Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder
This Beast right here is what we have for when we break out the French Press.
Using a French Press means that you want a course blend, with uniform large particles, so that the dust sized particles will not go through your filter and into your coffee creating an undrinkable sludge or simply accumulate and block up your filter.
Blade Grinders will create loads of dust sized particles, which is why for a French Press, you want a burr grinder.
Burr Grinders have little wheels that spin at high speed to crush the beans to a consistent size. The one drawback to burr grinders is that they can easily burn the coffee grinds if it is run for too long. That is why this grinder has an automatic timer that guts out after 20 seconds, creating a consistent, non-bunt blend every time.
We have had this for a while in lovely Lime Green and I absolutely adore it. The One drawback is that after it grinds a blend, it locks you out of grinding another blend for a few minutes. But for home use, that has never really been an issue for us.
This is a solidly built machine (The first thing my partner did when unwrapping it from the box was to drop it to the kitchen floor) with the following technical spec's:
