I've used a number of blade grinders in the past, and they all had two thing in common--tons of mess, and uneven grinding. I'm currently using a french press for a couple months (drip machine packed for moving), and have used a french press for years, especially when the office coffee was standard issue terrible. Bar none, every blade grinder has defeated the press, with varying degrees of literally sludge at the bottom of the cup. Well, no more. The Bodum beauty burrs out a nearly perfect consistency grind. I set it for expresso, I get baby powder. I set it for press, I get press grade grinds. At the bottom of my cup I still do get a minor, and I mean MINOR, amount of "silt" but this is literally the last few sips. More importantly, those last few sips are NOT gritty like every other grinder I've used will do. So, you may see a swirl of powdered grind at your last 4 sips, but you won't taste or worse feel it. For french press users, your perfect cup is now only limited by the quality of your beans. Operation: I have found it works best with a hopper full of beans. The timer and grind setting are most consistent then, as it feeds evenly. I know some people are worried about the 20 second every 5 minutes limits on the motor. Well, this isn't a commercial unit, it's under $100. Expectation management, people. For my morning 20 oz coffee, 7 seconds is plenty of time to produce 3 scoops of grind. 20 seconds should be fine for your average 10 cup pot, and if you are grinding expresso for 20 seconds, you are making a cup that will cause your heart to explode. Again, this is great for home use, not a restaurant. Mess: The glass receiver and the soft rubber top keep it contained. I've gone through a lot of coffee getting my perfect cup down, and the counter top does not look like a disaster area. After the grind finishes and before I remove the glass receptacle, I usually tap the machine a couple time out of habit, but honestly haven't seen any noticeable grind settling. The other benefit of the glass receiver is when you dump it out, pretty much all the grind goes into your press or filter. No static electricity, no old coffee waiting for your next grind. Just on cleanup alone, this thing is awesome. Noise: This guy is reasonably quiet. It is grinding beans, so it will be noisy, but unlike all blade grinders I've used, this is a lower frequency noise and you can carry on a conversation with it running. Overall it is the quietest grinder I've used. Versatility: I've used this on several settings, and not just for coffee. I took the old trick of running some white rice through the burrs (after a thorough brush cleaning) to get all the coffee out, then used it to convert coarsely ground flax seed to finely ground flax seed. This took a while, as the course ground seed was already pretty fine, and flax tends to clump, so it fed slowly. But, once done, the fine flax seed was very well and evenly ground. I plan to use it on whole flax seed in the future, and expect it will feed much better. Overall, loving this machine and looking for excuses to use it!

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 Amazon, 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.

