La Marzocco Bean Hopper Complete for Pico – Original Spare Part
The lid closes on its own the moment the last bean has slipped through. A quiet, mechanical click that precedes every grind on the Pico – and that's exactly the moment where what ends up in the cup begins.
On a grinder this compact, the bean hopper is more than just a storage container. It keeps the beans away from light and excess air, feeds them evenly to the conical steel burrs, and closes automatically once it's been opened – small details that together keep the aromas exactly where they belong, until they're released again in the grounds.
Why the hopper deserves more attention than you'd think
A coffee bean holds over 800 compounds, and many of them are volatile – they change the moment they come into contact with oxygen. A bean hopper that closes reliably slows down exactly this process. On the Pico, that's not an extra feature but part of the core idea: a grinder that shows as much care in the smallest footprint as a much larger machine.
If the original bean hopper becomes leaky or brittle over time, or the closing mechanism loosens, what reaches the grinder changes quietly – before a single bean even reaches the burrs. Replacing it is therefore one of those repairs that shows up directly in the aroma.

Who it's for
For everyone with a Pico at home who'd rather give their grinder the original spare part than a generic solution. Whether the existing hopper has a crack, the closure no longer seals properly, or the years are simply starting to show – this bean hopper brings the grinder back to the state it was originally built for. No prior knowledge needed, no tools to hunt down first.
Goes well with
If you're already giving your Pico a new lease on life, our coffee scales are the fitting companion for precise dosing – from the compact Normcore Collection to the app-connected Acaia Collection with flow-rate display. And for anyone thinking about a new machine alongside the Pico, it's worth a look at our La Marzocco collection or an appointment with our coffee machine advisor tool.
Frequently asked questions
Does this bean hopper only fit the Pico?
Yes, this bean hopper is made for the La Marzocco Pico and matched to its burr geometry. Other La Marzocco grinders such as the Swift Mini use different hopper sizes.
How do I know the old hopper needs replacing?
It usually shows up first at the closure: the lid no longer closes fully, or the hopper no longer sits securely on the grinder. Fine cracks in the plastic, which let more light and air reach the beans, are also a sign.
Can I replace it myself?
Yes, the bean hopper comes off without tools and the new one clicks straight on – a simple step anyone can do without prior experience.
Can I see the product before buying?
Of course – in our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zürich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) you can experience the original spare part live before you decide.
How quickly will the bean hopper reach me?
Delivery takes place within 2–4 working days, throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein.
The Roastery Tip
Freshly ground starts with freshly stored. In a bean hopper that closes properly again, roast aromas from our Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight – dense, aromatic, full-bodied – come through noticeably clearer. If you prefer something especially full-bodied with no acidity at all, Very Nutty is your choice. And for anyone curious about a fruity experience: Wild Peach is our discovery for in between. That's our recommendation from the roastery – one of many.
