Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder, Orange
Customer Review: Amazing value and surprisingly orange
Summary: 5 Stars
While this grinder falls at the more affordable end of the conical burr grinder spectrum, it yields outstanding results in terms of grinds, functionality, and style--oh it's very orange too!
When I first opened the box from Amazon, I was surprised with how big the Bodum box was, as well as the quality of the packaging. It was stylish, functional, and original. It all boded well for what's inside. The grinder too was both larger and more stylish than I imagined. I suppose neither should be surprising, but I was pleased nonetheless. The orange does make the grinder appear as if it was on some Danish chain gang of kitchen appliances, but I do like it (it complements my blue FrancisFrancis! X5 Espresso Machine, Orange).
After unboxing, I plugged it in, dialed in in at the finest setting, and alas my 15 bar espresso machine could barely pump the water through, so I moved it over one notch in a subsequent pull before settling between the first two notches. The results are quite pleasing in flavor and especially crema, rivaling pods in both regards. Previous Bodum grinder have been easily modified to fine tune espresso performance, and with the burs so easily accessible, I imagine this one also has that potential. Thus far, I don't see any need to go that route. A timer allows you to select the amount of grounds to be produced, and 20 seconds yields enough for two double shot pulls.
The above functionality alone warrants the price and the space on my counter, but the subtle details of this particular unit are particular distinguishing. The glass jar for the grounds truly does defeat the static which plagues many other units, and it makes for far easier use. The compact nature allows for it to fit easily under all cabinets and uses relatively little counter space. The burrs themselves create limited noise in use and no longer riles up my dogs. The hopper seals better than most to keep the beans fresh, and lastly it all looks quite nice.
Are there better grinders? Yes, but not at the price.
Description of Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder, Orange
Ask any coffee connoisseur and they'll tell you that in order for coffee beans to develop their full flavor profile, they must be ground right before coming in contact with hot water. This is where the bistro electric burr coffee grinder comes in and becomes part of the coffee making ritual. The Bistro is continuously adjustable - twisting the upper bean container determines how finely ground the beans will be. With over 14 settings from coarse to fine, you can deliver the ideal grind for any brewing method. But there's more to it than that. Most coffee grinders use plastic containers to receive the ground coffee but plastic and ground coffee don't go together well. The powder gets statically charged and spills all over the place. The new Bistro comes with a borosilicate glass container to catch the grounds. The glass catcher is inherently static-free, reducing the amount of overall static and "jumping" coffee grounds. This and the tight silicone/nylon lid make for an excellent, no-spill coffee grinder. The borosilicate glass container comes with a silicone band to make it slip-proof, an especially important feature when touched with wet hands. The Bistro is made from borosilicate glass, steel, plastic, rubber and silicone and comes in black, orange, red, green, and white.Grinders & Roasters