I'd been using the same blade grinder for years and had never really been happy with the results. Coffee was always inconsistent and unless the planets were aligned, usually tasted like bleh. So I got used to going to Starbucks every morning for my brew. I finally decided to take the plunge on a burr grinder, and after reading the reviews and narrowing it down to a couple of units, I chose the Bodum burr grinder. And talk about a jump in performance, going from a $20 blade grinder to the Bodum grinder is like going from a Ford Festiva to a BMW. Here's what I like: - The convenience of the sealed container on top for the beans. I can dump most of a 1 pound bag of beans in there and not have to scoop them into the grinder every time I want to brew coffee like I did with the blade grinder. -There's no real mess. With the blade grinder, it was impossible to put beans in the container, grind, take off the lid, dump grinds into a container, then repeat 4 or 5 times, without spilling grinds everywhere. With the Bodum burr grinder, there is hardly any mess. I might notice some after a week of use, but it's pretty small. The beans are in a sealed container, and whenever I want to brew coffee, I just push the button and coffee grinds right into the glass container. The container lid effectively holds the grinds until I'm ready to pour them into the coffee pot. - It's simple. You've got 2 adjustments you can make: the grind size and the timer. Once you get a few pots brewed you'll figure out pretty quickly what settings work for you. And the settings are mechanical (not electrical) so even if you unplug the machine, the settings will remain where they are so you dont have to change them. Ever. (unless you want to) - And most importantly: Taste. So I didnt think a burr grinder would make THAT big a difference in the way coffee tasted, which is why I put off getting one for so long. But man, it makes a world of difference. Coffee just tastes much noticeably better. There's no real other way of saying it. I can even downgrade to cheaper beans now because they taste good too. The one negative that you'll read about in a lot of people's comments is the 5 minute wait time the instructions tell you to give before grinding a 2nd helping of beans. With only a 20 second grinding timer, I can see why this would upset people. 20 seconds, in my opinion, is not long enough to grind enough beans to brew a full pot of strong coffee. And nobody wants to grind for 20 seconds, wait 5 minutes, then grind again. That totally destroys the convenience of the product. However, this is not a problem for me, as I am the only coffee drinker in the household. I have yet to need to go anywhere near the 20 second time limit, so this is not an issue for me. There are several reviews that offer advice on dealing with this issue though, my favorite being "just brew a half pot at a time." It's still not perfectly convenient, but if I need a full pot, that's what I'll do. That said, if you constantly brew full pots of coffee, then this grinder might not be for you. So that's it. If you can deal with the 5 minute wait in between grinds, then this grinder is for you. I have nothing bad to say about it at all. Two caveats: (1) I don't own an espresso machine, so I can't comment on the espresso grinding ability of the grinder (I only grind for brewed coffee). From most reviews though, it seems to do espresso grind pretty good. (2)The only other grinder I've ever owned was that $20 blade grinder, so I have nothing else to compare the Bodum to. Keep that in mind. While I might consider this a $50,000 BMW, I'm sure other reviewers on here have owned the 6-figure "lamborghinis", "bugattis", and "Bentleys" of the bean grinder world. It's all relative.

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

This is a great little burr grinder. I have owned it and used it every day, and sometimes more than once a day, for around four months, so I cannot yet talk about its durability. I am not a purist who will insist on a burr grinder over a blade grinder, and I have not owned or used another burr grinder, so I can't compare this one with others. I like it for the following reasons. 1. It grinds well at the finest setting, when I use it with my cappuccino maker De'Longhi EC155 15 BAR Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker. It also grinds well for our drip maker, which we use every morning, and it produces a nice coarse grind that I have used with my French press. 2. It produces grounds of a uniform coarseness--or fineness--which is the reason you want a burr grinder, if you want one. I confess I don't really notice a difference in taste. 3. The grind is easy to adjust, and you can adjust the length of time the machine will grind. Hypothetically, you could produce the volume of ground coffee you wanted for the amount you were brewing: X seconds at Y coarseness for Z cups of coffee. I do not do that. See below. 4. I think the one true advantage of a burr grinder over a blade grinder is that you can't do anything else while grinding with a blade grinder, but you can push the button on the burr grinder and go do something else, like put water in your coffee maker. That's a slim advantage, I suppose. Purists will disagree and say that the flavor of coffee ground with a burr grinder is superior. I will not contest that claim but I cannot confirm it either. Cons 1. The grinder has a narrow profile and so is not as stable as I would like. This is the only reason I rated it four stars rather than five. Notes 1. The machine is designed for you to fill the hopper with coffee and to measure out your grounds by the number of seconds you run the grinder. On the hypothesis that light will leach out flavor from beans sitting in the clear plastic hopper, I've developed my own system for measuring out how much coffee I want to grind every time I make coffee, as I did with all my old blade grinders. So my hopper sits empty. I don't really know if this produces better coffee or not. 2. Some reviewers have commented on the mess that this grinder makes: difficult cleanup because lots of grounds cling to the glass receptacle due to static electricity. I have found that this varies depending on the coffee I use. I use the same coffee beans for all of my coffee needs, but when I have experimented with coffees from other companies some have produced this messy result. I stick with my old brand, not because of that, but because I have not found a coffee I like better. Addendum 11/06/2019: The grinder is still working but making an awful sound that has been increasing over the past year or so. I assume I am hearing a slipping gear, perhaps due to a broken cog. The noise is accompanied by a longer grinding time. It's still doing the job, but I will probably be purchasing another soon. It has lasted about 6 years, which I suppose isn't bad for a machine with plastic gears.

