Welcome the Newest Family Member to the LAGOM Lineup: The LAGOM Casa!
It’s official now! Kudos to those of you who managed to sneak a peek at the backend of our website that were still drafting (who would’ve thought, we didn’t even give any hints this round!).
This time, we are finally ready to to announce the newest family member in our LAGOM lineup: LAGOM casa!
Why Casa?
Casa" means 'home' in Italian, which we found fitting as that is precisely where we hope the Casa will make a difference – in the homes of our fellow coffee enthusiasts. The Casa is also a tribute to our early days as home baristas. Reflecting on our journey, we started OPTION-O because we couldn’t find a coffee grinder that met our needs. Fast forward a few years, we are now honored to have the privilege (and a bit of fun) of deciding what goes into our ‘ideal home grinder’, and we are humbled to present to you our creation. We’ve put together (if we may say so ourselves) a thoughtfully designed grinder that we believe should satisfy the need of most home users looking for a simple no-fuss grinder, as well as experienced users looking for a simple but high-performing grinder.
Quoting a famous saying, “Everything should be as simple as it can be, but not simpler.” This is the thought/vibe that went into the design of the Casa. Sometimes, we just want a simple tool that performs well, simple to use, but without going over the top (though, of course, there are times when we want to do exactly opposite that 😉). If that resonates with you, we hope the Casa checks all the right boxes for you too.
Shipping timeline & order
We anticipate to start shipping the LAGOM casa in late April 2024. However, we are not taking pre-orders at this moment until we are ready to ship and confident everything meets our standards.
At launch, LAGOM casa will only be available with the choice of 48mm burrs – a multipurpose burr geometry adapted from our well-loved portable LAGOM mini, which means it can excel at both filter brewing and espresso. These burrs also happen to be the favorite filter burrs of a certain someone famous (if you follow the social media closely 😉). If you would like to be notified when the Casa is first available, we recommend signing up to our waitlist (on the order page linked below).
65mm Conical Burrs
If you have seen the early leaks, you might have also read that LAGOM casa may be available with 65mm burrs. And that is true! Unfortunately though, this is not available at launch as the burr development process took longer than we planned. Thus we’ve decided to release the Casa first and the burrs later. Existing owners of LAGOM casa can purchase the burrs later at a discounted rate (estimated end of Q2 to Q3).
We hope to share more about the 65mm burrs in due time (it is expected to be more espresso-focused than filter), but we still have a bit of work to do before we can do that confidently.
Of course, you may choose to watch from the sidelines for now if you are particularly interested in the 65mm burrs and prefer just one burr set. Once the 65mm burrs are ready, the LAGOM casa will be offered with the option to choose between 48mm burrs or 65mm burrs. If you wish to be kept updated, you can also sign up on our waitlist on the product page (by selecting the 65mm burrs and you will be prompted to enter your email address) .

As always, we appreciate the incredible support from the community!
We hope you will enjoy this release!
