## Description

The BISTRO Electric Burr Grinder crushes the coffee beans between conical burrs rather than chopping them, preventing the coffee from losing its characteristic taste and aroma. By twisting the upper bean container, the variable grind settings can be adjusted from a coarse French press setting all the way down to a fine ground for espresso, depending on the brewing method or personal taste. The BISTRO Electric Burr Grinder comes with an attractive, static-free borosilicate glass PRESSO container that conveniently sits within the base of the unit to collect ground coffee during use and also features a non-slip silicone band for secure handling.The BISTRO Electric Burr Grinder is made from borosilicate glass, steel, plastic, rubber and silicone.

Review: Pleasantly Surprised - I have been using the grinder twice a day for about a week. I wanted to comment on some of the reviews I have read. I have been using a blade grinder for convenience for quite a few years. I owned an Italian hand burr grinder that mounted on a table or on the wall. It was messy and to keep the wife happy I stopped using it. I liked the rhythm, working a little for my brew (it required some force to turn in a vertically oriented circle, but not intolerable). I lost it in a move and, upon reading up trying to improve the taste of my coffee, I discovered that the burrs are highly recommended. So after a friend accidentally damaged the lid on my whirlybird, I decided to invest again in a burr grinder. Not having the expendable income to purchase a high-end grinder, I decided to try the Bodum, with some reservations. I am so far very satisfied. I don't know where the complaints about grinds flying around are coming from. I roast my own beans, drinking both decaf and regular in many varieties, and there is virtually no mess, I have never considered wiping anything up. I grind between drip and espresso on the machine, about three-fourths of the way toward the finest grind. Perhaps the problem with others comes from the coarseness of the grind, or maybe just different production quality. The glass vessel into which the grinds fall seems solid and fits snugly in my hand. The grind seems exceptionally even. There is no comparison whatsoever with my last grinder. The quality of the coffee has improved greatly, I am again tasting flavors I remembered from the days of the old hand grinder. I was skeptical but I imagine the extraction is so even that you maximize the flavor. I am loving it so far. The 20 second issue is problematic. At the above setting, I can grind four coffee scoops of beans (one tablespoon each) in 20 seconds. But sometimes I grind five and I run to a stop with beans left. I have decided to wait maybe fifteen seconds and then hit the start button for another six to eight seconds and then stop it to grind the remaining beans. It is mostly just finishing up bits and pieces at that point. I will see how this affects the motor. If the motor lasts, then this is an awesome deal. I have not tried the espresso grind, don't have a machine. But the 3/4 fineness is very fine. There is a video online from a Seattle store that demos the machine. I would imagine that a better quality machine would cost three times as much. The lack of a mess is such a big advantage, and the flavor is unquestionably better. If this is in your price range, I highly recommend you try it. Update: After nearly 18 months the grinder is working as well as ever. I make coffee twice daily, no sign of slowing down, no strange noises. I am very happy with this purchase! Update #2: After four years of grinding, making coffee at least twice a day, this Bodum is still going strong. No problems whatsoever, no mess on the counter, still an even grind. I have no issues, it works like new. If I exceed the 20 seconds when making a larger pot I always let the grinder rest for a minute or so to give the motor a break. Since I purchased this grinder I have had to replace both my automatic drip coffeemaker and my coffee roaster. As expenditures go in this throw-away society, this has been an excellent investment, Gary
Review: Buyer beware: great grinder BUT can't replace fragile/cheap components, not anti-static - I have used Bodum products and been happy with them for years, but this one has let me down. I was a little disappointed in it for a very small reason but could live with it. What has made me turn away from this product is that Bodum's customer support has been unresponsive when I needed them, and I've had to replace this perfectly good $100 grinder for a ridiculous reason. I bought the Bodum grinder about 15 months ago to replace my old Cuisinart DBM-8P1, which was a gift from my in-laws. The motor on the Cuisinart gave out after about four years, and I wanted to upgrade to a Bodum model, because Bodum makes quality products and I love my coffee! The grinder itself works great. It gives a perfectly calibrated and consistent grind across all levels, from espresso file to French Press course. All the issues I've had with this grinder involve the grind cup (the glass "beaker" that catches grounds coming out of the burr heads). The grind cup is ABSOLUTELY NOT anti-static as advertised. My grind method is to grind about 2-3 days worth of beans at a time, then store them in an airtight container. The first cup full of grinds would have a small amount of static, the second had a little more, but by the third there would be a mess of wasted coffee all over the counter. The only remedy for this I found was to let the coffee grounds rest in the cup at least 5 minutes before pouring them out. Grinding enough coffee for my airtight container ended up a couple of hours as I would do other tasks while waiting for the static to dissipate. This was a hassle, but I could live with it. The nail-in-the-coffin for this grinder was when, after 15 months of use, the cup broke in the sink as I was cleaning it the other day. No cuts, no blood, no harm; no foul, but now I needed a new cup. Based on the price of French Press replacement carafes, I expected a cup for this grinder should cost approximately $10. Searching desertcart, however, I was unable to find a replacement cup. I went to the Bodum website; no orderable replacement was listed there, either. Searching the internet at-large: still no replacement to be found. I reached out to Bodum's customer support via email asking for assistance. I immediately received a "we have your request and will respond" automated message, but after a week this is the only response I've received. I just ordered another Cuisinart grinder; the same DBM-8P1 model as I had before, for about $60. Sorry Bodum: I can't buy another $100 grinder to replace a $10 glass cup.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Had anyone compared this to the Capresso Infinity? Which one do you prefer?**
A: I use this for French Press along with the Bodum Columbia 8 cup pot.  I do NOT store beans in the large, clear plastic hopper.  Each time I make French Press, I measure (my preference) 51 grams of beans for one pot, using the Bodum setting for French Press.  I set it for 15 seconds and it grinds the 51 grams of beans in exactly 12 seconds.  The extra 3 seconds allows the grinder to clear.   For what its worth, when grinding 53 grams, it takes the full 15.   I prefer the Bodum glass container vs plastic Capresso,  the glass is definitely less static and looks better than plastic after cleaning.    I prefer the coarse grind of the Bodum, for me, it is more consistent.  Overall, if using for drip coffee, I prefer the Capresso medium grind - but not by much.    Bodum has a shut off feature should there be anything other than a coffee bean that gets into the grinder.  Capresso grinder does not have this feature and is problematic should that happen.  For oilier beans, neither is great and it is a must for both of these to be cleaned each time after a grinding of oily beans!  I actually prefer the Bodum matte plastic body over the Capresso shiny plastic, and don't feel the heavy Capresso zinc model adds any significant value for the upcharge.

