Bodum Bistro Electric Coffee Grinder Black

Just purchased this today and it’s so messy. I thought I was using it wrong but no. The lid is not designed to keep on the grounds so when you’re using it ans take the lid off, coffee grounds are all over.

The grinder is messy! When you remove the lid, there are coffee grinds everywhere, which is frustrating for daily use. As noted above, the bean grind is uneven. It isn't expensive, so I suppose you get what you pay for. Two months in, I am sufficiently annoyed to wrote a review and shop for something else.

For such a low and reasonable price, the quality is excellent. Grinds up coffee perfectly within 15 seconds. Cleanup is a little bit of a hassle since you can't wash the entire grinder but a quick wipe down is all it needs.

I love Bodum products, so I was super excited about this! However, after two uses the coffee grinder randomly quit working altogether. The blade did not spin and it just started to heat up.

Just broke after a year and I used it once a week.

Bought one of these 5 years ago and was excited to be able replace it for the same price. That is until I opened the box and realized this is far from the same product. The quality of the materials is noticeably lower and the metal dish that holds the beans immediately bent completely out of shape on the first use. My old one had no problems except a (presumably) burnt out motor after years of daily use. Avoid.

Worked well for an inexpensive grinder but stopped working after 2 months of normal use a few times a week.

It will be a happy day when I am finally able to return this terrible terrible grinder. That red tab you see is what turns on the grinder and it ends in a very small point that has to be perfectly inserted into the hole or the grinder wont turn on. That same hole that instantly fills with grounds. Whoever designed this, never had to use it. If they did, I bet they stopped designing things, because wow, what a terrible experience it was using this thing. I think Im going to need therapy now. :)

This grinder does not grind coffee beans evenly and it appears to be poorly built. I have the Cuisinart and it is a much better quality and performs noticeably better.

Love it. Good little grinder for a few cups.

Only worked for a week and stoped working, just randomly, coffee grinds fall out the bottom

It stopped working. I had it for a year but used it every couple months for 1 pound of beans and not even grind to fine i left them coarse for cold brew.

Worked fine for a few months and then stopped working suddenly. Would never buy anything from Bodum again - JUNK. Waste of money

Works great, it's small and quiet! My big fancy one is way to loud.

Grinds well but I wish it made a removable basket to easily scoop or pour the ground coffee out. Instead, I have to use a spoon to scoop the grounds out around the blades.

You have to shake it constantly for everything to grind, also the lid is not very tight when you put it on, coffee gets all around it and on the table… does the job in the end but I would get this one if i was to buy it again and I hate returning stuff and since I don’t use it often I’m keeping it

It broke after about 150 uses. Poor quality.

I love this kind of coffee grinder . the cords is long enough, it’s easy to clean, it’s very simple and reliable. This is my second one. My first one from years ago was starting to die so I got this on sale, and I am very pleased with it. .

I’m sorry but this was a huge waste of money. After about 3 uses there was coffee grounds falling out of this thing like crazy!! I tried to clean it but they didn’t stop. I kept using for maybe 3 more times and eventually it was starting to feel like it was overheating. I could feel all the coffee ground inside so I decided to unscrew it to see what was going on. TELL ME WHY IT LOOKED LIKE A HALF A CUP OF GROUNDS FELL OUT…. I was shook! The motor was COVERED in grounds. I just through the thing away, I am not going to open up the motor to clean it every time. You can’t take the plate out to clean either even after unscrewing without taking apart the whole thing. Not worth it, I am extremely disappointed, this is the first coffee grinder i’ve ever bought, now i’m lost.

9 months and the motor went out on mine. There is a two year warranty but I was expecting to get a little more life out of it
