Overview
The Bodum Bistro Burr Grinder offers conical burr grinding in Bodum signature colorful design. The 40mm steel burrs and 14 settings cover the range from espresso to French press, with a glass catch container for static-free collection. The Bodum design aesthetic makes it an attractive countertop addition, and the grinding performance is competitive with other budget conical burr grinders. Bodum brand heritage in coffee equipment adds credibility, and the Bistro Burr is a solid choice for French press users who want consistent grinding from a trusted coffee brand.
The Bodum Bistro Burr Grinder features a 40mm conical burr set, crafted from steel. The burrs spin at 450 RPM, a deliberately slow speed that minimizes heat buildup and preserves coffee aromatics. Grind retention is approximately 2.5g, typical for a hopper-fed workflow.
At $100, the Bodum Bistro Burr Grinder is aimed at home baristas seeking a solid grinder without a premium price tag. With a 220g hopper, it's designed for a traditional hopper-fed workflow. The conical burr design is known for producing a slightly bimodal grind distribution, which many enjoy for its body and complexity in espresso.
The Bodum Bistro Burr Grinder is weighing 1.8 kg, manufactured in Switzerland, powered by a 100W motor. Its footprint measures 140 x 170 x 295 mm (W×D×H).
