My previous Bodum Bistro bought used many years ago was wearing out. Bought a new one online. It arrived the next day. Bodum very kindly refunded me the first purchase discount without fuss even though I fouled up the voucher claim. The machine is good quality, effective and durable. Show details
Works great but design is flawed – I’ve had my grinder for a few years and only use it rarely for grinding spices. It works really well and I can’t fault it’s grinding ability. However I have always looked after it extremely well (cleaning it after every use, keeping it in the original box in a cool cupboard and only grinding ‘soft spices’ which is does very well) but it has… Read more · 1
recently developed hairline cracks all around the clear lid (which to be fair, dosnt effect it’s use as they are internal and haven’t come through to either side and the plastic it still smooth to touch on both sides). It has also become very sticky and tacky on the outside black Rubber (I presume?) casing, causing every bit of spice dust to stick to and and making it impossible to clean the outside of it. Even finger prints stick into it like Tar and it’s pretty gross to touch.

I would suggest people always read the instruction book of anything they purchase because often it is the user who is doing something really wrong, or they are not using their common sense. If I went by some of the reviews, I read on this product, I can see others may not buy it. I just want to right a wrong.
