Title: Amazing Grinder, Looks Great!
Review: This is one heck of a grinder. First of all, it's very attractive looking. It honestly looks even nicer than it does in the photos (I think the photos make it look kind of like cheap plastic, but that's not at all how it feels).The grind size is extremely consistent and it doesn't take terribly long to grind. (Grinding 42 grams of coffee at setting 52 takes about 28 seconds).It's really easy to adjust grind size with the big knob on the right. You have to experiment a little with choosing the number of cups or shots you need, but it's all very customizable. For instance, say you making 4 cups of coffee in a French Press. If you're like me and you measure your beans first, then put them in the hopper and grind right before using, the 4 cup setting at a coarse grind size might not complete all the beans in the time it use right out of the box. No problem though -- you can use the knob on the front to adjust the time to grind for 4 cups. It adjusts in 0.2 second increments. The one thing I haven't tested is the consistency of the weight outputted once you dial in a time. (Because I just do the weighing first and don't store beans in the hopper).I haven't tested this for espresso because I don't drink espresso, but everything I have seen online indicates it works very well for an espresso grind (for this price range, of course. This isn't a $1500 grinder or anything). It does come with two portafilter holders though, which is very cool.The hopper seems to seal pretty darn well. As a bit of coffee obsessive person, if I wasn't trying new coffees all the time through a subscription service, I wouldn't hesitate to store a pound of beans in there and just grind what I need each morning. And honestly, the container for the ground beans seems airtight enough that I wouldn't sweat it too much leaving some extra grounds in there until the next morning.The adjustable burrs are an awesome feature, but I haven't had to adjust them -- I've been happy with the factory range so far. (I almost exclusively brew using a Chemex and I'm happy with the grind for pour over use).It's pretty easy to clean the machine of loose grounds, so that's not a big deal.If you're looking at this machine, in all likelihood you're also considering the Baratza Virtuoso or Encore. I can't speak to how those machines function -- I haven't owned either. I can say that the knobs and LEDs and stainless steel of the Breville appealed to the nerd in me, and the grind produced by this machine is acceptable. Everything I've seen on the Baratza machines indicates they are absolutely excellent as well, but given that this machine and the Virtuoso are the same price, I opted for the style I like. I have not been disappointed.EDIT: Since I wrote this review, I learned a couple of things. First, the espresso-level grind is very fine and very consistent. I tried it for a cold brew and it worked out great. Second, you can hold down the start button and it will grind until you let go. If you put in an amount of beans you have weighed, this feature will allow you to either get a good idea of how much time you'll need to grind to get the amount you want if you intend on filling the hopper with beans, or, if you only put in as much as you need to grind, not have to mess with the timer at all and instead just grind until you hear that it's empty (the burrs make a very different sound when no beans are being ground). Third, I haven't found the weight output based on time to be consistent enough for my needs. I'm pretty anal about ratio and I only want to grind exactly as much as I need each time. I don't think this is Breville's fault. They can't control for bean size, etc. For the anal people like me, it'll be best to not fill up the hopper and store your beans elsewhere, then just grind what you need.

Title: Great Grinder- no complaints from me
Review: I've only recently become a coffee/ espresso nerd and come to realize the value of a good grinder. I never would've thought I'd spend over $200 on a coffee grinder, but I totally get it now. I got my first real espresso machine a few months ago and needed a grinder that could do espresso. I initially purchased a very popular but inexpensive grinder that seemed OK at first and said it was suitable for espresso grinds, but it was extremely loud and at the finest setting was in reality not quite fine enough to pull a perfect espresso shot.Compared to the cheaper grinder (~1/3 price of the breville):- Breville feels way better made. Everything on it just feels good/ solid/ heavy and doesn't have a cheap plastic feeling. This is to be expected for a grinder 3x the cost.- Breville is WAY quieter. Previous grinder would wake up everyone in my house running it at 7am, while with the breville I'm not too worried about it. It's still fairly noisy but it shouldn't wake up kids/ roommates in another room unless they are super light sleepers.- Breville has way more settings and can effortlessly grind finer than I'll ever need. Cheaper one just couldn't pull off an espresso grind.- Grind consistency is pretty darn consistent with the breville. The other grinder had lots of super fine dust mixed in and a lot of grounds that were too coarse.Only cons I can think of:-I have a 58mm, 3-ear portafilter and it doesn't work with the plaster holder- I have to hold it the whole time I'm grinding. Pretty annoying but I wouldn't say it's enough to dock a star.All-in-all, I'm happy with the purchase and would recommend.

