Made from a food-safe and antistatic black ABS blend, the surface of the Bean Feeder is smooth and easy to wipe clean.

Poor Design, Cheap, Overpriced

For what it is, this should be cheaper. It often stalls and requires you to then manage the beans, especially, when they are a darker roast. Disappointed in Weber, not EightOunce.

That’s it

I was expecting more from Weber Workshops … just 4 peace’s of plastic .. why not include with grinders … it seems to work okay … but definitely not up to the build quality of this company

Does the job

This accessory feels a little flimsy/cheap for a Weber product... But it does its job well enough on the Key 1 grinder. I have had really good results slowly feeding beans before, and now it's less work. Beans can get stuck with this sometimes, but I'm usually watching anyways, so it's not a big deal for me. Anyone who buys this is probably already very involved in their coffee-making workflow ;)
If you have a Weber grinder, just go for it! It's worth it just to experiment with.

Slight improvement but creates new problems

This helped with my biggest irritation with the grinder - having the grinder stall at low RPM. The feeder slows the rate of beans entering the grinder so it no longer stalls at low RPM. It also helps with the messy popcoring of coffee fragments. So two big positives. However, I now need to manually push beans that get stuck on the outer ring, and then also need to lift the ring and manually push in some beans that get stuck in the feeder. So it’s a trade-off of less stalling and a tidier countertop for more baby-sitting during the grinding process.

Not up to Weber’s standards

I love the idea. Actually setting it up hasn’t been that great.

It isn't obvious that it’s installed correctly. It slows the bean rate, but the grinder can lock easily on espresso with light roasts. A few beans can linger behind in the feeder, and never reach the grinder.
