La Marzocco Bean Hopper Lid for Pico – Original Spare Part
A lid seems like the most unremarkable part of a grinder – until it no longer closes properly. Then you suddenly notice how much this small piece of plastic actually holds in: the aroma of the beans 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 only becomes important once it starts to fail. This original lid replaces just the closure piece, without having to swap out 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 more of exactly that reach the beans than necessary. This doesn't affect the taste of a single cup, but the development over days – that quiet change you only notice once the coffee tastes less dense and less aromatic than it did a week ago.
The replacement is simple: the old lid comes off, the new one goes on – no tools, no modification to the bean hopper itself.

Who it's for
For every Pico owner whose lid alone is showing signs of wear – a crack, a closure that no longer clicks in properly, 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 have to replace more than you need to.
Pairs well with
For daily dosing alongside the Pico, we recommend our Coffee Scales – compact and reliable with the Normcore Collection, or with app connectivity and flow-rate display from the Acaia Collection. If you ever want to swap the Pico for a new grinder or machine, you'll find in our La Marzocco Collection and via our advisor tool for coffee machines the right overview.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have 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 their own closure.
How do I know the lid should be replaced?
If it no longer closes flush, shows visible cracks, or the closing mechanism has become loose, it's worth replacing.
Can I see the product before buying?
Yes, in our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) you can see the original spare part live.
The roastery tip
A tight-sealing lid preserves what the roast gives it. For the large majority, we recommend Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight from the roastery – full-bodied, aromatic, dense. Anyone looking for maximum body with no acidity at all is in the right place with Very Nutty. And for anyone wanting to discover a fruity experience: Wild Peach, lively and always a discovery. Our recommendation – one among many.
