KitchenAid 8 Oz. Removable Bean Hopper with Lid for Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines (KES6551) - KESRBHS

Switching beans on a machine with a fixed hopper means grinding the old ones out, shot by shot, before the new bag tastes like anything. A second removable hopper ends that: twist, lift, swap. Keep a decaf in one and your daily espresso blend in the other, or park a single origin mid-bag without losing it to staling.

Built for bean exploration

• Twist-and-lift removal: Comes off the grinder in one motion, so you can empty, exchange or refill without tipping the machine or scooping beans out by hand.
• 8 oz. capacity: Roughly 17 shots of espresso per fill, depending on bean, roast and your dose setting.
• Sealed lid: Keeps beans protected from air and light between sessions — the difference between a bag that lasts two weeks and one that dulls in four days.
• A spare worth owning: Running two hoppers means you never have to choose between finishing a bag and trying the next one.
