Turin now sells the DF64 Gen 2 as the Gen 2.7; the "Gen 2" revision names vary by seller. The Lagom P100 no longer appears in Option-O's shop and it hasn't named a replacement, so you'd be buying used.

The same number means different things
Both grinders use a numbered dial, which makes it tempting to copy a number straight across. Setting 5 sits at grind index 0 on the DF64 Gen 2 but 26.8 on the Lagom P100 — far enough apart to change the cup.
Converting a setting
If a recipe quotes a setting for one of these grinders, read across for the equivalent on the other. Rows are spaced evenly by grind size, not by dial number — on a conical burr those are not the same thing.

The shape of each dial
Where the connectors bunch, that grinder’s dial is compressed and single steps count for more. Comparing the two shapes tells you which gives finer control, and where.

Option-O Lagom P100
Dialing in the DF64 Gen 2
A 64mm flat-burr single-dose grinder that became popular precisely because it puts commercial burrs at a domestic price. Espresso is the design centre; the burr choice you fit matters more to grind character than the dial does.
Dialing in the Lagom P100
A large flat-burr single-dose grinder aimed at people who want commercial burr size at home. As with the rest of the Lagom range, the burr set you fit changes the grind character more than the dial position does.
