Matthew, Would you mind sharing a report of your experience with the Lido 2 so far? My wife is thinking it makes sense as our home grinder, in large part because the reports I've read say it is much smoother and easier to operate, and less fiddly than the Hario et al. (though at 3 pounds and 12" tall x 3" wide I won't be taking it on the bike -- I'm thinking the Hario mini with rubber bands so it fits directly into an Aeropress for that).
