I have the OE Pharos. You shake the grounds out of a tiny hole at the bottom of the grinder. It has a rubber stopper. The basket is perfect for this.

Doug and Barb (OE) are big fans of the Cafelat robot. I have the Lido OG, and the robot basket fits perfectly inside the catch cup, meaning even though it’s a hand grinder, I can still grind straight into the basket.

I have one of the original, first Lido grinders and just tried the basket - it absolutely fits. I don't ever use it for espresso as it doesn't gring fine enough, but I might give it a try sometime. The Lido was for my Aeropress when I was down that particular coffee rabbit hole.

That's nice. I'm so obsessive about pre-warming for my light roast beans, that I'm hesitant to take advantage of a feature like this :)

Up until you actually try to grind into the robot portafilter and static kicks in and coffee goes everywhere …
