Know before you buy
Yes, the Lido is designed with a high-quality conical burr mechanism that allows for precise adjustments, making it capable of grinding fine enough for espresso as well as coarser settings for French press.
The Lido features a generous hopper capacity that typically holds enough beans for a large batch of drip coffee or a standard French press, making it efficient for single or double servings.
While it is built with durable, high-quality materials that give it a substantial feel, its compact, manual design makes it a popular choice for coffee enthusiasts who want to maintain a consistent grind while traveling.
The grinder uses a stepless adjustment system, which allows you to dial in your grind size with extreme precision. You simply rotate the adjustment ring to move between settings, giving you full control over your extraction.
The grinding process is smooth and efficient thanks to the high-quality burr set. While it does require manual effort, the ergonomic handle design is engineered to make the process comfortable even when grinding for finer methods like espresso.
