Option-O has already convinced us in the past with the larger and more expensive Lagom P64. Now the Lagom Casa with a conical 65mm burr grinder 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 are the test data and test video first.

Classification and Conclusion
When we look at the Lagom Casa in the market environment, it competes with machines like the Niche Zero. Compared to the Niche, the Casa looks more valuable and modern through the absence of plastic. Compared to many other Single Dosing grinders, it scores with a much more thoughtful workflow and the absence of an annoying bellows.
Previously, you had to spend significantly over 1000 euros to get a grinder with this manufacturing quality and such low retention. Option-O has put together a package that is especially interesting for coffee nerds looking for precision but don't want to spend 1500 euros on a P64. It is a clear recommendation for anyone who celebrates single dosing and has the necessary 40 seconds per shot. However, anyone looking for a grinder for commercial use or who needs to pull five espressos in a row in the morning for the family won't be happy with the Casa – it's simply too slow for that.
