@klarinetta I heard about Solis Scala but never had a chance to use it since you can't buy it in US some reason. Yes you will have some static with glass which is the case with Bodum Bistro but it's easy to clean. Here;s always plus and minus of everything. I do appreciate your comments Klarinetta. This will help customers to make right decisions.

@aromacup Coffee should only be ground only seconds before brewing. I have a Solis Scala grinder(still sold in Europe but used to be sold in USA as the Starbucks Barista and is step below Baratza Mestro Plus that costs 130$) that is priced around 90-100$ similar to this Bodum grinder and it does much better job with much more consistent grind and although it has plastic box for the ground rather than glass it does have way far less static than I saw here.

@klarinetta Great points. Just want to clarify. This grinder not designed for Hi-End espresso machines. Personally I do use this Grinder for French Press and it does decent job so I would disagree about cheap blade grinder.

Keep in mind this Grinder designed for single use. For example to grind coffee for couple days in advance since it's so easy to use.

@klarinetta Ok. The espresso grind here would work for espresso machine with a pressurized basket. It does not go fine enough or evenly enough for espresso machines such as Rancilio Silvia,Rocket,Nuova Simonelli or any other high end home machines.

The french press grind was just terrible with half beans in there and something you get with a cheap blade grinder. If I were to recommend I would say the cheapest you can go is Baratza Maestro Plus grinder for around 130$

The grind consistency does not seem to be really great. I saw too many bigger chunks in there.

@gabeslover Thanks. Yes it's great grinder. I have probably 15 different coffee machines plus French presses, Moka pot, percolator and etc. and I rotate them all the time since I like to brew different coffee. Bistro grinder works great for me. I'm able to grind a little so I can use it once and then next day I grind coffee for something else.
