Overview
The Lagom P100 takes the successful formula of the P64 and scales it up dramatically with massive 98mm flat burrs. This commercial-grade burr set delivers extraordinary uniformity and clarity in the cup, with the large surface area enabling faster grinding with less heat generation. The P100 retains the elegant design language of the P64 while adding the heft and power needed to drive its enormous burrs. Available with multiple burr options, it can be configured for espresso-focused or filter-focused brewing. The single-dose workflow is well-executed with low retention and a bellows-equipped loading system. For the serious home barista who wants café-quality grinding without a café-sized footprint, the P100 represents the sweet spot between domestic and commercial grinding.
The Lagom P100 features a 98mm flat burr set, crafted from steel. The burrs spin at 1200 RPM, offering fast grinding for high-volume use. Grind retention is approximately 0.5g, which is impressively low and suitable for single-dose workflows.
At $2,500, the Lagom P100 is aimed at uncompromising enthusiasts and professionals who want the absolute best. Key workflow features include single-dose design (no hopper needed) and stepless grind adjustment for infinite precision. The flat burr design produces a more uniform particle distribution, prized for clarity and sweetness in the cup.
The Lagom P100 is weighing 15.0 kg, manufactured in China, powered by a 350W motor. Its footprint measures 160 x 220 x 400 mm (W×D×H).

Our Verdict
The Lagom P100 uses flat burrs, which are the preferred geometry for espresso among competition baristas and specialty coffee professionals. Flat burrs produce a more unimodal (uniform) particle distribution, which translates to cleaner, sweeter espresso with more clarity than conical alternatives. This is an end-game grinder for dedicated enthusiasts. The price is substantial but reflects the engineering required for top-tier particle uniformity. Pair it with a machine that does justice to the grind quality, and you'll taste the difference in every shot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Lagom P100 grind fine enough for espresso?
Yes, the Lagom P100 is capable of grinding fine enough for espresso. Its stepless adjustment allows you to dial in precisely for any coffee.
Is the Lagom P100 good for single dosing?
Yes, the Lagom P100 is designed for single dosing. With only 0.5g of retention, virtually all the coffee you put in comes out ground. Weigh your beans before grinding for the most consistent results.
Why choose flat burrs in the Lagom P100?
Flat burrs produce a more uniform (unimodal) particle distribution compared to conical burrs. This translates to cleaner, more transparent espresso flavors with pronounced sweetness and clarity. Many competition baristas and specialty roasters prefer flat burr grinders for this reason.
How do I maintain the Lagom P100?
Clean out retained grounds after each use with a brush or bellows. Deep clean the burrs every 2-4 weeks by removing them and brushing away oil buildup. For the motor, occasional use of grinder cleaning tablets (like Grindz) helps remove coffee oil buildup. Never wash burrs with water.
Is the Lagom P100 worth $2,500?
The grinder is the most important variable in espresso quality — more important than the machine. Investing in a quality grinder like the Lagom P100 will have a bigger impact on your espresso than upgrading any other piece of equipment. If you're serious about espresso, this level of grinder investment is justified.
