Bodum Burr Grinder compared to others.
I have the Bodum Bistro grinder. Its a reasonably good grinder. I got mine a few years back, and it was far less expensive than the Baratza Encore, so I went with it for cost reasons. Today, I'd buy the Encore.
With all of that said, here are my complaints: The glass grind hopper has SERIOUS static issues, so i end up losing about 1 gram of every 30g of my grinds to being stuck in there. The grind is reasonably good, but somewhat inconsistent. The Encore doesnt have the grind consistency issues at the fineness I usually use, based on my testing with a friend's grinder.
In closing, is the Bodum worth buying? Sure, but if you can afford the difference between the Bodum and an Encore, my recommendation is to get the Encore.
