Option-O · Flat burrLagom P80
An 80mm flat-burr single-doser from the Australian outfit behind the P64, built around new Mizen 80OM burrs with an integrated pre-crusher for juicy, high-clarity cups across espresso and filter.
The short version
This is Option-O doing what it does best: take a proven shape, cram in a bigger burr set and smarter internals, and not touch the price much.
Buy it because you want an 80mm daily driver with an easy workflow, not because you think it will magically out-taste a well-run 64mm setup.
Why people buy it
- 80mm Mizen burrs with a built-in pre-crusher give genuinely juicy, high-clarity cups across both espresso and filter without needing RDT
- Magnetic blind-burr mount makes burr swaps and zero calibration something you can actually do on a weeknight, not a weekend project
Why they don’t
- New design with a fresh magnetic burr carrier and pre-crusher geometry, so long-term reliability is still unproven at scale
The full tally
- 80mm Mizen burrs with a built-in pre-crusher give genuinely juicy, high-clarity cups across both espresso and filter without needing RDT
- Magnetic blind-burr mount makes burr swaps and zero calibration something you can actually do on a weeknight, not a weekend project
- 500W brushless motor is quiet even at the top of its 300-1700 RPM range, which matters if this thing lives in a shared kitchen
- Keeps the compact P64 footprint despite the bigger burr set, so the upgrade doesn't cost you counter space
- New design with a fresh magnetic burr carrier and pre-crusher geometry, so long-term reliability is still unproven at scale
- 80mm burr sets cost roughly double 64mm ones, and Option-O only offers one stock burr choice at launch, so experimentation gets expensive fast
- Priced alongside genuine 80mm rivals like the Zerno Z2 and Weber EG-1, this is a four-figure purchase aimed squarely at people who already know they want a flagship grinder
What the community knows
Years of owner threads, distilled — the default recommendation in its bracket.
Strong Option-O heritage and precision alignment earn trust; workflow refinements (magnetic burr swaps, purge mode, quiet operation) polish the P64 formula into endgame territory, but premium CAD pricing and tight espresso dial range (0.9–1.0 out of 10 unseasoned) reveal it…

Worth knowing before you buy — Most owners wish they knew the espresso range shrinks dramatically before burr seasoning completes (20kg break-in), and that dial resolution trades off for brew versatility.
“Ignore the mixed info, some are spreading false info about this grinder and I would just flat out ignore them. Its a great grinder, that's easy to use, clean, amazing work flow and quiet.”

Living with it
The part spec sheets skip: counter space, upkeep, and what owners learn later.
The honest note — Most owners land here directly from a P64 or as a first flagship grinder rather than working further up - the only meaningful next step is a 98mm/102mm Lagom P100 or P01, or chasing aftermarket 80mm burrs (SSP-class) within the P80's own mount.

Before it arrives

Coffee scale with timer — Espresso is a ratio. A 0.1g scale with a built-in timer is the single biggest consistency upgrade for any manual machine.

- Dosing cup — Pairs with single-dose grinding — grind into the cup, swirl, and transfer to the portafilter cleanly.
- Grinder cleaning kit — Brushes and grinder tablets keep retention and stale grounds in check.
Feed it right
Week one is dial-in — and stale beans will lose it.
Coffee more than a few weeks past roast won’t extract predictably, and a new grinder gets blamed for it. These burrs lean bright — washed single-origins with real acidity are where they earn their price.

Common questions
Is the Lagom P80 better for espresso or filter?
Option-O designed it for both. The stepless thread adjustment covers the full range from Turkish fine to French press coarse, and the company tested it extensively across espresso and filter during development.
Can I use other 80mm burrs in the P80?
Yes. The burr mount works with 3-pin blind-burr and two-screw 80mm burrs, so aftermarket options are possible, though Option-O notes the 64mm platform is a more cost-effective playground if you plan to experiment heavily with different burrs.
Does the P80 replace the P64?
It is positioned as the larger-burr successor in the lineup, but Option-O says the P64 remains a strong, more affordable platform, especially for people who want to explore widely available 64mm burr options.
