Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Grinder is fantastic, easy to use, and churns out coffee perfectly. I never fill the hopper as I change coffee and espresso very often, but it's big enough for all my needs. Coffee flows smoothly and quietly through this machine. And the settings allow me to dial in the perfect grind for my espresso, french press and drip machine. It's very solid, and very well designed, everything about this unit is well thought out. High end coffee snobs might not care for it, it's less than $1000, but this is a great grinder at a great price for the coffee fan getting into espresso on a budget. This machine is super easy to use and maintain. You might be tempted to buy a cheaper grinder and I can't blame you, but if you are ready to make the leap, and you want these features this machine is the real deal.

This is an expensive, but high quality grinder. I purchased this with the intention of owning it for a very long time; so far, it seems built to last. All of the controls are high quality, the grind size is easy to adjust and extremely uniform, and the output quantity is consistent. I use this for pour over, french press (course), and espresso (fine) grinds, and this machine is easily able to accommodate all three. Conical burr grinders can be a bit challenging to clean, but the parts nicely disassemble to make this chore easier. I found myself cleaning this more often than is necessary at first, as there is very little carryover from one batch of beans to the next. I've also found that the catch tray is slick, as the grounds slide out without much static and it's very easy to clean and replace. I've only owned this a month, so I can't speak to the longevity; but the build quality seems like it should last a while. I'll update this review if something changes.

this is my first "fancy" burr coffee grinder, as I'm tired of the mess the fifty dollar grinders cause (coffee dust everywhere, inconsistent grinds both in quantity and quality). - first off, the magnetic espresso insert/coffee insert are impressive, the pull out tray makes it easy to clean, this is a step up from the standard coffee grinders - My coffee maker is nice, but my espresso machine was the best deal on a 15 bar machine I could find at the time. With my previous coffee grinder I needed to tamp down my grounds. With this coffee grinder, and my current machine, if I tamp down the grounds on a fine grind it's too compact for my espresso machine to process. - the grinder, out of the box, ground a double shot of espresso a bit heavy - I've been able to adjust this (and the removeable tray makes for easy clean up when you get an over grind on the espresso cup). - out of the box, for the coffee grind, I've not noticed much difference (outside of a more consistent amount of grounds) - - the use of silicone in the lids (both the whole bean and the ground tray) I would suspect offers a bit more protection from any oxidation of those coffee beans. . . . . is it worth four times the price? Maybe not (if cleanign up coffee dust in your kitchen is part of the daily routine - and it doesn't bother you), but it's certainly a lot less mess and an elevated machine for the at home coffee/espresso drinker

The Breville Smart Grinder Pro is a great choice for coffee lovers who want one machine that can serve multiple brew styles. Its precision, flexibility, and thoughtful design let you push your coffee game forward without needing multiple grinders. Yes, it has some compromises (coarse grind consistency, timed dosing rather than weight, some UI quirks), but on balance it delivers strong performance and value. For most home users, it strikes an excellent balance between capability and cost.

It’s a great machine and easy to use. The output is very nice and you don’t have to clean it every time.

Good coffee grinder, it is kind of expensive but if you compare with good ones it is kind ok, not bad price for what it does. I am using it for brewed coffee only as my Espresso machine has it own built in grinder. I was using Cuisine art burr grinder prior to this, although it was ok the coffee tastes lot better with this grinder. the quality of grind is much more consistent with this, I felt the coffee not over spill in the box on this unit as compare to my cuisine-art unit which spills coffee everywhere. it has attachment for porta filters for Espresso and could be sued I am not sure the grind is fine enough for espresso, I have not tried it yet maybe I will. it is compact not take whole lot of space on counter, it is very good looking as well built with quality materials.

I love using this coffee grinder! So easy and quick to use. There are different options on how to grind it and you can adjust the timing of it.

This coffee grinder works well and has a myriad of grinding sizes that are easy to set. I add the amount of beans that I wish to grind and have the grinding time set to be a second or so more than the grinding requires. Some reviewers have complained about the grinding time being set in 10ths of a second and the time required to set it. Since the time is set with a rotating know rather than a push button I do not have this complaint. In fact, if I just filled the bean hopper and used the grinding time to regulate the amount of coffee ground, I would welcome the ability to set the time in tenths of a second.

Sleek and easy to store under the cabinets on my counter. Grinds nicely from course for French press all the way down to fine for espresso shots.

Adjustable and works very well Power cord is a little on the short side

The most important aspect of any grinder is its ability to produce grounds where all of the granules are the identical size, for this allows maximum extraction and consistency. Identical granule size is especially critical for making espresso--a high pressure extraction. This grinder does a decent--but not perfect--job at this. There is minor residual flaking at even the finer grinder settings. But we never bought this to do espresso. We have a $2100 Mazzer (commerical grade) for that. We only needed a grinder to do drip and pour-overs, namely Chemex. And for that purpose, it is hard to find a better grinder at this price point. Not only are the grounds near-excellent, but the programmable features seems second-to-none at this price point. LED display shows calibration of grain size (fine to course) and timer settings, et al ... and you can save your settings for next time. And the hopper seals tight and allows you to remove it full of beans without having to empty it first. Very nice. The consumer-level standard is probably the Baratza Vario, which does produce famously perfect grounds day in and out. But we found the Vario temperamental and we tired for fixing it. So, since we already have a commercial grinder dedicated to espresso, we did not need another Baratza Vario. Sure, the Baratza Vario produces superior results, but at over twice the price the difference is negligible. On a scale of 1 to 10 measuring NON-ESPRESSO grinds, if the Baratza Vario is a 10, then the Breville is a solid 7 or 8. And since no one yet can tell a difference in the coffee results between the two, we feel confirmed that--as long as we are only talking about NON-ESPRESSO purposes--we made the correct choice to get this Breville Smart Pro burr grinder.

Easy to use, settings are easy to change and set up. Grinds coffee beans very well according to your setting.

Great price for such a great item, use this almost daily and it blends nicely

I decided to buy this after trying a cheaper cuisinart. This a much more robust product and does a much better fine grind. Worth the extra money, but look for a sale price. These are not cheap.

All good. Just needs to be cleaned out more. We found that it gets clogged more easily. Not sure why. Changing beans to see if improvement.

Definitely a solid grinder and the most bang for the buck coffee grinder I've found. Grinds consistently and can really go down to espresso fine. Its fairly quiet but still noticably louder than something like the Fellow Ode. A little but of static sticking but i get shocked by everything in my house during the winter months so i cant blame that solely on the grinder.

Absolutely recommend this grinder! After much research on various coffee grinders, I decided on the Breville Smart Grinder Pro and have not been disappointed. The grind options are exceptional allowing you to choose size and quantity to precise preferences. I found the machine to not be quite as noisy as others I've seen, easy to clean and it takes up a relatively small foot print of counter space. Very clean performance with no spillage or scattering of grinds. Great product that I would encourage others to buy.

Great Quality! easy to use and beautifull designs.

excellent coffee grinder. Easy to work, easy to clean. Much better than my previous coffee grinder which stopped working in about a year. not made in china, but assembled in China

My husband and I are obsessed with this machine. The sleek lines, shape and size is perfect for our counter space, I don’t need to hide it in our cabinet or pantry like other grinders. Its settings are easy to adjust in order to ground the perfect amount of coffee from an espresso to a perfect French press or full pot of coffee. It’s also quiet enough to where you can hear it yet not be obnoxiously loud during a grind in the morning. Perfect machine, we highly recommend it!
