Overview
The Lido E is an espresso-focused variant of the Lido 3, with a finer pitch on the adjustment thread for more precise control in the espresso range. The same excellent 48mm Swiss-made burrs deliver outstanding grind uniformity, now with the resolution needed for precise espresso dialing. The Lido E was a pioneer in the espresso hand grinder category, proving that manual grinding was a viable path to excellent espresso. Its performance-to-price ratio remains strong despite the influx of newer competitors.
The Lido E features a 48mm conical burr set, crafted from steel. Grind retention is approximately 0.1g — virtually zero retention, making it excellent for single dosing.
At $225, the Lido E is aimed at home baristas seeking a solid grinder without a premium price tag. Key workflow features include single-dose design (no hopper needed) and stepless grind adjustment for infinite precision. As a hand grinder, it's completely silent, portable, and gives you a meditative morning ritual.
The Lido E is weighing 0.9 kg, manufactured in USA. Its footprint measures 70 x 70 x 240 mm (W×D×H).
