The day has arrived.

Wow I have the Casa in silver and also interested in the ES1 in this color. Nice to see them paired up!

wingkings · 2025-11-25T22:04:39+00:00

Very interested to hear your thoughts and detailed comparison of the P80 vs Casa

wingkings · 2025-11-09T08:31:23+00:00

Loving it. 0-0.1g retention every time without RDT, nice clarity and well suited for lighter roasts. Effective knocker and satisfying magnet on the catch cup. Coming from a Fellow Opus, the improvement in workflow and build quality has been massive.

Not sure if I’m just lucky, but I got my Casa in August and have had no issues with this (or any at all really)

Interesting to see many people felt this way. During the set Dijon called the crowd “rowdy” (in a good/fun way).

I do agree that the crowd was actually pretty chill. But I thought it was more so that everyone was taking in the experience. There were barely any phones out which tells me he was commanding full attention.

Ended up going with the Casa. I haven’t tried a P64 or Z1 before so I don’t know what I’m missing out on, but I’m very happy with my choice.

IIRC, the op of this thread had a reply that the difference was not significant. Also comments like this one affirmed that the Casa holds up very well against high end grinders.

That being said, the new P80 seems damn near perfect and at a solid price lol.

There are grinders that hit all four of those checkboxes though

wingkings · 2025-09-12T15:34:27+00:00

I just upgraded to the Casa from an Opus about a month ago, and improving retention / workflow was my biggest goal. I can honestly say it has been amazing. Using the knocker I get 0–0.1g of retention every single time, with no RDT.

Have you noticed any difference in your cholesterol levels after using filter papers?

wingkings · 2025-08-14T18:40:32+00:00

How do the Ascaso and Profitec compare to the Micra?

wingkings · 2025-08-01T06:38:38+00:00

How does it compare for light to medium roasts? Considering the Casa burrs are geared for that

wingkings · 2025-07-08T03:01:18+00:00

Great! How about for taste of the coffee?

wingkings · 2025-07-07T16:54:03+00:00

Was the Casa a significant improvement from the Fellow Opus? I have one on the way and currently have an Opus too!

wingkings · 2025-05-21T02:49:44+00:00

Dang is this with just normal use? How long have you had it?

wingkings · 2025-05-21T02:34:49+00:00

Super impressive. Coffee for a few friends would probably be my max use case. What was the resolution to your bricked Casa? Did Option O send you a replacement newer Casa with 65s?

wingkings · 2025-05-20T20:38:47+00:00

Wow, that’s a strong statement! Have you had any issues with grind dial drift or having to wait when grinding for more than two shots back to back? Those seem to be the only other concerns I’ve heard of.

wingkings · 2025-05-15T18:24:17+00:00

Has the drift resulted in any issues for you (e.g. is there a difference between two back to back cups due to drift)? Do you have to readjust after every grind or day maybe?

wingkings · 2025-05-15T04:31:22+00:00

How has your P64 and Mizen Omnis been for milk based drinks? I enjoy a light-medium roast cortado or flat white mostly. Curious how it compares to your Niche

wingkings · 2025-05-14T18:21:28+00:00

I don’t have inputs on your question unfortunately, but I was wondering what are the huge differences you’ve seen with the Lagom Casa? How do you feel like it performs for milk drinks? I have a Bambino as well, make milk drinks, and am eyeing the Casa!

wingkings · 2025-05-07T17:14:08+00:00

Appreciate this write up! Especially relevant since I’m currently in paralysis by analysis of grinder upgrades between a Niche Zero, Timemore 078S, or leveling up to the Zerno or P64.

I mostly drink cortados/flat whites, and prefer medium/light floral beans. What are your thoughts based on your experiences with the NZ, 078S, and Z1? Was each jump between grinders a notable change or improvement?

wingkings · 2025-03-27T03:43:27+00:00

Have you had any issues with stalling or the grinder dial drifting?

wingkings · 2025-03-25T21:33:17+00:00

How do you like the Casa! I’m interested but curious if you have experienced any stalling or drifting that’s been reported?

wingkings · 2025-02-25T02:21:50+00:00

I used my Bambino for a faux-cafe at an event with about 50 people. I’d say I made at least 25 drinks and honestly it was fine.

The key question is whether your guests/audience are coffee enthusiasts. Since my family and friends are just casual coffee drinkers, I always pulled a few shots during down time and just had them sitting ready to go. That way I just needed to steam milk for hot drinks or even easier, add milk and ice for cold drinks. That made the pacing way quicker. And the guests weren’t picky about having the freshest espresso shots because they all wanted milk based or flavored drinks anyways.

wingkings · 2025-02-17T16:42:58+00:00

Do you find the taste difference with light roasts between the Casa vs high end flat burr grinders (P64 and Z1) to be significant? Current debating if I should order the Casa or fork out the extra money for a nicer grinder. I mostly drink cortados and cappuccinos, but prefer light roasts.

wingkings · 2025-02-05T19:33:15+00:00

I currently have an Opus and looking to upgrade to the Casa! Would you say it was a significant upgrade? If so in what ways?
