Acaia Bean Hopper – bean hoppers from 250 g to 2 kg for Orion and Orbit
A handful of beans hasn't been enough for you for a long time. You fill the hopper to the top, and as you grind, batch after batch flows through without you topping up in between. If a coffee isn't used up yet, the hopper gate neatly sets it aside and the next one can go in.
A hopper series that grows with you – from a compact container to a large supply.
What makes the Bean Hopper series special
The Acaia Bean Hopper series comes in four sizes: 250 g, 520 g, 750 g and 2 kg. With the increased capacity, every hopper size is suited to batch dosing and grinding larger quantities – you choose the size that fits your routine and your space.
The 750 g and 2 kg versions also have a hopper gate. It lets you shut off the flow and swap beans even when the hopper isn't empty yet – handy when you switch between coffees. Whether the compact or the large version suits you better is your call; that's just our view, one of many.

Who the Bean Hopper series is for
The hoppers are for anyone who grinds or doses larger quantities in one go – whether at the counter with the Orion or at home on the Orbit. If you want to stay compact, go for the small size; if you'd like to keep a supply and switch between coffees, choose the large one with the hopper gate. Every way to coffee is welcome here.

A shut-off on the 750 g and 2 kg versions. It stops the flow so you can swap beans even when the hopper isn't empty yet.

Roastery tip
If you grind a lot in one go, it's still worth keeping in mind that ground coffee loses aroma faster than whole beans – which is why we prefer to fill the large hoppers with whole beans and grind fresh. For a dense, sweet espresso we like to reach for Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight. If you like it full and round without any acidity, stick with Very Nutty; for something fruity, Wild Peach goes into the grinder. That's our recommendation, one of many, and any bean you enjoy is the right one.
