Lido OG Manual Grinder Review

 

Orphan Espresso’s Lido line is one of the best on the market, with grinders like the Lido 2, Lido 3, Lido E-T, and now the Lido OG Manual Coffee Grinder. Orphan Espresso first began their journey with Lido grinders back in 2012, and now almost ten years later, they’ve just recently introduced the newest addition: the Lido OG. 

At first glance, you’ll notice the ways that the OG physically stands out among the other Lido manual grinders. For one, it is smaller and sleeker than the other models. And a unique quality about this grinder is that the OG is made up of almost 95% metal. It contains materials like aluminum, brass, and stainless steel, which make this grinder not only aesthetically pleasing, but incredibly durable. 

For the devoted Lido grinder fans, fear not. The Lido OG still uses Etzinger steel burrs, which are the type of burrs Orphan Espresso has been using for years. These burrs are long-lasting and protected from dents, overheating, and rust. They are top of the line in accuracy and are one of the shining features of the Lido line of coffee grinders.

According to Orphan Espresso, another one of their favorite features of the Lido OG grinder is the dual grind setting adjustment system. Orphan has continued to upgrade their products in a way that makes the grind settings more accurate and easier to set. 

For the OG, you’ll find both micro and macro adjustments that are simple and leave no room for mystery. You’ll know exactly what you’re grinding every time. This process has also become easier because of the side loading hopper feature. Now, you don’t have to worry about interfering with your grind setting when you want to load beans into the hopper!

Lido OG Features:Etzinger hardened stainless steel burr set

It wouldn’t be a Lido without the reliable Etzinger stainless steel burrs that OE fans love so much. These Etzinger burr sets are made of 48mm ring burrs and 32 cone burrs that work perfectly together to yield a professional-grade grind accuracy every time. They are also designed to last a long time without wearing down, making the money spent well worth it. 

50 gram hopper

Lido fans are most likely used to the transparent plastic hopper in previous Lido grinder models. The Lido OG hopper is made of anodized aluminum and is covered with a silicone grip. This makes it easier to hold on to when you’re using the grinder. This change in design was a big leap for Orphan Espresso, and the decision was made after hearing that customers wanted an easier way to grip onto the grinder. This hopper also holds 50 grams of coffee and contains a side port for loading your coffee beans, which is also a new feature for OE. 

Easy disassembly and reassembly

The beauty of using the Lido OG is that you can disassemble and reassemble the grinder quickly and without any tools. You can clean the grinder without having to move the axle or burr alignment, which has been a suggestion from customers with past Lido models. 

Macro and micro adjustments

The dual adjustment system is well-known among Orphan Espresso fans, but the process keeps getting easier and easier with each new grinder. With the Lido OG grinder, you’ll be able to more quickly adjust your grind setting while having the confidence in its accuracy every time. The adjustments are located on the top, where you’ll see both numbers and tick marks.

To use a macro adjustment, you’ll turn the bottom part of the adjustment knob, which is numbered 0-2000. To use the micro adjustments, you’ll turn the brass part of the knob and set your desired micro step, which is marked in groups of five.
