Bodum Bistro Blade Coffee Grinder, Black, 150W, 11 cups

Blade Coffee Grinder, 150 W

The Bodum Bistro Blade Coffee Grinder uses a stainless steel blade driven by a 150 watt motor to process whole beans from coarse to fine. It produces enough ground coffee for up to 11 cups and can also handle spices, herbs, nuts and grains. A transparent lid lets you monitor the grind consistency while the push-button control offers pulse or continuous operation. The compact black unit includes integrated cord storage in its base for tidy countertop placement.

Check power supply and counter space

Verify that a standard mains outlet is available near the intended location, as the grinder draws 150 watts during operation. Ensure the work surface can accommodate the unit's footprint of 3.63 by 3.75 inches and a height of 6.63 inches. The safety interlock requires the lid to be locked before the blade will start, so confirm the lid mechanism moves freely. No special electrical circuit or dedicated breaker is indicated by the supplied data.

Thermals noise and power draw

The 150 watt motor runs only while the button is pressed, so energy use is limited to the few seconds needed for each grind cycle. Blade grinders typically produce a noticeable high-pitched whir during operation, which stops immediately when the button is released. The housing remains cool to the touch under normal intermittent use. No active cooling fan is present, so noise is confined to the motor and blade assembly.
