The Bodum BISTRO Burr Grinder crushes beans between stainless steel conical burrs rather than slicing them which preserves bean’s intrinsic flavour and aroma and provides a consistent grind; no sharpening required.

I have owned one of these for 6 or 7 years. Two large cups a day at least, a morning and an afternoon brew. Nice, even grinds are produced and clearly differentiated grind sizes result among the French press, drip, and espresso settings. The glass container fits snugly under the grinder and has a nice grip for safety around the outside. This is one of the best purchases I have ever made (in a very long lifetime!) in terms of value. There is no sign of this giving out. Works like it did the day I bought it! I have never tried the more expensive models but I can't imagine there could be much improvement except for perhaps the time constraints recommended to protect the motor from overheating. Since I generally brew smaller amounts it has never been a problem.

I bought a Bodum Bistro grinder three years ago. It worked well for a few months, then suddenly became very noisy. Bodum sent me a replacement burr, top only. Made no difference in the noise, though it was still doing a decent job grinding coffee. I stopped using it when I found some spare parts for my old Starbucks Barista grinder, which works just fine and is much quieter.
