Breville BCG600SIL The Dose Control Pro Coffee Grinder

This product is terrific! The Breville BCG600SIL coffee bean grinder is a game changer for any coffee lover. With adjustable grind settings, you can customize your coffee to your liking. The only downside is the relatively small capacity, but the quality of the grind makes up for it. The static buildup can be a bit annoying, but it's a small price to pay for such a great product. Overall, I highly recommend this grinder for anyone looking to elevate their coffee experience.

I bought this coffee grinder to replace the exact same grinder I had purchased around 5 years ago, which finally gave up the ghost. I was happy with its performance having used it at least 5 times a day for 5 years straight and didn’t hesitate to replace it with the same model. We like its size, compact enough to fit in between the bench and shelf above it, and it offers excellent grinding settings and features. I like to avoid digital machines in case they break down and are not as easily repaired. This machine had no problems during its 5 year lifetime and proved functional and reliable with multiple daily use.

My mom bought one of these for espresso only. After about a year it could no longer grind fine enough for espresso, because of plastic internals wearing down. So, she bought a new one. That one broke down after a couple months, failing to grind courser than espresso, and now grinds neither fine, nor course grind coffee, and is useless. Only about 4 months of use.Even at peak performance the grind consistency, retention and such was not great, but it's a relatively cheap grinder, so to be expected.If you are going to buy this, because of brand loyalty or what have you, do not use it as both an espresso and coffee grinder. Regularly changing grind seems to be a death-sentence for this grinder.Positives: Pretty easy to break-down to clean and maintain. Is not the ... MoreMy mom bought one of these for espresso only.

Metal burrs. Consistent enough to be an upgrade to cheaper grinders, or pre-ground coffee.
