Asked 5 years ago by cbrRider22.

• A:Answer Answering my own question since I picked this up today. This coffee grinder comes with two different attachments for the porta filters. One is for a size 58mm and the other is for a 50-54mm porta filter. The smaller attachment does fit a Delonghi coffee/espresso maker. Going to test it out soon! Looks awesome though.

Q: QuestionHow easy is it to clean. I have a different brand now that I am thinking of replacing with something easy to clean.

Asked 2 years ago by Priscilla100.

• A:Answer It's really easy to clean. You'll need to remove the lid to the hopper and turn knob to the unlock position. Empty all beans in the hopper into a container. Place the hopper back on the grinder and run it. This will remove any remaining debris in Burr. Remove the hopper again, inside you'll see the Upper Burr, turn the Upper Burr to the unlock position and remove it. You'll use the brush ,that comes with your machine, to brush off the debris really well. Then you'll brush off the Lower Burr (this part does not come out.) When your done, place parts back into the machine and you're ready to go! The machine does come with a cheatsheet that has a quick grinding and cleaning instructions. It's a really great machine.

Q: QuestionCan you grind directly into a paper or goldstone filter?

Asked 5 years ago by Doc.

• A:Answer It is not recommended to grind directly into a paper or gold tone filter from the Breville® BCG820 Smart Grinder™ Pro as the grinds can easily spill out of the paper filter or slip a bit through the mesh of the gold tone filter causing a mess.

Q: QuestionDo I have to load beans for each brew? Or can it grind a portion of the beans needed for a 12 cup brew or a 10 cup brew etc.?

Asked 3 years ago by DAN1MAL.

• A:Answer You do not have to reload the beans between brews, but you can not clean it until all beans have been ground. I grind a few beans at a time and store the excess coffee in a container supplied with the grinder. this way you can clean the grinder after each grind
