    I'm trying to talk myself into a porlex mini hand grinder. It'll do the job, yes?

    Then i see the Lido 2 being advertised on the same page and wonder "its 5 times the price, but how much better is it?".

      Hi KC,
      Lots of comparisons in the world - cortina vs Ferrari. Both will get you to destination etc.
      For me the Lido 3 looks ideal for travelling. I'll wait and see how much they are once in production
      Cheers
      Dave

        Just an update:

        I ended up purchasing the Lido 2 from Chris at Talk Coffee around 12 months ago and have been very happy with it. I am currently using it to grind for a La Pavoni Pro and it is doing a great job. I have to have it set to within 1 or 2 graduations of it's finest, but at it's finest, I am able to choke the Pavoni. It can take quite a while to grind when set this fine, but I very rarely pull more than two at a time. It is a very solid unit, nothing has broken, nor am I expecting anything to :-)

        Regards,

        Matt

          Morning Matt, LaPavoni Pro and manual grinder, sounds to me like your coffee making ritual would be a very quiet process, I like it.

          As a matter of interest what type of coffee do you make with the Pav?

            I usually do cappuccinos for my wife and cappuccino/latte for myself. I do prefer a ristretto type shot. I'm also about to get into roasting my own beans, so that will be an interesting time.

            It was only in the last few days that I got a double filter, and it is sooo much better than the single I received with the machine.

            BTW, I notice you are in Moonta - I am in Adelaide but periodically stay at a family friend's shack at Pt Hughes, so Moonta is quite familiar to me :-)

            Cheers,

            Matt

              I agree, the double basket is streets ahead of the single.

              We like it on the Copper Coast, nice quiet area.

                That's my dream coffee nirvana, lever and hand grinder - degraditis I guess. A therapeutic ritual, a slowing down, the same feeling sharpening knives on a stone gives.

                It just sucks when you've got many coffees to make with others telling you their Nespresso is much quicker.
