Option-O Lagom Mini 2 – compact electric single-dose coffee grinder
The Option-O Lagom Mini 2 has a 9.5 × 6.5 cm footprint, grinds for filter and espresso and runs on USB-C. Buy in Switzerland, see it live in Bern and Zurich.
Option-O describes it as the most compact electric coffee grinder the team knows of on the market. Inside works a Mizen 48MS conical burr set, and the grind setting is stepless. According to Option-O, grinding 18 g takes about 15–30 seconds at filter setting and 45–60 seconds at espresso setting.
What defines the Lagom Mini 2
Very compact
The footprint measures 9.5 × 6.5 cm. It takes up hardly any counter space and fits in your luggage.
Powered via USB-C
The Mini 2 runs on any PD3.0-compliant USB-C power adapter with 100 W (20 V / 5 A). When travelling, the adapter you already carry is often enough.
For filter and espresso
According to Option-O, the Mizen 48MS burrs are designed for both: filter coffee and espresso.
Press and forget
New is the auto-off function. The grinder detects when the beans are ground and stops by itself.
The details in everyday use
Compact like a hand grinder, without the cranking
Option-O developed the Lagom Mini for everyone who values the benefits of a hand grinder – small footprint, good grind quality, minimal maintenance – and still wants to grind at the press of a button. It is intended for one or two cups in the morning, as an additional filter grinder next to the espresso grinder or as a light travel grinder for 100–240 V.
All metal, built for many years
All critical parts are made of high-strength stainless steel and aluminium. The aluminium is anodised and therefore corrosion-resistant. Option-O's goal is tools that are functional, beautiful and long-lasting.
Low retention, fresh coffee with every grind
Like all Option-O grinders, the Mini is built for single dosing. Hardly any grounds stay in the grind path; according to Option-O, typical dynamic retention is below 0.2 g. No purging is needed when changing beans or grind setting, which saves coffee, especially with small bags.
USB-C as the standard
USB-C is becoming the universal charging standard. You choose a reputable adapter or use one you already own, for example for your laptop or phone. That saves an extra device in your luggage and electronic waste.
Mizen 48MS burrs
The Mizen 48MS is derived from Option-O's Moonshine burrs. It is designed for filter coffee and also works for espresso, with a clean cup profile. Option-O places its clarity between unimodal flat burrs and average conical burrs.
Precision-built for a uniform grind
All critical parts are CNC-machined. The main axle runs in two P5-grade angular contact bearings. Both keep the burrs stable and ensure a uniform particle size.

Who it is made for
For everyone who wants to grind fresh and has little space, for travellers and for everyone who wants a separate filter grinder next to their espresso grinder. Which grinder suits you is a personal decision. Burrs are like engines: there is no objectively best one. Our opinion is one of many.
More models can be found at Option-O and in all coffee grinders. If you prefer grinding by hand: hand grinders from Comandante and Timemore. If you want a larger electric single-dose grinder: Varia and Weber Workshops.
For everyone who wants scales that are affordable and precise: Normcore. If you want an app and flow-rate display: Acaia. For filter coffee, drippers from Hario or the BIRD from Weber Workshops fit well, together with a gooseneck kettle.
Our advice tool narrows down the choice in a few steps. A free consultation is possible in the showroom, by phone or virtually. Online, Jackson, our AI advisor, helps you choose.

How durable is the motor?
The DC motor is rated for over 600 operating hours. At filter setting, according to Option-O, that corresponds to over 1,200 kg of coffee.
Can I see the product before buying?
In our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich Oerlikon (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) we show a wide selection, but not every model is on display at all times. Write to [email protected] before your visit and we will check whether the Lagom Mini 2 is there.
Roastery tip: For espresso from the Mini 2 we like full-bodied beans such as Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight, with a fine grind, 14.5 to 17 g of coffee and a ratio below 1:2. If you want maximum body without acidity, go for Very Nutty. For filter coffee with a fruity note: Wild Peach. Other beans work just as well. This is our recommendation, one of many.
