Overview
The Lagom P64 Flat is a variant of the beloved P64 optimized specifically for espresso extraction. Shipping with high-quality flat burrs designed for maximum clarity and sweetness in espresso, this version emphasizes the flavor profile that flat burr enthusiasts love. The unchanged body design maintains the P64 compact footprint and minimalist aesthetic, while the burr geometry has been tuned for tighter particle distribution at espresso-fine settings. Single-dosing workflow remains excellent with sub-0.3g retention and the convenient bellows system. The stepless adjustment allows micro-adjustments critical for espresso dialing. If you know you want flat burr espresso flavor and do not need the versatility of the standard P64 burr set, this focused version delivers even better results in the cup.
The Lagom P64 Flat features a 64mm flat burr set, crafted from steel. The burrs spin at 1400 RPM, offering fast grinding for high-volume use. Grind retention is approximately 0.3g — virtually zero retention, making it excellent for single dosing.
At $1,350, the Lagom P64 Flat 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.

Our Verdict
The Lagom P64 Flat 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 P64 Flat grind fine enough for espresso?
Yes, the Lagom P64 Flat is capable of grinding fine enough for espresso. Its stepless adjustment allows you to dial in precisely for any coffee.
Is the Lagom P64 Flat good for single dosing?
Yes, the Lagom P64 Flat is designed for single dosing. With only 0.3g 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 P64 Flat?
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 P64 Flat?
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 P64 Flat worth $1,350?
The grinder is the most important variable in espresso quality — more important than the machine. Investing in a quality grinder like the Lagom P64 Flat 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.
