No one hurt Made Jun 7, 2024, sent to the company Jun 12, 2024, published by CPSC Jun 27, 2024
The product, in the report: the product is a hopper used to temporarily store whole coffee beans before they enter the grinder in preparation of a home-made espresso drink.
I believe there is a design defect with Baratza Coffee Hopper (model S012) intended for use with their Sette 270Wi coffee grinder. Inside the hopper there is a small plastic cover over a second cover that is designed to allow the user to open and close the hopper for removal from the grinder. The plastic cover is attached to the larger hopper via four half-inch plastic tabs. The issue is that the plastic tabs appear to become fatigued very easily, break off and problematically fall into the grinding mechanism and ultimately brewed alongside the coffee, potentially introducing plastic shards or particles for ingestion by the consumer. I have now personally experienced this issue with two identical hoppers over the course of 3 years of ownership of this particular device. I’ve reached out to the company and they don’t seem to take the issue seriously. I have discarded the first defective hopper but have saved the pieces from latest issue for submission or review as needed.
Noting that no direct injuries have occurred but there is a small risk and also, with the awareness of microplastics on the rise, I wanted to share the concern with appropriate authorities for consideration.
