It’s convenient, grinds beans as expected from the setting done. Right size for my kitchen right beside my Breville Espresso maker.

I purchased a less expensive grinder to save money. I should have known better. Took the cheaper one back and bought this one. For me, it's perfect.

Works great for my expresso, once it’s dialed in. I’ve found a grind setting of 6, and 15.2 seconds of grind is the right spot for my expresso machine to make a double. I was looking at grinders twice or 3 times as expensive, but I’m happy with this one.

The order process via Best buy was awesome.
The machine is intuitive and simple to operate, it offers 60 step grinder setting. If you want to pull a good espresso shot you need to experiment with the grinder setting, it took me 6 tries to dial in the settings. The machine has a timer as well, you can dial the timer to get the correct amount of ground coffee (thus minimal waste).
The machine has a small conical grinder, so it is not fast (it takes ~20sec to get enough espresso ground coffee).
Overall I am happy with the purchase, good grinder at a good price point.
If you are an espresso aficionado, this machine is not for you

Works great! I use specifically for espresso, and it gets the jobs done. Love that it’s semi digital, it does disperse clumps though, so WDT is needed

Was surprised it worked so much better than expected. Bonus was it took the portafilter directly! Makes a nice compliment to the Breville Bambino.

LARGE CLUMPS in GRIND, and MESSY!

This is a nice looking grinder and comes with some premium features and accessories. This grinder suffers from a LOT of retention inside due to static and more importantly this grinder cant grind espresso well, it makes large clumps that cause channeling in the portafilter as evident by areas where espresso doesn't drip out. If you are using a PRESSURIZED basket (Breville, Delonghi, etc) this grinder will work perfectly for you since you dont have to grind super fine. BUT if you are using it a regular basket in a real espresso machine with a bottomless portafilter this grinder is NOT for you.

This grinder works great, plenty of settings and they correspond great when I checked them with manual measurements. I'm only using it to grind coffee for a moccamaster (Technivorm). I haven't tried it for fine grinds yet.

For an affordable coffee grinder, I would definitely recommend this Breville coffee grinder. I bought this one to replace a previous older Breville that was lost in a power surge. It's a bit loud but it works very well and has very good grind uniformity. I make my own coffee blends and love this grinder. It is very easy to use, easy to operate and cleaning is easy as well.

Amazing product, makes it so easy to get the first glass of coffee in the morning! The ability to dial it down from the size of the grind to duration on just touch of a button is fantastic. If you are looking for a smart grinder and okay with the price, just get it.

The Breville Smart Grinder Pro is awesome! The grind quality is perfect for espresso, drip, or French press. It’s super easy to use—just takes a little time to find the perfect setting for pour overs. Once you do, it delivers consistent and delicious results every time. Highly recommended for any coffee lover

The Ultimate Grinder

I have used the Rancilio Rocky coffee grinder for a few years ($350+) and this absolutely destroys it in every way possible. This grinder has stepped up my coffee game. I can now easily move from espresso all the way down to cold brew. Adjusting it super easy. The only thing you will want to do is experiment a bit with the built in times so you can get your settings right. I use this the most for making pots of coffee using the Breville coffee machine. It is the ultimate pair! Fun tip if you are doing bbq or baking chocolate goods set this to the finest setting and it creates coffee so fine it dissolves into your mixes and really boosts the chocolate flavor!