**Q: If I break the glass receiver can I replace it?**
A: The replacement part from Bodum is https://www.bodum.com/us/en/01-10903-01-32-component but it has been out of stock for 3 months.  I emailed Bodum to complain because  NOTHING takes three months to manufacturer.  They said it will be in stock in June.  To reply to another poster there IS NO LIST you can get on.  Bodums solution?  Check their web site daily and hope that "out of stock" changes to "in stock" and the hundreds of other people doing the same don't turn "in stock" back to "out of stock" before you know it.  What a CRAPPY company to do business with.

**Q: My grinder stopped grinding this morning shook cleaned out no luck?**
A: From reading reviews on grinders, it seems they all have problems.  I've owned Capresso grinders, if they fail within the one year, Capresso will repair or replace.  When Capresso failed after the year, there was a fee to return and get refurb.  I have not yet had this grinder long enough to encounter a problem.   I just felt it was time to try a different brand.  I was hesitant to purchase the more expensive Baratza Encore, because as much as it gets some rave reviews, it also has reviews that report the same problems.   This unit will stop if a stone is in the beans.  I measure my 51 grams for each use, and only put that many in the hopper at one time.  I also look at them to check for any stones, and I purchase a quality bean, but I still check each time.  I also clean it once a week, I think that is important.   I don't try to grind more than the suggested amount noted in the instructions which clearly identifies it shuts down.   Good luck everyone...these grinders all seem to be problematic in the end.

