Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder
The Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder with adjustable grind is our premier coffee grinder.
Our conical burr crushes beans as opposed to slicing them (with your typical blade grinder); ensuring consistency, while preserving the beans intrinsic flavor and aroma.
This 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 static-free borosilicate glass container with rubberized grip to catch and safely transfer the grounds while preventing 'jumping' coffee grounds.

Fully Adjustable Settings
Push button, pre-set timer allows users to grind the exact amount of coffee needed, keeping beans fresh and preventing waste.
Adjustable grind allows users to go from Espresso to French Press with ease.
Key Features
Lid For Hopper
Multi-function Lid will keep beans fresh and provides built-in measuring guide.
Line up the size and type of your brew, and your ideal grind setting and time will ensure the perfect grind, every time.
Conical Burr
The conical stainless steel burr grinder provides a consistent grind with no sharpening required.
Coffee Catcher
The catcher is made of anti-static borosilicate glass so the fine coffee grounds dont cling to it.
Silicon Band
The silicone band around the grinder body prevents slipping and allows for a firm grip.

Product description
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. This is where the bistro electric burr coffee grinder comes in and becomes part of the coffee making ritual. The Bistro is continuously adjustable - twisting the upper bean container determines how finely ground the beans will be. With over 14 settings from coarse to fine, you can deliver the ideal grind for any brewing method. But there's more to it than that. Most coffee grinders use plastic containers to receive the ground coffee but plastic and ground coffee don't go together well. The powder gets statically charged and spills all over the place. The new Bistro 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/nylon lid make for an excellent, no-spill coffee grinder. The borosilicate glass container comes with a silicone band to make it slip-proof, an especially important feature when touched with wet hands. The Bistro is made from borosilicate glass, steel, plastic, rubber and silicone and comes in black, orange, red, green, and white. Material : Stainless steel, plastic, borosilicate glass, rubber, silicone

Consistent grinds, reliable machine

- Reviewed in Canada on May 28, 2016Verified PurchaseSo far this has exceeded my expectations. The use of a glass jar reduces the static significantly. I used to have to clean us static "spray" about every second or third day. With this one not even once a week. As others have noted it is noisy - but I've never used one that wasn't and this is no worse than any other.
The whole thing is very nicely designed. The lid for the hopper and the ground coffee catcher are well thought out and fit well. Exit for the ground beans into the catcher is vertical so there is no 90 degree angle, that most other medium cost grinders have, for grinds to get caught up in. The timer is well placed and easy to set. Performance is very consistent - far more so than previous grinders I have owned. With this one, once I found the time and grind settings I needed it became just a question of pushing the button each day - very consistent. If I have a tiny complaint it is that for a full jug of coffee I have to grind twice because the timer can't be set for a long enough time to do it all in one go. Luckily it still fits in the catch jar and pressing the start button twice isn't exactly arduous.
Recommended.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 4, 2017Verified PurchaseI bought this as a present to myself from my wife and I was itching to use it. Now that I've been using it for quite a while I'm happy to write a review!
Pros:
Great grind for french press, drip machines, and espresso machines (I've used it for all of these)
Very adjustable
Very stylish
Cons:
It's not easy to get the beans out before they're ground
As soon as I got this burr coffee grinder I noticed a huge difference in flavour from the beans, The bladed grinders ruin the beans but this grinder keeps the flavour perfectly intact. I use this machine to grind my morning french press, and then I switch it for my afternoon espresso. Both of these settings are perfect on the machine. I don't like the fact that you have to turn the whole bean container to change the settings but that's not a big deal.
Now, here's the problem. If I put too much of my standard bean in the grinder I need to get it out after for my espresso beans. The first time, without thinking, I took the container off. That was a big mistake, the beans spilled everywhere. The second time I took the lid off and turned the whole machine upside down. Then I discovered that you have to turn it at different angles to get the beans to all come out from under the plastic at the bottom. This is not a deal breaker, and I love it despite this, but now I measure my beans more carefully and just put the extras in a small container.
Also, not everyone reads the instructions. It says in the instructions that the machine should only be used for 20 SECONDS AT A TIME. Any longer and the heat will damage the motor. If you want this machine to last, you need to take care of it. After the 20 seconds you need to give it 5 minutes to cool down
- Reviewed in Canada on March 28, 2017Verified PurchasePros: Paid $90.00 for it back in the day
Public Safety Notice: This thing is loud. How loud, you ask? Loud enough that our neighbor across the street always knew when there was a fresh pot ready to go, and would surreptitiously invite himself over for some caffeinated goodness at the most inconvenient of times.
Cons: Grinds 20 seconds at a time - and only does well on the coarsest setting. To grind enough coffee for a decent, full pot of coffee, you have the hit the button some 15-20 times. This has become tiresome, and as a result, I'm finally going to throw this poorly designed specimen of automated incompetence in the rubbish bin, where it can continue to inflict its poor performance on other bits of trash. Bodum should appear before the European Court Of Human Rights to answer for its crimes against all lovers of coffee because of this cruelly devised, time-wasting mechanical bean torturing device.
Important notice: Page 7 of the English user manual states: Warning: "...In order to prevent the motor from overheating, do not grind more than 1 complete unit (1x20 seconds) in succession. After wait 5 Min. to let the motor cool down befor restart...' It comes as no surprise that a company that is OK with spelling errors and egregious grammar would engineer this thing so poorly that you have to wait 5 minutes between grind cycles. What does that mean in the real world? If you want to grind enough coffee for a full pot and not void your warranty, YOU WILL SPEND A TOTAL OF 1.25 HOURS GRINDING COFFEE. NO JOKE. SERIOUSLY.
Final Thoughts: You would be better served by going to a hardware store and buying an iron mallet instead, and spend your 1.25 hours bashing individual beans into submission for your morning 'cup-of-Joe.' Not only will it do a better job than the above mentioned device, but you will feel much better having worked out whatever emotional issues are plaguing you that day.

5.0 out of 5 stars The winner at this price point Still delighted after 12 years Design compromises
Verified PurchaseThe 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 wideI 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 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 this 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. 鶹 only allows one review for repeat purchases.)

1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer beware: great grinder BUT can't replace fragile/cheap components, not anti-static
Verified PurchaseI 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 鶹, 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.
