I've owned a couple of these, at home and office, and I have to say I don't recommend it at all. The body is mostly hollow, and especially if you grind light-roast beans, a lot of the grinds drift up into the body itself. It's finicky to clean and the funnel is difficult to re-seat properly. And on one unit, the rubber-ish coating got really sticky and degraded over time. Bodum customer service is great, and sent me free replacement units at least once, but it's all just landfill fodder. Just get a Baratza Encore and be done with it.

I don't think so... it's just a better built machine. It's a simpler design, it's easier to clean , it's at least a couple of pounds heavier even though the footprint is much smaller. I don't do fine grinds at all, only medium/coarse for pour overs or French press.

Owned one since 2012 and used almost daily since then. Used for everything from espresso, Bialetti, mostly pour over with a Hario V60. Replaced the burr blade once in 7 years, made the world of a difference after a few years. Cleanup is an issue, static in the glass hopper, but I keep it all on a towel and change the towel once a week.

BradchuPut a drop of water in the beans before you grind and the static is gone. ;)
love my grinder and have been using it daily for 5 years with no issues!

$85 on Amazon with Prime. I've owned one and used daily since June 2016. Works fine for me Chemex.

Guys...it's a sub-$100 burr grinder. You want quality, you'll need to spend over $300 for a decent one..even more if you want uniformed espresso grind.
For press, drip, or even aeropress, this is an excellent entry level burr grinder that will make you realize what you're missing by still using preground or high speed blade grinders. I put one in the office because we were using pregrounds, people have been very happy with the grinder and the new taste it brings to the mid afternoon slump.
As far as how loud it is, it's not too bad. Your kitchen fan will make more noise than this at high speed.

RAES48You can always test this against expensive grinders by asking your local coffee shop to grind half the beans with their grinder and half with yours to compare. Then decide..
I have a cuisinart burr grinder at home and even at $300-400 that's not much better than this.

Have one for nearly 7 years and works permanently. Have no problem, however there are just couple of things that should be improved.
-It's too loud. I know, the grinders are mostly loud but there are also quiet ones out there.
-The grinding level marks are kinda misleading at first, but you find out your level of grain size after couple of grinding.
-There is nearly zero isolation on the top lid, so don't consider too store your coffee longer in the grinder.
Except all these "issues" (if you consider them as an issue) I've nothing to complain. Like it a lot and use it as long as it lasts and maybe buy another one lateron.

Own this one in the green color. Kid of a bummer they arent offering more of the colors that Bodum produces this range of small appliances in. (Personally wish I'd gone with orange or blue, the green isn't as cool anymore) It isn't the highest quality burr grinder out there. If you are grinding your morning coffee every day you might want to go for one of the more industrial spec models. But if like me you only grind coffee on weekends, this is a good solution.
Do have to mention that the fluff in Bodums marketing about the 'special borosilicate glass so coffee grounds dont stick to the walls of the jar' is utter BS. My sister is a professional designer that works with glass. She laughed out loud. Most glass is borosilicate. And their jar DOES leave grounds sticking to the sides.
Also need to point out that it is a very large grinder. The hopper on top takes up a considerable amount of room. Most places I've lived since I bought it there is a problem with clearance under kitchen cabinets.

Lots of reviews on Amazon about how the gears are plastic and broke after 12 to 24 months

How loud is it? I went to a hand-cranked grinder a few years ago because my electric burr grinder would wake up everyone in the house.

Joel47I've got one of these and yeah, it's loud. If I forget to grind my coffee before my kids go to bed I go out in the garage to do it so I don't wake them up.

Joel47It's been probably 8 years, since I last used one of the Bodums. Not as loud as a Baratza (which delivers a much better grind quality) and about on par with a Capresso Infinity (similar grind quality). At this level they are going to be loud but not as loud as those cheap 50 to 60 dollar "burr" grinders which are frequently called false burr grinders because of their awful burr design. To get quieter (but still not terribly quiet), you could look at the Breville Smart Pro. Otherwise, maybe get a hand grinder from Orphan Espresso or similar. Beyond that, it's big $$$ for the quiet grinders.

Does anyone know if this gets coffee grounds all over your countertop? I see mixed reviews on that. The cheap Krups burr grinder I have magically throws grounds everywhere but the base of the little container with some static force that defies physics. It is truly a disaster.
