Avantco BCG3 3 lb. Bulk Coffee Grinder – 110V

Product Overview & Highlights

The Avantco BCG3 is a heavy-duty commercial coffee grinder designed for high volume use in cafés, restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, or retail coffee operations. It can hold up to 3 lb (≈1.36 kg) of beans in its hopper and is built with robust materials to offer reliable performance.

Key features include:

• Hardened steel burrs: The unit uses 84 mm flat steel burrs, which are durable and produce consistent particle sizes.

• Stepless grind adjustment: You can dial in any grind fineness between coarse (for e.g. French press) and Turkish fine, thanks to the stepless adjustment.

• Nine preset ranges: The grinder shows 9 labeled regions (e.g. Turkish, Espresso, Drip, French Press) to guide you in selecting approximate ranges.

• Top-load hopper with powder chute: Beans load from above, and the grinder can dispense grounds directly into a bag or container via the chute.

• Powder shaker / “shaker” mechanism: This helps dislodge stray fines in the grinding chamber so you get more complete output.

• Removable housing: The body cover can be removed easily to allow for internal cleaning and maintenance.

• Footprint & form: The grinder is compact enough to sit on a counter, yet tall (27″) to accommodate its bean hopper.

Pros & Considerations (User Feedback Summary)

Strengths:

• Many users appreciate its prompt shipping and straightforward setup and find it “operating wonderfully.”

• It’s suitable for medium to high demand environments thanks to a large hopper and commercial design.

Challenges / cautions:

• Some users report the grinder is relatively slow, especially for larger batch jobs, e.g. it may take over 2 minutes to grind 6 oz of beans.

• There are occasional reports of chute clogging, especially if the internal “chute unlatch / lever” is not used properly.

• Replacement parts (such as burrs or internal components) may be needed over time, especially in heavier-use environments.
