Ask any coffee connoisseur and they’ll tell you that in order for coffee beans to develop their full flavor profile, they must be ground right before coming in contact with hot water. The burr grinder is continuously adjustable – twisting the upper bean container determines how finely ground the beans will be. 12 settings from coarse to fine, you can deliver the ideal grind for any brewing method. The Bistro coffee grinder comes with a borosilicate glass container to catch the grounds. The glass catcher is inherently static-free, reducing the amount of overall static and ‘jumping’ coffee grounds. This and the tight silicone lid make for an excellent, no-spill coffee grinder.

BEWARE! Plastic gears between motor & burr I will say that I loved the grinder while it worked. Consistent grinds, and the glass container was less static-y than some others I’ve used with plastic containers.After about 14 months (not even being used every day, maybe 5-6 grinds a week), one of the plastic drive gears broke. See my picture above. It started making a horrible noise, then bits of the gear fell out on to my counter.Bodum does not sell replacement parts, so in the trash it goes. I tried emailing…

All drive gears are plastic when they should be metal,(preferably high quality metal !), especially for an appliance that costs over $100. Operated for 10 seconds per day x 610 days equates to ONLY 1.69 total hours of use. Corporate greed strikes again.
READ THIS BEFORE PURCHASE Bodum generally makes good products so the grinder probably works fine, however….Amazon has copy- pasted the product details from the more expensive model into this one so it is wildly inaccurate. The Collection container is plastic. It’s triton which is high grade plastic, scratch resistant, but it will probably still have the static electricity issues associated with burr grinders. There is NO timer function. It is totally manual on-off. So if you keep your beans in the hopper you…
