Bodum C-Mill Electric Coffee Grinder: Best Rated for Coffee Beans & Spices, Stainless Steel Blade, 1-Year Warranty

A: No, generally blade grinders can't consistently get fine enough to make espresso. The answer referencing the moka pot is talking about a very specific type of coffee that's not really espresso. This grinder would also produce a lot of larger pieces which if used for making espresso would make it much weaker than it should be.

A: Yes, the C-Mill Electric Coffee Grinder can grind coffee to a fine size suitable for stovetop espresso makers and moka pots However, as a blade grinder, it may produce some variation in grind size. For a more consistent grind, especially for high-end espresso machines, we recommend our Bodum Electric Conical Burr Coffee Grinders, which are designed for precision and performance.

A: Thank you for your question! No parts of the C-MILL Electric Coffee Grinder can be submerged in dish water. To clean the C-MILL, simply use a soft, dry cloth to wipe out the interior, and a lightly damp cloth to wipe down the exterior.

A: Thank you for your question! The C-MILL Electric Coffee Grinder is ideal for grinding to coarser consistencies, as it uses blades to chop beans and spices, instead of burrs to crush them. We don’t recommend using the C-MILL if you are aiming for a fine grind like you would get from a typical salt and pepper hand-grinder. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out directly to our customer service team at support@bodum.com. Hope this helps!

A: Thank you for your question! Yes, the C-MILL Electric Coffee Grinder will absolutely work on flax seeds as well as coffee beans. To control the grind size, use shorter pulses for a coarser result, and more prolonged grinding for finer consistencies. Hope this helps!

A: Thanks for your question! It’s not uncommon for electric appliances to emit a faint metallic or ozone-like smell while operating - this typically fades over time. However, if the smell is more noxious, especially if it resembles burning plastic, it may indicate that the motor is overheating. This can happen if the grinder is overworked (e.g., running for more than 60 seconds at a time or filled beyond the 45g max capacity), or in some cases, it could point to a product defect. Please feel free to reach out to our customer service team at support@bodum.com with more details about the odor you are experiencing, so we can better understand and investigate what’s happening with your unit. Hope this helps!

A: The cord is wrapped around the base. Just keep unwrapping it counterclockwise.

A: Yes. For a coarse grind suitable for a French press simply stop pressing the power button when you see the grounds reach the consistency you want. The transparent lid makes it easy to see the beans while grinding and achieve the desired coarseness of your beans.
