lack of detailed instructions 250 00:10:19.892 --> 00:10:20.992 But to me personally 251 00:10:20.992 --> 00:10:22.092 this knocker 252 00:10:22.092 --> 00:10:25.192 (EK43 knocker) You know when you use EK, there's this satisfying feeling of knocking it out like this 253 00:10:25.192 --> 00:10:29.242 (The joy of getting it all done...!) There is this feeling of getting the last of what is left in there 254 00:10:29.242 --> 00:10:31.342 But LAGOM's knocker is a bit bland 255 00:10:31.342 --> 00:10:32.942 Almost without using the knocker 256 00:10:32.942 --> 00:10:34.392 when you dose 20g, 257 00:10:34.392 --> 00:10:35.742 most of the coffee grounds come out 258 00:10:35.742 --> 00:10:39.942 But the flick is a bit bland 259 00:10:39.942 --> 00:10:45.492 [Downside of LAGOM 01] The voltage is different, so it requires a converter 260 00:10:45.492 --> 00:10:46.492 And most of all, 261 00:10:46.492 --> 00:10:49.092 we can't overlook the price 262 00:10:49.092 --> 00:10:51.142 It has a great design and the grinding speed is fast, 263 00:10:51.142 --> 00:10:52.742 and there are several advantages, but 264 00:10:52.742 --> 00:10:54.093 the price... 265 00:10:54.093 --> 00:10:57.493 Once you include the cost of purchase, customs, and shipping, 266 00:10:57.493 --> 00:10:58.743 it really comes out to be about 4 million won 267 00:10:58.743 --> 00:11:01.643 [Downside of LAGOM 01] Only available from abroad 268 00:11:01.643 --> 00:11:06.043 With long shipping and the risk of damage, you help but be worried about it 269 00:11:06.043 --> 00:11:08.143 Despite all of these drawbacks 270 00:11:08.143 --> 00:11:11.143 [Pros of LAGOM 01] Aesthetically pleasing 271 00:11:11.143 --> 00:11:14.693 The convenience of the automatic off feature 272 00:11:14.693 --> 00:11:17.443 After mounting the espresso and grinding it 273 00:11:17.443 --> 00:11:19.443 I can go on with my other routines 274 00:11:19.443 --> 00:11:22.793 This is of course a very important commercially, but 275 00:11:22.793 --> 00:11:25.393 I think it has become very important at home too 276 00:11:25.393 --> 00:11:27.643 Once I have used it, it's was so convenient that 277 00:11:27.643 --> 00:11:29.893 when I used a grinder that I had to turn off manually, 278 00:11:29.893 --> 00:11:32.644 (Not...auto) It felt a bit inconvenient 279 00:11:32.644 --> 00:11:34.494 And personally, I was really impressed with 280 00:11:34.494 --> 00:11:35.844 [Pros of LAGOM 01] the design of the hopper 281 00:11:35.844 --> 00:11:37.544 We call this Pop-corning 282 00:11:37.544 --> 00:11:39.444 Where you grind, the beans spring up 283 00:11:39.444 --> 00:11:41.844 and sometimes escape out of the hopper 284 00:11:41.844 --> 00:11:45.044 This design prevents pop-corning from happening 285 00:11:45.044 --> 00:11:47.844 As soon as you put in the beans, the angle of the hopper is good, 286 00:11:47.844 --> 00:11:49.994 so the beans go into the grinder burr nicely 287 00:11:49.994 --> 00:11:54.294 and there's a fixed cover in the shape of a mushroom that can prevent pop-corning 288 00:11:54.294 --> 00:11:57.194 It really functions well, and I had no pop-corning problems 289 00:11:57.194 --> 00:12:00.994 Another design point! 290 00:12:00.994 --> 00:12:04.244 With other grinders, once you go through the grinding routine 291 00:12:04.244 --> 00:12:08.294 the ground coffee will inevitably scatter everywhere 292 00:12:08.294 --> 00:12:10.445 and that's something we likely have experienced 293 00:12:10.445 --> 00:12:12.795 AI but the height of the dosing cup is so detailed and 294 00:12:12.795 --> 00:12:15.795 the height of the portafilter holder is perfect, 295 00:12:15.795 --> 00:12:17.695 so the ground coffee doesn't scatter much 296 00:12:17.695 --> 00:12:19.145 There are some who consider that important 297 00:12:19.145 --> 00:12:24.045 So if cleanliness is important, this one is for you! 298 00:12:24.045 --> 00:12:26.345 (I will show you) I would like to show you a little bit of what it is like 299 00:12:26.345 --> 00:12:27.745 By placing the portafilter holder 300 00:12:27.745 --> 00:12:29.445 Place the dosing ring on top of it 301 00:12:29.445 --> 00:12:30.945 Then when you place it in the holder 302 00:12:30.945 --> 00:12:32.645 It really almost fits perfectly 303 00:12:32.645 --> 00:12:35.845 There's no space for the coffee grounds to scatter 304 00:12:35.845 --> 00:12:37.695 It seems like there's about 2-3mm (empty space) left 305 00:12:37.695 --> 00:12:40.795 So, in conclusion, is this grinder worth buying? 