**Q: Does it have a setting for how many cups to grind?**
A: On the lid is a diagram showing general conversions for seconds & cups depending on what grind you want.  We grind with the setting just right of the middle and for one 20 second grind and one 5 second grind for 12 cups.  Note, empty it after the first 20 second grind or the grind cup may overflow.  You'll need to experiment with amount of coffee ground and grind setting for your taste.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The winner at this price point — Still delighted after 12 years — Design compromises
*by F***N on December 29, 2024*

The lowdown — Nothing will beat this elegant conical burr grinder on grind uniformity and range versus price. But it is not suited for grinding lots of coffee at once. The central distinction among coffee grinders is blades versus burrs. Blades are the simplest but grind unevenly at best. Burrs achieve more uniform particle size but, a more complex mechanism, are also more expensive to manufacture. This Bodum strikes a clever medium. Its grind is highly uniform and its range wide—I enjoy French press and espresso so coarse to very fine. How did Bodum achieve this feat? They put their money in the most important part: its beautifully made conical burr. They kept the rest as simple as possible. For instance, on high-end grinders you dial in the grind size with a knob. Bodum's approach is to twist the hopper. 'Does away with a whole bunch of parts. They also slowed down the mechanism. There are trade-offs. For instance, this machine is not for you if you like to grind lots of coffee all at once. Why? It does not grind fast and on top of that the manual specifies letting the motor cool down five minutes between batches. This is a design compromise where manufacturing cost is traded against throughput. You are good to go if you do a single batch just before brewing to achieve best aroma and flavor. One longest batch of 20 seconds delivers 40gr coarse French press or 20gr fine espresso. That's 1.4 and 0.7 oz. The French press amount is good for roughly four cups of coffee depending on how you like it. The espresso clumps nicely but is below a standard one-ounce shot. Ever the engineer, I stripped this Bodum down to have a closer look at its design. Surprisingly sophisticated. The reduction gears are nylon. This is fine given the limited forces in play but inhibits static from flowing away. This will start showing if you grind several batches in a row. This burr is driven through a neat safety clutch, a helpful feature in case of jams. The pictures show the mechanism and the control board. The clutch plate in my legacy unit is metal but I got from online stories it is now made of nylon. This concession to manufacturing costs will not affect normal use but does make the mechanism less robust. If it matters to you, and as another reviewer pointed out, Bodum borosilicate glass replacement beakers are impossible to find, except the occasional used one on eBay, so do be careful. Hints on use — tap the grinder on both sides simultaneously a few times before taking out the beaker. This knocks out any ground coffee left behind. (And splash a few water droplets on your beans before grinding to reduce static buildup.) The hopper tends to rotate itself to a coarser setting owing to torque effects so check ever so often. And remember to clean the burr area regularly because it can clog especially if your coffee is oily. Note — As another reviewer pointed out, some older Bistros developed a sticky, gummed-up surface over time. Mine, now 12 years old, did as well. Using kitchen cleaner and a sponge I was able to remove this surface layer altogether, getting down to the hard ABS underneath. The unit in my pictures is the old one now cleaned up. It appears that Bodum has solved this anecdotal challenge because I no longer see mention of it. Summing up — Bodum Bistro is aesthetically pleasing, engineered well, has a compact footprint, and punches above its weight. You will enjoy it for a long time if you stay within its design limits. If your style is to grind lots of coffee at once to store or are a devoted espresso drinker then look at a higher price point. (Note — this is the second one I bought, now as gift. I had to take down my original 2014 review I have refined here. Amazon only allows one review for repeat purchases.)
