Customer Ratings & Reviews

The coffee is excellent — can’t beat freshly ground beans! The carafe stays warm for hours, especially if you preheat it with some hot water. My only complaint is that the chute door mechanism at the back can be difficult to clean. It really should be cleaned every couple of uses, but I end up cleaning it when I change the beans in the hopper.

Smaller footprint than previously owned machine. Relatively easy to operate and clean. Still fine tuning strength to meet preferences.

Makes great coffee. Easy to clean. Easy to get at grinder.

This machine makes a magnificent cup of coffee. Definitely a learning curve on finding the right bean and strength. For me, i use 100% Kona beans and strongest setting. I only have make single cups and have not made a carafe yet. That single cup is like GOLD in the morning - simply an AWESOME cup of coffee. Very happy with this puchase

Makes great coffee!!! I recommend good quality coffee beans for the best results. Some review suggest it takes to much work to clean after each brewing, however, I find it takes me 2-3 minutes tops, and that is being VERY thorough! Very much worth it in my opinion.

Makes great coffee but comes with a learning curve. It's a bit nuanced but once you learn the ins and outs it's very good

It’s a beautiful design and easy to use but I would find another option. It’s overpriced in my opinion because it makes weak coffee, it’s hard to pour out the last cup, it’s also hard to clean the pot. When you pay that much you don’t want to drink coffee flavored water. We ended up returning it sticking with our French Press for now…

I've read other reviews before buying this coffee maker. They said that it was hard to clean but I disagree. The only extra step is wiping off the disk at the back of the coffee basket to clean off the coffee grounds. Cleaning the basket is super easy, just throw away the paper filter and rinse it out. Super easy. I like the grinder and this machine makes excellent coffee. In my opinion, it's worth the price.

It works very well as expected. Grinds and brews with nice customization on grind size and brew strength. Rinse the basket and basket shoot holder after each use and dry. Not sure why others reported difficulty. Just follow the directions, makes a great cup every time with ease. Only negatives: 1. needs the carafe/cup preheated with hot water if you prefer your coffee on the hotter side, and 2. The carafe design leaves a little coffee in the pot. Otherwise, probably one of the best grind and brews available.

I like a solid "German like" appliance.. The Breville Grind Control 12 cup just gets it right. Made with great materials and the needed features I wanted.. If you are a coffee drinker who is looking to graduate out of pre-ground coffee-hood.. This unit is an excellent step up! With a good quality bean you can really enjoy a cup of quality coffee here. Good price, value, and features.. with a nice ease of use.. I can recommend this unit (Breville) with ease..

Great coffee, easy to program. Easy to clean. Quiet grinder.

Good quality appliance that we know will last for years! Makes a nice strong cup of coffee. Parts are easy to clean!

Great coffee maker, reliable, versatile....we are super picky but really enjoy everything about this coffee maker!

A great cup of coffee, love the grinder, n auto set with thermal carafe, best money spent!

Amazing coffee machine. Has a burr grinder and grinds coffee with different grind options. Love it!

One month in and we are completely stratified with the coffee maker. Makes a consistent pot of coffee. We also enjoy the ability to enhance the coffee strength from time to time and control the about of brewed coffee. We have cleaned the unit and kept the coffee shoot clear. So far we are very happy with our purchase.

Great tasting coffee. Easy to use. Not so easy to clean. And as far as I know, no way to customize the amount of grinds produced per preset water setting.

Breville - the Grind Control 12-Cup Coffee Maker is a good looking machine. I always want an Integrated Grinder coffee maker and this one is beautiful. I have this machine for 2 months now. I have a little problem with grinder where it seems to pull the bean in on one side only which I'm going to bring it in for exchange. Great machine regardless.

It's pricey for a coffee pot but so worth it if you enjoy drinking coffee for more than just the caffeine. Takes the guess work out of brewing and consistently delivers a great cup of coffee. I also love the option to brew a quick cup without having to make an entire pot.

Well made and easy to use. Requires some busy work to maintain.
