Orphan Espresso Lido E

It’s excellent for filter coffee and that’s what I use it for everyday. With the Lido, I think of the settings as a coordinate system and you can easily go from one grind setting to another by thinking in terms of rotation + notches. For the Lido E, espresso is 0+6 to 0+8, zero rotations and 8 notches, for v60 osmotic method, it’s 2+2, 2 full rotations +2 notches. It’s easy to turn but can be slow, like 1 minute for 35g of filter coffee, compared to 30 seconds on the Pharos.

Out of the three I like the Lido E the least. The adjustment method and the size made it very cumbersome to use. The relatively short turn handle to body ratio adds to the effort it takes to grind coffee. In comparison, the other 2 are much more pleasant of an experience to use.

I got an open box R58 and an Orphan Espresso Lido-E. I used that grinder for about a year and then upgraded to the Flat Max and Flat. Overall, like others have said, the first thing I've noticed compared to the previous equipment is stability and consistency. Of course, I still have to dial in the grinders when switching roast batches and beans, but that is true for any grinder.