My experience with the Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder (Black) makes quite a saga. First I ordered the machine in red, thinking the cheerful, vibrant color shown on my screen would enliven the kitchen. When the grinder arrived, I was disappointed to find how dull and dreary the color is "in the flesh." So I phoned Amazon Customer Service (which is dependably cooperative), and they agreed to accept the return of the machine without penalty. Thereupon I ordered the black, which, like the red before it, arrived fast and in perfect condition. I'm satisfied that the discrepancy between the red on line and the red in the actual machine is merely a matter of physics, with no intent to deceive; and my wife and I love the black -- so no "star deduction" so far. Then we got into grinding. The Bodum emits the reassuring sound of precision. It is the sound that well-built, sturdy, meticulously-crafted machines nearly always make, and it gives you the expectation of consistency and longevity. The consistency is immediately apparent in the uniformity of the grounds, but we'll have to see about the longevity over time. We have an automatic drip machine, so the only grind setting we use is medium, as indicated by the middle icon on the machine. Our old grinder (also a burr machine, but not conical) always produced a by-product of fine powder in addition to the medium-sized particles. With the Bodum there is none of this undesirable powder. Consequently, I can say after a week or so of use, that the flavor of our brewed coffee is noticeably improved. To summarize, the particle size of the grounds is wonderfully consistent, and this is reflected in the taste of the brew. Now to address a flaw that many other reviewers have mentioned. The grinder only runs for 20 seconds at a time. The instruction booklet tenders a caveat: allow 5 minutes before running the machine through another grinding cycle. I consider that a defect in a machine of this quality. It should be possible for the motor to run for, say, 45 seconds without overheating or sustaining damage. I drink two big mugs of coffee, and the beans necessary for that much java cannot be ground by the Bodum in 20 seconds. However, I don't stand and stare resentfully at the grinder for the next 5 minutes. I have lots of other things to do to fill in that time -- such as toasting and buttering a bagel; or frothing milk for the coffee; or mixing batter for pancakes or waffles; or beating and cooking eggs for a mini-omelet -- and so on. I'm in my 8th decade of life, I no longer go to an office or shop, and I cheerfully admit to being spoiled as hell. If I needed to bolt down my coffee and race out the door (as I once did), that 5 minutes between grindings would be a deal-breaker for me. But since that's not the case, I'm inclined not to deduct any stars for the 20-second limitation either. Call me sucker, but the integrity of the build, the consistency of the grind, and the improved flavor of the brewed coffee have me hooked. But everyone will have to decide for him/herself how important this is. I consider the Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder very good value for money. NINE MONTHS LATER -- I think it's time to reconsider my original review in just one respect. I'm getting impatient waiting 5 minutes before running the grinder a second time. I now find this requirement an annoying restriction imposed by the manufacturer which should be corrected in subsequent models. Consequently, I have downgraded my rating to four stars.

