5. Information & tips
The Lagom P64 is a unique grinder in many ways and these are the tips that may not be apparent at first:
The first grind session may have up to ~0.5g retention. This is a static retention as some of the
coffee will be used to fill up the space within the grinder. This will not come off during
subsequent grind – so there is no concern of carry over or stale coffee in your shot.
Please refrain from adjusting the grind setting below zero (sticker indicator) with the motor
running. It is fine for the burrs to contact momentarily but when done excessively it may wear
the coating on the burrs.
That being said, it is perfectly safe to contact the burrs fully when the motor is turned off.
We recommend to keep the motor running when making adjustment to the grind setting.
There is a slight delay before the motor is started after the power switch is activated. This is a self-
check safety feature to protect the driver board and for longer service life span in unexpected
incidents like a power surge etc.
5.1 Additional note about SSP Burrs
The grind from Lagom (with SSP unimodal-espresso burrs) may appear visually finer at a similar
setting compared to most grinders. This can throw you off if you are adjusting the grind size by
eye. The finer grind allows you to extract more evenly without over extraction occurring.
The SSP burrs can benefit from seasoning – e.g. 5kg/10lb is recommended by SSP for their burrs.
However, there is no reason for you to waste coffee. We recommend using it as it is and enjoy the
process as the Lagom becomes more seasoned. As the Lagom is breaking in, you can expect even
lesser static and more uniform grind with even extraction.
For coarse grinding, we do recommend using RDT to eliminate the static for a cleaner process.
