Since I feel indirectly responsible for all the extra trauma on your mailman, I made extra sure to put the Lido2 in the mail today at lunch.  The USPS claims it will deliver on the dark roast coast by eod Thursday!

I got the Lido-2 today.  I plan to test against every grinder I have.

Grindriper
Hario
Trosser
Virtuoso
Santos Espresso
La Pavoni Espresso

It could take a few days.  If I like it I will probably buy one at SCAA... or a Pharos if I don't like it :)

Lido and Virtuoso are equal IMO in consistent grind followed by;

3 - Hario
4 - Grindripper
5 - Trosser

Grindripper is easiest hand grinder to grind with followed by

Hario
Lido
Trosser

Next up Espresso grind.....

Here is the Lido vs my Santos Espresso grinder.  This was the first espresso grind... not fine enough but still very uniform

It took a second adjustment to get the Lido fine enough for the Cafethema Lever.. but I have to say it does the job.. took about a minute to grind enough for a shot, but it did just fine.

I don't particularly like the glass jar for espresso, because it's a PITA to get it in the portafilter without making a horrid mess... but here are the two shots.... you guess which is from the Lido!!

The Lido 2 arrived at my place today. Even after looking at all the pictures and reading about everyone saying how heavy it is, I was very surprised. Nice piece of gear for sure. Hefty. I'll put it through some paces and report back.

I ran the Lido 2 through its paces this week and all I can say is "Wow". This is a serious piece of hardware. I use a Preciso daily and I did some side by side comparisons this past week. I have a small sifter I use to sift out fines and from my experience it produces considerably less fines than the Preciso. It is heavy and reasonable easy to grind with for pour over. That said, I realize how much I don't like hand grinding. While it may be inherent laziness on my part, I really can't stand to hand grind in the morning. My brain is too foggy first thing when I'm making coffee so most of the experimentation with it was done in the afternoon. The adjustment mechanism is cool , but if it is very not tight, it can wander a little bit. Overall, I was very impressed with it though.  Very cool!!

Lido 2 is here! Lido 2 is here!

Wow. What a hunk of coffee grinding beauty this thing is. I've pulled a few shot with the PVL and the grinder has done great. Can't wait to put it through the paces.
