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 when what ends up in the cup begins.
On a grinder this compact, the bean hopper is more than a storage vessel. It keeps the beans away from light and excess air, feeds them evenly to the conical steel burrs, and closes itself automatically once it's been opened – small details that together make sure the aromas stay 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 add-on feature but part of the basic idea: a grinder that shows as much care in a tiny footprint as a much larger machine.
If the original bean hopper becomes leaky or brittle over time, or the closing mechanism loosens, what arrives at the burrs quietly changes – before a single bean even reaches them. 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 wants to treat their grinder to the original spare part instead of a generic solution. Whether the existing hopper has a crack, the closure no longer seals cleanly, 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 you'd have to go and buy first.
Pairs well with
If you're already giving the Pico a new lease of life, you'll find in our Coffee Scales the right addition for precise dosing – from the compact Normcore Collection to the app-connected Acaia Collection with flow-rate display. And for anyone also thinking about a new machine alongside the Pico, it's worth a look at our La Marzocco Collection or an appointment with our advisor tool for coffee machines.
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 should be replaced?
It usually shows up first at the closure: the lid no longer closes fully, or the hopper no longer sits firmly on the grinder. Fine cracks in the plastic that let more light and air reach the beans are also a sign.
Can I do the replacement myself?
Yes, the bean hopper comes off without tools and the new one goes straight on – a simple step anyone can manage without prior experience.
Can I see the product before buying?
Absolutely, in our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) you can see the original spare part live before you decide.
The roastery tip
Freshly ground starts with freshly stored. In a bean hopper that seals cleanly again, roast aromas like our Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight – dense, aromatic, full of body – come through noticeably clearer. Anyone who prefers something especially full-bodied with no acidity at all finds their choice in Very Nutty. And for anyone curious about a fruity experience: Wild Peach is our discovery for in between. That's our recommendation from the roastery – one among many possible ones.
