Bodum Antigua 5670 / 5671 Electric Burr Grinder

Pros: Price, design, conical burr grinder that delivers consistent grinds
Cons: Espresso aficionados may want a more expensive machine

For your daily grind - Blade vs. Burr If you are looking for a coffee grinder you may have noticed you have a choice – blade or burr grinders. You may have wondered about the difference between these types of grinders and if it ...

Pros: Attractive design. Great job of grinding coffee. Vastly superior to cheap blade grinders.
Cons: Control is awkward and balky. Hard to grind precise amount of coffee.

I got this to replace a long series of Braun burr grinders (KMM30) that we have used for many years. The Bodum Antigua looks great and has a good solid "feel" to it. It certainly does a fine job of, well, grinding coffee beans, whether fine or medium/co ...

Pros: Gives a professionally even ground
Cons: Measuring system is not reliable

Nothing matches the taste and aroma of fresh ground coffee. Most of us who grind our own coffee beans at home use those little Braun blade grinders. They are affordable and last forever, but you never get an even grind -- its part fine powder, part...

Pros: Large bean hopper, true conical burrs, slow speed grinding.
Cons: Large size, will not grind fine enough for top espresso makers.

I've used many burr grinders over the years but this is the best designed one yet at under a hundred dollars ($60-$80). I like the low static slow grind speed and large stainless steel conical burrs that are easily and quickly cleaned. It grinds evenly...

Pros: Cooling looking, less messy than other grinders
Cons: timer doesn't work for a full pot

I purchased this grinder because I liked the style- it looks really cool and this unit is heavy and felt like it was heavy duty.

This machine uses a conical burr grind with a 2 stage gear driving it from the motor for a slower, cooler grind....

Pros: -similar to grinders in coffeehouses -relatively inexpensive -grinds fine enough for espresso!
Cons: -noisy -limited durability (plastic coffee holders, top and bottom) -short shaft into timer knob

The Bodum Antigua grinder is an adequate "transitional" product between home versions of grinders and the professional models found in coffeehouses. It grinds fine enough for my espresso machine--the specific reason I bought it. It did not grind coarse...

Pros: Grind amount setting. Available in black
Cons: BIG. Messy.

I recently purchased this grinder for my sister for Christmas. I also recently got a DeLonghi for my birthday. I prefer the DeLonghi.

Heres Why:

SIZE

This is a big grinder(8 by 10.5 in). If you have limited...

Pros: cheap
Cons: messy, grind is too course

Coffee grinder was relatively inexpensive (under $100.00), but I found it messy. I was told it was "anti-static", yet coffee spilled everywhere when I opened plastic container, and also the grind was way too course for my espresso machine (a Gaggia). I...

Pros: You can store beans inside between grinds
Cons: Doesn't grind fine enough for pump expresso machines

This machine looks quite substantial and professional on the countertop. The upper container, which holds the beans, is transparent, and lends a "coffee house" look to the apparatus. Kind of like the machines you see the "baristas" using. The ones...

Pros: big hopper, looks good, no jams
Cons: static charge issues, clean-up every time.

It holds more beans than the Braun and I think it looks better (especially in black), but keep the s ...

Pros: Large Capacity, timer.
Cons: Does not wear well

When I first purchased the Bodum grinder, I was very pleased with the quality of the grind. Unfortunately, the machine does not wear well. I have now had the machine for about 1 year (grinding at least once a day), and now have to set the timer to 12 4...

Pros: Good value, quality construction--a real winner!
Cons: A VERY small con is the dial mechanism, but not a deal-breaker.

I purchased this specifically to grind beans for my french press before I discovered my "magic coffee maker" (the Bodum vacuum coffee maker). The grind is adjustable of course, so it works for other types of coffee makers as well. The hopper is very ...

Pros: Large hopper, great grinder and looks good.
Cons: The cup selector is a timer and is not always accurate.

I am asked all the time where did you get it? I have been using a french press for many years and I get a reliable grind from this machine every time. The Bodum is a convenient and good looking grinder.

Pros: May make good French press grind.
Cons: Useless for espresso.

A good looking machine that will only grind to a fine setting of very course sand. Useless for making espresso and related drinks.

An inquiry to the company got no response.
