February update (Lagom P64)

Hello all,

Sorry for the sparse update in the news section. As of today, we’re glad to share that our first batch of Lagoms orders have officially been delivered for more than a month now. Early feedbacks have been very positive too. We owe that all to our early supporters. So a big thank you!

In the light of the recent flu virus outbreak in China, we regret to inform it is likely to affect the Lagom deliveries planned for mid-February. The extent of the disruption is uncertain at this point of time, as the holiday for lunar new year had been extended in China due to the outbreak.  This is not an isolated case that only affects us, but also larger tech companies such Apple Inc. and Tesla etc. As travel restrictions are in place in many parts of China, this could mean the supply chain is likely to be interrupted during this period. For us, we estimate this could set the shipping date back by 1-2 weeks from the original mid-Feb estimate. Fortunately, we do already have all parts in-house and are ready for assembly and testing to begin.

On a positive note, we have made use of this down time to perform more testing on the Lagom. Some of you may have heard we have recently acquired a Decent espresso machine for testing the Lagom with pressure/flow-profiling. We are happy to report that the SSP brew burrs will work with flow/pressure profiling, including lighter roasts, which was a concern intially.

We will also be implementing a minor design change on the Lagom - which involves substituting the roller nuts to allow for better alignment consistency between units. This should not affect any delivered Lagom units - and the good news is that the change is also 100% retrofittable to any exsisting Lagoms. We will make the retrofit kit available to first batch owners once they are ready.

We will keep you updated via email as soon as we get confirmation when we can ship the Lagom. Shall you have any concern in the meanwhile, please feel free to get in touch at contact@option-o.com.

Best regards

Option-O Team