I have owned this product for 2 days now and it looks like a solid piece of equipment. I have ground coffee for both French Press and Espresso (used in Aeropress), so both sides of the spectrum and the grind size seems to be accurate and consistent. The burr grinder is made of solid metal and not plastic and the grounds jar is glass. My real problem is the manual says not to run the grinder more than the maximum time of 20 seconds, without letting the grinder rest 5 minutes. Having read the reviews of this complaint and those dismissing it I decided to take a chance and purchase this. What I think the reviews lacked when talking about this shortcoming is actual examples of what it can grind in that 20 seconds. On the finest setting with 2 scoops of beans and the timer set to its max of 20 seconds, the grinder only ground 3/4 of those 2 scoops. So you have to wait 5 minutes to finish off the rest of the 2 scoops. On the maximum grind size setting with 4 scoops of coffee beans, it will just barely finish the grind, but there will be a few unground beans left in the burrs. So what does this mean for those that use a drip coffee setup? On the medium grind setting, it will not finish 4 scoops of coffee used to make 8 cups. So me personally, I will ignore the manufacture warning and simple start the grind process again to finish. When it breaks I will throw it away and buy something else. Lastly this thing is messy, there is always grounds left in the grinding chamber and you have to literally smack the grinder on the side quite a few times to clear it out before removing the jar. Even then grounds spill out all over the place. Having not owned an electric burr grinder before, I could not say if this is normal or not. So while I really like the grinder design, build quality and consistent grind, it fails to do what it needs to do for me, which is grind a reasonable amount of coffee in a reasonable amount of time. ***EDIT*** Grinder Makes the Coffee Burnt Tasting I purchased this grinder along with a French press as I had been using drip and an Aeropress along with a Cozyna Ceramic Burr Manual Coffee Grinder. Using the manual grinder, Aeropress and my own roasted beans, I made the most delicious cup of coffee. For the water I would use the drip coffee maker which put out water between 168 ~ 170 deg. I found that the coffee has tasted bitter and burnt since using the new grinder. I had been using the same beans freshly ground and to the same grind size as the manual. I was using a new variable temp kettle and tried the coffee @ 170, 195 and 205 deg with still the same results. The beans that I use made a very distinctly buttery smell when ground. Testing side by side the grinds out of the Bodum smelled burnt. I then tested the same coffee from my manual grinder and the Bodum in the Aeropress using water temp of 170 deg. The coffee out of the manual grinder / Aeropress tasted as it always has, fantastic. The coffee out of the Bodum tasted bitter and burnt. I am not sure why it tasted different, the only thing I can see being different is that the burrs on the Bodum are sharp steel and still blade like, using speed to grind the bean as much as its burrs, whereas the manual grinder are ceramic and dull using pressure to grind at a much slower RPM.

I bought this grinder because I wanted a burr grinder (for grind consistency), the price was right, and I needed it to fit under my cabinets. I returned it because it would only grind for about 2sec-5sec at a time (I did get one 13sec run) then would shut down and not restart till it cooled (taking many minutes or more). Basically it was unusable (and hopefully defective)! At the time (10/2012), Others were complaining about the short grind times so I think Bodum may have had an product issue. Since I see a lot more positive reviews here now maybe they fixed it (Although people still talk about the short grind time). My take is that Bodum built an underpowered unit which they knew would over heat easily. To keep users from burning it up they put in some kind of thermal protection. I think the 20sec time limit may not be enough to grind for a 10 cup drip. You may find that depending on your unit you may be grinding more then once. Having to walk away for 2-5minutes between grinds. (Note that finer grinds take longer and auto drip grid is already on the coarse side) Since I didn't have it long I still have a bunch of unknowns: coarse to fine settings (can it do french press to expresso?), grind consistency at each setting, cleaning (a stone, yes coffee sometimes has little stones in it, can jam the machine ... how do you get it out), if the motor is constantly stressed ... how long will it last My take is that this grinder may be more of a frustration then it's worth. If your price constrained and only grind for a few cups at a time the Bodum may work for you. Pro's: small, burr grinder, good looking Cons: underpowered, may have to grind several times (taking 10+ minutes or more), unknowns listed above. My rating if they fixed it to actually run for 20sec ... two stars ... (my defective unit gets 0 stars) P.S. I ended up with a Breville BCG800XL Smart Grinder. Costs two to three times as much (depending on sales and such), has a much bigger motor (I wouldn't call it oversized ... i.e. I think a even bigger one would not be bad). It does not fit under my cabinet but it does do a nice job of grinding (I'll try and review it soon).
