Say goodbye to the usual retention when single dosing, and instead get much closer to your exact dose every time*. This flexible silicone bellows fits in between your machine's stock hopper and stock lid and transforms it into a blower, allowing you to achieve 0.0g - 0.2g retention on every grind*. 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
  • 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:

    • Encore
    • Encore ESP

    And is also compatible with:

    • Virtuoso
    • Virtuoso+
    • Sette 30
    • Sette 270
    • Sette 270Wi
    • Vario+
    • Vario W+
    • Vario
    • Vario W
    • Forte AP
    • Forte BG

     

    [Additional Notes]

    The bellows will add an additional 3.0cm (1 3/16in) 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.

     

    [*Disclaimers]

    • The finest grind range (0-20) may decrease bellows effectiveness due to restricted air flow. Adjust to a coarser range (20+) while pumping bellows to fully clear retention.
    • 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
    • Some Baratza hoppers are slightly thinner, which may cause the bellows to fit loosely around it. In this case, add a little bit of tape around the rim to increase its thickness before installing bellows.

    Great second-generation update

    This is the second generation of INTROVERT's bellows for the Baratza grinder using molded silicon in place of flexible 3D printing material. The first generation worked well however the second generation is even better! Easier to pump, easier to wash, and puffs the last few grounds through the grinding assembly neatly into the container. Highly recommended.

    Simple, elegant solution

    The silicone is well-finished and fits perfectly on my Baratza Encore hopper. It feels like an original part. Now I just need to figure out how to reduce the static retention in the hopper...!

    Very good

    I got it as a replacement for a previous purchase. Andrew was very nice and helpful in the process. The product is definitely worth it!

    Works Beautifully on my Virtuoso +

    So easy to install and works great. Before I was banging the top of my grinder...now a few pumps of the bellows gets the remaining grinds out. Highly recommended!
