Q: can this be used to grind flaxseed or coffee only?
submitted by eva976 - 3 years ago
A: Yes, flaxseed (and chia seed) grinds fine and evenly in this blade grinder. 1/4 cup takes about 10 seconds. Flaxseed and chia have a lot of fat so some the ground seeds will cling to the inside of the grinder, which will have to be wiped out after each use. I've been grinding both seeds daily for over a year with no signs of blade damage.

submitted byur stoopid - 3 years agoA: The BISTRO Electric Coffee Grinder is specifically designed for grinding coffee beans only. We do not recommend using it for other items, as this may dull the blades or cause the grinder to malfunction.

Q: Is this grinder good for Turkish coffee which is a very fine grind?
submitted by Nino - 4 months ago
A: Thank you for your question! While the BISTRO Electric Blade Grinder can achieve a fairly fine grind, it may take longer or multiple grinding cycles, as blade grinders chop rather than crush the beans. For the ultra-fine consistency needed for Turkish coffee, we recommend one of our conical burr grinders, which use stainless steel burrs for a more precise and consistent grind. We hope this helps!

Q: What is the voltage for this coffee bean grinder? Do I need an adapter or a convertor for Europe?
submitted by Linda - 4 months ago
A: Thank you for your question! The nominal voltage for the USA BISTRO Electric Blade Coffee Grinder is 120V. If you plan to use this grinder in Europe or another region with a different voltage standard, you will need a power adapter and possibly a voltage converter to ensure safe operation. Alternatively, we offer European versions of our products designed for the appropriate voltage. Hope this helps!

Q: How loud is this grinder?
submitted by kayjaybee - 7 months ago
A: Thank you for your question! The noise level of the BISTRO Conical Burr Grinder varies depending on the type and volume of beans being ground. On average, it operates at about 50 dBA with a standard amount of medium roast beans, making it relatively quiet and unlikely to disrupt your morning peace. Hope this helps!

Q: How long is the cord on this grinder?
submitted by s - 10 months ago
A: The power cord on the BISTRO Blade Grinder is approximately 30 inches (75 centimeters) long, excluding the plug.
submitted byBodum - 10 months agoBrand expert
Q: Can you remove the metal cup for washing?
submitted by Alyse - 1 year ago
A: No, the grinding cup is not removable. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth to carefully wipe out the cup, being mindful of the blade. Allow the cup to dry completely before the next use by leaving off the cover for the fastest drying.

Q: Does this grind coffee fine enough for espresso?
submitted by Someguyinsanjose - 2 years ago
A: You can grind coffee beans to your preferred level by holding the ON button for as long as you want the product to grind. You will be able to see how fine the grounds are through the clear top to help make sure that you can get an espresso ready grind.
submitted byBodum - 2 years agoBrand expert

submitted by hyd12 - 2 years ago
A: No. This device requires the US standard of 120v.

You can only grind a small amount at a time. And then usually, I have to grind it 3 or 4x over because it leaves behind big chunks of coffee bean. I would not recommend.

We’re sorry to hear that you’re not completely satisfied with your BISTRO Electric Blade Coffee Grinder. This model is designed to grind up to 60 grams of coffee at a time - an ideal amount for any of our 8-cup french press or pour over coffee makers. However, for finer grinds (such as those used for espresso or Turkish coffee), blade grinders may not provide consistent results, as they chop rather than crush the beans, leading to uneven particle sizes. For more precise and consistent fine grinding, we recommend considering one of our conical burr grinders. Thank you for your review!

Appearently, the on/off function is just for show because after FOUR uses the only way to turn it off is to unplug it. This model from BODUM is a real dud. Don't buy.

We’re sorry to hear you’re having issues with your BISTRO Electric Coffee Grinder. It sounds like your unit may be defective, as the power button is only designed to operate when the lid is securely in place and the button is pressed. For safety reasons, please do not attempt to use the grinder without the lid on. We encourage you to reach out to Target Customer Service for assistance with a replacement, and if you’d like to share your feedback directly, feel free to contact us at support@bodum.com. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

The pin that's supposed to go down in the connection for the top and the bottom does not always engage, it's very tedious and you end up pressing it 3 4 5 times before it'll start to grind again.

Not bad for the price, but the lid is fragile, and the trigger wears down, makes activating the grinder difficult. Mine detached, and it's hard to find replacement parts. The mechanism can be activated with a small pin, so I just do that

Besides the somewhat I inconsistent grinding (which I could live with), the grinds fly out the side of the grinder where the red button is located. This makes for a messy situation and isn’t going to work if you use it multiple times a week like I do.

Unevenly grinds beans. You'll end up with whole beans mixed with powder and everything in between.
1 reply from Bodum team - 10 months ago
We’re sorry to hear that you aren’t completely satisfied with your Electric Blade Coffee Grinder. For optimal performance, please make sure the grind container isn’t overfilled, as this can prevent proper circulation of the beans around the blade. We also recommend using short pulses instead of holding the button down continuously, which helps avoid beans simply spinning around without grinding effectively. Some variation in grind size is natural with blade grinders. If you'd like to discuss your experience further, please reach out to our customer service team at support@bodum.com. Thank you for your feedback!

POOR DESIGN: deep narrow cup doesn't allow beans to move as they're ground. POOR COMPONENTS: high rpm low torque motor is so fast beans just sit above the blade. POOR QUALITY: It broke after about a week of intermittent use due to the poor connections between the lid and unit itself.

NeedCoffee - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
I have used this for maybe 6 months every morning. It was never great but it worked ok. Then one morning recently it just stopped grinding mid-grind. I notice a coffee bean wedged under the blade and thought maybe it caused the motor to overheat. But the thing should be designed to chop up coffee beans? I let it sit to cool down but it still won't work. Spend a few more dollars for something that will last. IMO.
1 reply from Bodum team - 20 days ago
We’re sorry to hear that your BISTRO Electric Coffee Grinder stopped working. We recommend thoroughly cleaning the grinding cup after each use, as buildup around the blades can cause resistance and strain the motor. Be sure not to overfill the grinder or operate it continuously for long stretches, as this can also lead to motor fatigue. If you’d like to share more about your experience, please feel free to reach out to our customer service team at support@bodum.com. Thank you for your review!