Title: Excellent grinder
Review: This is my first REAL coffee grinder. Until know I've been using a cheap blade grinder.This has really taken my coffee to the next level! And combined with my new Breville Precision coffee maker, my coffee is now much more flavorful and delicious.This machine has excellent build quality. It feels like it will last forever, with no cheap or easily broken pieces.The amount of options you have as far as grind size is amazing. It's actually more than the 60 they claim, as in addition to the 60 settings, you can also adjust the upper burr; I think there are 7 or so settings for that, so that extends the upper and lower ends of your grind sizes a bit.The timer programming is really clever, and I imagine is a way to give you the precision that you would get with a grinder with a built-in scale without the higher cost. Each cup and shot setting has a preset grind time that you can adjust as you wish and save your new setting. What I've been doing is weighing my beans with a 200g scale, and then grinding them, adjusting the programmed time each time until I get each cup size perfect (e.g. 4 cups, 6 cups, 8 cups). Once I have this dialed in, I won't have to weigh the beans anymore. It's best to do this with each different type of bean you use (and possibly even different batches, as bean density will never be constant). But once you got this dialed in, you could put a pound or more of beans in the hopper and not have to weigh them anymore. I'll probably keep weighing them, as I'll be trying different kinds of coffee, and I don't want to keep beans in the hopper anyway for freshness sake.As others have mentioned, I got the AIEVE Silicone Bellow, which fits between the hopper and lid perfectly. I use it to blow extra grinds out of the chute after grinding, to help minimize the grinds left in the chute.The grinder isn't too loud, much quieter than my blade grinder. I also like that you can also manually grind if you don't want to mess with the timer.The controls are very easy to use.I love how the plate at the bottom is held by a magnet and snaps out, so you can easily clean off any grinds that fall on it.The only downside with this machine that I've seen is with the grind container that comes with it. It's plastic, so grinds stick to the inside surface due to static charge. The top also doesn't fit under the chute perfectly, so you do get some grinds spilling in the back, but since the tray comes off easily, that isn't a big deal. The tray is even shaped in such a way to make it easy to pour any grinds on it into your filter basket. It would've been nice if the grind container were made of stainless steel, to minimize the grinds sticking to it. I try to get the grinds off the sides with my finger, and into the filter basket, but I can never get them all. I may end up getting a 250mL steel breaker, but I feel like I shouldn't have to do that.I do like that the grinds container has markings for making espresso, drip coffee, and French press coffee. That's a nice touch. The lid also can seal with an attached stopper cap, so you can keep grinds in the container, I guess, though I don't know why anyone would want to do that. Seems to defeat the whole purpose of grinding your coffee fresh in the first place. It's just unfortunate that with such an otherwise-stellar machine they've given us a grind container made of plastic, so the grinds stick to it. Also the stopper for the lid seems unnecessary and pointless, and it would've been better to have a lid that more perfectly mates with the chute to eliminate mess.I did try grinding directly into a coffee filter, and that didn't work well at all and made a mess.All in all I'm very happy with this machine. My only quibbles have to do with the grind container. I just feel like for the cost and quality of this machine, they should have provided a better grind container. Everything else with the grinder is so well thought out, and then the grind container wasn't thought out at all. But it's still not enough to give this machine anything less than a 5-star rating.

Title:
Review: This Breville coffee grinder has truly elevated my home coffee setup. I was looking for a compact yet powerful grinder - with some flexibility, and this one checks all the boxes. The design is sleek, with a sturdy build that feels well-made. I primarily use it for espresso, which is every day - as an espresso demands fresh griding, but I also use it for brewing my cold brew - where I grind big and a lot of it - and it delivers a consistent, measurable grind that’s essential for quality shots and good cold brew. The adjustable settings make it easy to customize the grind size, which is a huge plus for someone who enjoys experimenting with different coffee styles.Using the grinder is straightforward, and I appreciate the convenience of the preset grind volumes – it saves time during busy mornings. Cleanup is also manageable, with a removable bottom piece that helps keep stray grounds contained. My only minor issue is the cord length, which could be a little longer for easier placement on the counter. That said, the grinder’s quality and performance definitely outweigh this small inconvenience. Overall, a great addition to any coffee lover’s kitchen!

Review: Hasta ahora luego de casi tres años de usó me sigue pareciendo que el precio está justificado y el molido que entrega está bien, es el primero que tengo, así que no tengo forma de compararlo con otros modelos para poder emitir una opiniónejor sobre alguna comparación, pero e logrado hacer un molido muy fino para expreso y un molido fino, de buen molido.

Review: Personally when I set out to buy a proper espresso burr grinder, cost was an important factor. For something which sole purpose is to just grind coffee beans, it's a bit painful to see just how expensive the espresso grinder market is and how limited the options are, and as a newbie, I can't really gauge the true value of something that costs $500+ more than this. Even this grinder I wouldn't define it as cheap, despite it being one of the cheapest options. If that's the boat you're in, definitely put this grinder in your list of considerations.Keep in mind I haven't used one of the more expensive grinders yet so I can't quite know for sure what I'm missing in terms of extraction and flavor etc. What I was after were the cost, ease-of-use, consistency, and flavor, and this grinder does just that with a nice fine and fluffy grind that can produce espresso that I think even a coffee enthusiast can appreciate.9 month update: so far this grinder is holding up. The only negatives are the clumpiness, but this is pretty minor as it is easily fixed with WDT. Also had to adjust the inner bur for some coffee beans I had. Still though, it grinds more than fine enough to where you can choke the machine if you wanted. The other slight negative is that it’s hard to fit a dosing funnel on the portafilter while grinding, making spillage pretty common. However, still liking this grinder.

Review: ラテアートを趣味にと思い、始めてから半年程になります。最初はインスタントコーヒーと100均のミルクフォーマーから始めましたが、上質なエスプレッソが大切だという事でこのグラインダーにたどりつきました。表示は明るいデジタルで見やすく、自動で止まるタイマー、ショット数、60段階のメッシュ調整が可能で、メッシュの細かさもココアパウダー並に挽け、クレマも十分に出すことが出来ます。最初は豆に合った挽き目や時間調整、味などに手間取るかも知れませんが、それを見つけるまでがまた楽しかったです。ちなみにエスプレッソマシンはデロンギ.スティローザで、他のマシンから改造したボトムレスフィルターを使用しています。エスプレッソ専用グラインダーは高額の物ばかりですが、この価格ならかなりコスパは良く、エントリーモデルに最適かと思います。
