Optional Hopper Seal Combo

If you're a single doser, this bellows upgrade can help you achieve 0.0g to 0.2g retention on every grind*. This flexible silicone bellows fits in between your machine's stock hopper and stock lid and transforms it into a blower, so you can say goodbye to the usual varying retention of 0.2 - 0.5 grams of coffee. The silicone version is completely designed in-house and is superior in flexibility, durability, and air tightness, allowing for a more effective clearing of retention per pump compared to our previous 3D printed version (discontinued August 2024).


[News]

The evolved silicone version of this bellows is now available! Pre-orders will be shipped first, starting August 26th, 2024. If you've purchased the 3D printed version previously, be sure to use the coupon that was included in your shipment for upgrading to the silicone version, valid until August 1st, 2025. 

 

[Design Features]

Simplicity and maximum effectiveness are our design goals, and both are carefully infused in our bellows' design.

  • The bellows complements the grinder's original design rather than replacing it and upsetting its visual balance
  • Super easy installation takes less than a minute
  • No tools necessary for installation
  • No warranty-voiding modifications needed
  • Small manual included with assembly instructions and best use tips
  • For the technical users, it displaces approximately 185mL of air per pump
  • Bellows works even if you prefer to store beans in the hopper (though less effectively)
  • Odour-free
  • Special surface treatment for reduced attraction to dust
  • Logo is hidden on the inner surface rather than around the outside


[Compatibility]

This bellows is compatible with:

  • Breville Smart Grinder Pro (BCG820)
  • Breville Smart Grinder (BCG800)
  • Sage Smart Grinder Pro (BCG820)
  • Sage Smart Grinder (BCG800)

And is also compatible with:

  • Breville Barista Touch (BES880)
  • Breville Barista Pro (BES878)
  • Breville Dose Control Pro (BCG600)
  • Breville Dose Control (BCG400)
  • Sage Barista Express (BES870)
  • Sage Barista Touch (SES880)
  • Sage Barista Pro (BES878)

    [Additional Notes]

    The bellows will add an additional 2.7cm (1-1/16in) to the height of your hopper after installation, but you need additional space above it. Measuring from the top of your lid without the bellows, you need about 9-13cm (3-1/2 ~ 5-1/8in) of clearance space to operate it comfortably.

     

    [Optional Grinder Seal]

    Add a seal to help you prevent buildup of beans and grounds in the groove around the outer burr. If you've used your Breville / Sage grinder for a while, you'll notice that some coffee beans eventually get lost there, and can be especially frustrating for single dosing. Installing this 3D printed, flexible seal will prevent any major buildup and greatly decrease your overall long-term retention of beans. Include this seal in this bellows order for a combo discount.

    Note: Seal colour is randomly selected and may not match your bellows.

    [*Disclaimer]

    • Grinding after changing grind size or using darker roasts/oilier beans may still cause some retention.
    • Achieve the best results with lighter roasted beans and at a consistent grind size setting.
    • The coarser you grind, the more likely you'll achieve zero retention
    • The more beans you store in the hopper, the less effective the bellows may be due to restricted airflow
    • Does not include the grinder nor the stock hopper

    Excellent!

    It really performs as described.
    The only criticism I have is that I wish the top lip where the lid goes was a bit more hard. Otherwise it’s fantastic!

    Perfect attachment for the Breville if you are single dosing!

    The latest, silicone release of the INTROVERT bellows for the Breville Sage grinder is a big improvement on the previous 3D-printed version. The old-design bellows was already a great addition to the grinder, easily attaching to the hopper and significantly reducing retained grounds and the annoying last few dribbles after you grind. But the material from the 3D printed version was a bit stiff and it looked and felt less than professional. The silicone version blends seamlessly with the design of the grinder so that you'd never know it didn't come stock. I also no longer worry about wearing the material out with excessive use. The silicone has very smooth action and takes a very light touch, so there's no more splattering grounds all over the place. Its a really clever addition to the grinder and I'm very happy I upgraded to it.
