Bodum Bistro Electric Blade Coffee Grinder, Gray

I enjoy a good cup of coffee, but I’m not a coffee connoisseur, just want to be clear about that. I had ordered some coffee and didn’t realize it was whole beans. When it arrived I decided I would buy a grinder if I could find one at a reasonable price. I found this Bodum grinder at a fantastic price. It grinds quickly and consistently and I am very pleased with the cup of coffee it helps to produce. One note, I did buy a coffee grinder cleaning brush and haven’t had to wipe or wash the grinder.

Talk about upgrading your coffee bean game! This grinder works like a charm, pulverizes those beans to smithereens, and seems like a very powerful, durable product so far. The coffee beans take on a homogenous powder like form which is crucial to our French press brew. I wouldn't expect any less from Bodum but this was just such a pleasant surprise. I absolutely love the texture of the surface (see photo) and the red button is so stylish. If you need a coffee upgrade, this is the item for you.

Not too loud, looks great. Holds the perfect amount, and grinds nicely from coarse to fine depending on grind time. Worth the price for how nice it looks. Fresh ground is just so much better also. My only gripe is coffee grinds work themselves in between the clear lid and the black grinder bowl and then fall out when you open it

I’ve been using this Bodum C-Mill coffee grinder for almost 2 weeks now, and it works great! The grinder is very deep, which is a fantastic design feature - when I open the lid, the coffee powder doesn’t spill out everywhere like with other grinders I’ve used. The stainless steel blade grinds consistently and efficiently. It’s easy to operate and gets the job done quickly. The build quality feels solid, and cleanup is straightforward. If you’re looking for a reliable electric grinder that actually keeps your coffee grounds contained, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommend!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Well, made nice little unit perfect for making fresh coffee. Works just as well to grind any other dry substances, but once you use coffee in it, there’s a chance of the coffee bean flavor transferring. Knowing this I bought two and I’m happy with both of them.

This is by far my favorite coffee grinder. My last one broke and I decided to try a different brand with a removable grinder cup... but it never got the beans ground fine enough for my liking, so I've purchased this new one. While the cup doesn't come out, it is easy to wipe with a damp cloth. Ours is dedicated to coffee so we have no issues with cross flavors. The cord stores in the bottom. If/When this one breaks, I'll buy another one. The last one I had for nearly two years and it was used at least daily. I suspect the cord was yanked from the wall instead of gently removed and that's why it started having issues.

Strong grinder motor with 150W of power. Activation / power switch is mildly finicky; it needs to line up perfectly when pressing. Clear housing on top is too loose. It has a slight gap around the circumference, which allows grinder contents to leak out periodically. And, my biggest criticism is of the shaft seal / bowl seal. The clear, silicone-looking seal that is supposed to keep grinder contents from leaking out the base of the bowl has poor fitment. I first noticed the issue when grinder contents were leaking from the base of the grinder, where the power cord is located. Yes, let that observation sink in for a moment. As you grind, the fine particles leak past the blade shaft and the base of the bowl, enter the motor chamber, coat the motor and electrical components with dust (ground coffee, spices, or whatever you've processed in it), and accumulate at the base prior to leaking out of the power cord opening. It's either a fantastic failure of design or a brilliant example of poor quality control. Maybe both! Bottom line, despite the impressively powerful motor, I cannot recommend this grinder.

Happy with this for sure I love coffee- but I’m no expert. I’m sure there are way better ones out there for that kind of person, but for an average daily coffee drinker; the grind quality is great, it’s fast simple to use, and I got a great few cups of coffee from it so far. Would absolutely recommend for someone who is starting out with whole bean (the freshness is there!)