306 00:12:40.795 --> 00:12:43.045 My experience with this grinder was, 307 00:12:43.045 --> 00:12:48.396 that I felt like this was a better grinder to use at home than in a store 308 00:12:48.396 --> 00:12:50.496 Typically, grinders at this price range 309 00:12:50.496 --> 00:12:53.546 is used when you need to grind a lot of coffee in a row 310 00:12:53.546 --> 00:12:55.396 With their nice big burrs 311 00:12:55.396 --> 00:12:57.546 and with their good specifications 312 00:12:57.546 --> 00:13:01.646 But now home cafes are going high-end 313 00:13:01.646 --> 00:13:04.096 One of the most common things people consider for their home cafe is 314 00:13:04.096 --> 00:13:05.446 [Important elements of a home cafe] design 315 00:13:05.446 --> 00:13:09.496 It's aesthetically pleasing to have it at home 316 00:13:09.496 --> 00:13:12.696 and because it practically has all the functions needed for a grinder 317 00:13:12.696 --> 00:13:14.196 I think LAGOM 01 might be the ultimate grinder 318 00:13:14.196 --> 00:13:17.496 in terms of both specs and design among the grinders that currently exist 319 00:13:17.496 --> 00:13:20.646 Conversely, if used for commercial purposes 320 00:13:20.646 --> 00:13:22.946 I have some points of concern 321 00:13:22.946 --> 00:13:24.947 With commercial uses, rather than worrying about cleanliness 322 00:13:24.947 --> 00:13:27.147 You need to grind a lot quickly and 323 00:13:27.147 --> 00:13:28.997 the routine should also be very comfortable 324 00:13:28.997 --> 00:13:32.547 First, the hopper is small so when you need to grind a large amount, 325 00:13:32.547 --> 00:13:34.397 For example, say a customer at the cafe 326 00:13:34.397 --> 00:13:37.097 is asking if they can get their 1kg beans grounded 327 00:13:37.097 --> 00:13:39.197 To do this, Ditting and EK grinders 328 00:13:39.197 --> 00:13:41.847 are designed to accommodate large coffee bags at the bottom 329 00:13:41.847 --> 00:13:44.747 But LAGOM 01 is more closer to a home use 330 00:13:44.747 --> 00:13:48.047 For such retail grinding, the capacity of the lower part is also small 331 00:13:48.047 --> 00:13:49.597 and the size of the hopper is small 332 00:13:49.597 --> 00:13:51.847 So I think it's a grinder that is more suitable for 333 00:13:51.847 --> 00:13:55.297 single dosing at home or 334 00:13:55.297 --> 00:13:57.347 when extracting a small number of cups of coffee 335 00:13:57.347 --> 00:13:58.497 And one more thing 336 00:13:58.497 --> 00:14:01.148 For the EK, the routines are more efficient 337 00:14:01.148 --> 00:14:02.748 With the grinding still on, 338 00:14:02.748 --> 00:14:04.748 you can add 20g of beans through the top and get a cup 339 00:14:04.748 --> 00:14:07.548 and simply remove the stopper and your beans are good to be grounded 340 00:14:07.548 --> 00:14:09.198 With the grinding continuously on 341 00:14:09.198 --> 00:14:10.598 you can proceed to the next routine 342 00:14:10.598 --> 00:14:12.698 But with LAGOM 01, that routine is not possible 343 00:14:12.698 --> 00:14:14.198 After dosing the beans 344 00:14:14.198 --> 00:14:16.048 you have to place the dosing cup back underneath 345 00:14:16.048 --> 00:14:16.648 Then you have to turn it on 346 00:14:16.648 --> 00:14:17.798 and then you need to remove it again 347 00:14:17.798 --> 00:14:20.348 LAGOM 01 is not well-suited for continuous extraction routines 348 00:14:20.348 --> 00:14:22.898 So I would say that if you are looking at it as a commercial grinder 349 00:14:22.898 --> 00:14:26.198 I hope you will take this into consideration when making your purchase 350 00:14:26.198 --> 00:14:27.348 In my opinion 351 00:14:27.348 --> 00:14:29.598 It is a little bit more for a home cafe than commercial use 352 00:14:29.598 --> 00:14:32.748 Maybe it is a little more suited at a lab or a studio 353 00:14:32.748 --> 00:14:34.348 That is just my personal thought 354 00:14:34.348 --> 00:14:36.098 Of course, if I want to start a cafe 355 00:14:36.098 --> 00:14:38.499 and need a grinder with a bit of this vibe 356 00:14:38.499 --> 00:14:39.449 (the design alone is appealing) I would have considered it 357 00:14:39.449 --> 00:14:41.449 So just like that 358 00:14:41.449 --> 00:14:44.649 I was the first person to purchase the LAGOM 01 in Korea 359 00:14:44.649 --> 00:14:48.049 and shared with you all my thoughts on its design, its pros and cons 360 00:14:48.049 --> 00:14:49.349 and my personal experience after using it 361 00:14:49.349 --> 00:14:52.499 I will be back next time with another product review 362 00:14:52.499 --> 00:14:53.799 Have a great day 363 00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:55.299 If you found today's content helpful 364 00:14:55.299 --> 00:14:57.949 Like, Subscribe, and click the bell button 365 00:14:57.949 --> 00:14:58.499 Thank you!
