xUpgrade your Baratza grinder with an AIEVE Silicone Hopper Bellow
Designed as a precise, one-handed tool, the AIEVE bellow fits Baratza Encore, Encore ESP, and Virtuosa+ grinders, offering a cleaner, more controlled grinding experience. Built from food-grade silicone, it’s BPA-free and designed to flex thousands of times without cracking, making it a practical upgrade for daily use.
What it is and how it works
The bellow is a lightweight, one-piece accessory that sits over the dose hopper opening. After grinding, you can gently press the bellows to push air through the hopper, helping move the last bits of coffee out and clearing grinds that linger in the cavity. This 2-in-1 function combines airflow with grind-retention clearance for a smoother end to each brew.
- Compatibility: fits Baratza Encore, Encore ESP, and Virtuosa+ grinders; does not include hopper or lid.
- Material quality: food-grade silicone, BPA-free, durable, and stretchy for repeated use.
- 2-in-1 function: air-purge plus grind-retention clearance with a simple press, using one hand.
- Value-driven: an affordable upgrade compared with full single-dose hopper sets.
- Easy installation: install in one step, no tools required; ready to use after grinding.
How to use and tips
After you finish grinding, hold the grinder and press the bellows a few times to flush out remaining grounds. When you change beans, the same action helps clear old grind from the chamber. For best results, cycle 2–3 times.
- One-handed operation makes it convenient during busy mornings.
- Great for reducing grind retention between bean changes.
- Ideal for daily use with Baratza Encore ESP and Virtuosa+ grinders.

Note: This product does not include the hopper or lid. It’s a compact add-on designed to improve the end-of-draw process and can be used repeatedly to support consistent performance.
