La Marzocco Bean Hopper Lid for Pico – Original Spare Part
A lid seems like the most unassuming part of a grinder – until it stops closing properly. Then you suddenly notice how much this small piece of plastic actually holds onto: the aroma of the beans still waiting a few more days in the hopper.
On the Pico, the lid sits on top of the bean hopper and closes automatically when you fill it – a simple mechanism that becomes important exactly when it starts to fail. This original lid replaces only the closure piece, without having to swap the entire hopper.
A small part with a big effect
Oxygen is one of the main reasons roast aromas fade over time. A lid that no longer closes flush lets exactly that reach the beans more than necessary. It doesn't affect the taste of a single cup, but the development over days – that quiet change you only notice once the coffee feels less dense and less aromatic than a week before.
The swap is straightforward: remove the old lid, fit the new one – no tools, no modification to the bean hopper itself.

Who it's for
For every Pico owner whose lid alone is showing wear – a crack, a closure that no longer clicks properly into place, or simply a lost piece. If the rest of the bean hopper is still in good shape, this separate spare part means you don't need to replace more than necessary.
Goes well with
For daily dosing alongside the Pico, our coffee scales are a good fit – compact and reliable with the Normcore Collection, or with app connection and flow-rate display from the Acaia Collection. If you're ever thinking about swapping the Pico for a new grinder or machine, take a look at our La Marzocco collection and via our coffee machine advisor tool for the right overview.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to replace the whole bean hopper if only the lid is broken?
No, that's exactly why this spare part is sold separately. The lid can be replaced independently of the rest of the hopper.
Does the lid also fit other La Marzocco grinders?
This lid is made specifically for the Pico's bean hopper. Other models such as the Swift Mini use their own hopper with its own closure.
How do I know the lid needs replacing?
If it no longer closes flush, shows visible cracks, or the closing mechanism has loosened, it's worth replacing.
Can I see the product before buying?
Yes, in our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zürich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) you can experience the original spare part live.
How long does delivery take?
2–4 working days, throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein.
The Roastery Tip
A tightly closing lid preserves what the roast gives. For the large majority, our roastery recommends Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight – full-bodied, aromatic, dense. If you're after maximum body with no acidity at all, Very Nutty is the one for you. And for anyone wanting to discover a fruity experience: Wild Peach, lively and always a discovery. Our recommendation – one of many.
