Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder, White
Customer Review: Great little machine
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently upgraded my coffee maker (more on that below) and decided to upgrade my coffee storage (more on that below, too) and grinder. I had been using a sturdy Braun blade grinder, which was fine. But despite a mention on Cooks Illustrated that the kind of grinder used in their testing of coffee makers made no difference, I opted to try a burr grinder. I hate to disagree with CI, but I find it does make a difference, and this little grinder performs really well and is a pleasure to see perched on the kitchen counter.
The Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder (I have the white--and it is white, not ivory) is very simple to use, produces a perfectly even grind, and minimizes static. I typically make 6-7 cups of drip coffee, and was quickly able to determine a good coarseness and amount of time (12 sec) to produce the perfect amount to dump into my coffee maker each morning. I have the top hopper loaded with beans (which stay fresh because the lid fits snugly) and all I have to do in the morning is press the starter button, and voila. Clean up is easy (and unnecessary day-to-day, but I brush it out when I switch beans).
For storage of waiting beans or pre-ground coffee (I received about 4 lbs. of 6 different kinds of beans this Christmas, which probably inspired my upgrades), I've been using these great Bodum glass jars: http://www.zappos.com/bodum-presso-68-oz-storage-jar-gray . The 68 oz. will hold more than a pound of beans or ground coffee, has a nice snug-fitting glass lid with a rubber ring, and it is lovely. And matches the grinder :) .
As for the coffee maker, I cannot say enough about the Technivorm Moccamaster (and [...]) [...]. Can a coffee maker really be worth $300? Yes it can (especially with the extras that Roastmasters includes). I look at it this way: is it worth $1 a day for the next 300 days to have really great coffee at home? Yes. I had been using (for 20 years) a quite nice Krups coffee maker, but the liquid produced by the Technivorm is an entirely different, smoother and yet more robust, liquid than what comes out of any other coffee maker. The coffee maker is a minimalist's joy (on/off, that's it) and the thermal carafe is an essential.
Way more info than you're looking for, I'm sure. But I'll end by saying that the Bodum grinder is great, and worthy of my Technivorm. High praise indeed.
Description of Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder, White
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
