What customers say
The Lido 3 Hand Grinder earns high praise, particularly for its exceptional grind consistency, driven by the large 48mm conical burrs. Users frequently note this performance rivals or exceeds many expensive electric grinders, establishing it as a high value tool for serious filter coffee enthusiasts. Build quality is a major strength; its robust aluminum and steel construction inspires confidence in its long term reliability. The grinding action is smooth and efficient due to the dual bearing system. While its size and weight make it less convenient for minimalist travel, the Lido 3 is widely regarded as a superior, durable investment for dedicated home brewing.
Know before you buy
Yes, the Lido 3 is designed for versatility. Its stepless adjustment ring allows you to dial in precise settings for everything from fine espresso to coarse French press grinds.
While it is robust and weighs 1050g, the Lido 3 is designed for travel with a foldable handle and an included carrying case. It is a great choice if you prioritize grind quality over ultra-lightweight gear.
The grinder uses a stepless adjustment ring located on the body. You simply rotate the ring to move the burrs closer or further apart, giving you infinite control over your grind size without being restricted to fixed clicks.
The Lido 3 features a zero-retention design, meaning almost all the coffee you put into the hopper ends up in your grounds container. This helps ensure you aren't wasting beans or mixing old grounds with fresh ones.
The grinder is straightforward to maintain and comes with the necessary tools for disassembly. Periodic cleaning of the 48mm stainless steel burrs will keep your grind consistent and prevent oil buildup.
The hopper has a capacity of approximately 70g of coffee beans, which is more than enough for a large batch of filter coffee or multiple servings of espresso.
