This is a good little grinder. I am a fan of Sage appliances having recently owned the barista express espresso machine and now the Bambino plus and this grinder. All very well built.This grinder seems to have the same grinder mechanism as in the barista espresso.The grind is consistently the same when on the desired setting.I have one minor niggle with it, it is only minor. (Hence only 4 stars) There is a lovely feature that once you have set the required grind time you can stop during the grind momentarily to do a tamp and then continue the grind to complete the set time. Unfortunately for me that after just under 10 seconds this delay ends and resets to the full grind time.10 seconds is not enough time to remove the basket, tidy/tamp and return to finish ... MoreThis is a good little grinder.

Capable of holding up to 12 cups of coffee, it's perfect for serving a large group or preparing multiple servings for the day.However, while the Breville Smart Grinder Pro is largely impressive, it isn't without minor setbacks. Some users might find the machine slightly noisy, which could be a concern for early morning or late-night grinding. Also, the machine, while user-friendly overall, may require a learning curve to fully understand and utilize its extensive grind settings.In conclusion, the Breville - the Smart Grinder Pro 12-Cup Coffee Grinder is a high-quality, versatile, and intelligent appliance that's well worth the investment. It's perfect for both coffee novices looking to experiment with their brew and seasoned coffee connoisseurs seeking precision and consistency.

Best Value in Espresso GrindersThis is my second one, the first wore out after 8 years and about 2 tonnes of coffee (seriously).It has a built in doser, easy to adjust. There are two cradles for portafilters, one for 54mm (standard Breville) and 58mm (almost everybody else).Changing out coffee is painless with the easy-removal hopper that has a lockout gate in the bottom.The best part is ease of access to the burrs for cleaning and adjusting for overall finer or coarser grind.There are better grinders of course but they are much more expensive. This one meets my needs perfectly at a good price.The photos show the 54mm portafilter with dosing funnel attached (dosing funnel is available elsewhere), removable hopper, access to the burrs and finally the adjustment ... MoreBest Value in Espresso GrindersThis is my second one, the first wore out after 8 years and about 2 tonnes of coffee (seriously).It has a built in doser, easy to adjust.

It also grinds perfectly well for pour-over. Really shines at espresso without breaking the bank.

I bought this together with the Bambino Plus as an upgrade on my previous budget coffee equipment. From my research I was aware that there are better grinders out there for espresso but only if you spend a lot more.Overall I’m really pleased with the smart grinder pro - plenty of grind settings, it goes fine enough for espresso, it’s easy to use, fast and not too loud.It’s really convenient being able to set and save my preferred grind time and that it can do a dose for one or two cups automatically.There are just a few slight shortcomings:- it’s very messy as the coffee overflows out of the portafilter basket. I remedied this by buying a clip-on dosing funnel elsewhere for under a tenner. This is such a huge improvement for relatively little cost, I don’t ... MoreI bought this together with the Bambino Plus as an upgrade on my previous budget coffee equipment.

I remedied this by buying a clip-on dosing funnel elsewhere for under a tenner. This is such a huge improvement for relatively little cost, I don’t know why sage don’t just include it- sometimes the amount of ground coffee you get out is inconsistent, even with the same beans, grind time and grind size the output can vary by a few grams- the grind size adjustment nob is a bit inconsistent and sometimes there are audibly two clicks when turning it but the number on the screen only changes by one, other times just one click.All in all though I’m very happy with it and hope it’ll last a long time.
Overall, and considering the price, I'll give this grinder a 4-star rating. I needed to upgrade from an older burr grinder with one that will be primarily for my drip and pour-overs, but can serve as a back up for my espresso machine if my current espresso grinder (Eureka Silencio) should ever fail, and the Breville Smart Grinder Pro checked all the minimum boxes, including a budget limit of $200.The user interface is good once you understand the programming/operational interface. It gives me a fairly consistent grind, and does so in a reasonable amount of time and at a lower noise level than my previous grinder. The magnetic latches are a nice touch, and I appreciate the bottom catch tray that is easily removable.On to some areas that could use improvements:- ... MoreOverall, and considering the price, I'll give this grinder a 4-star rating.

The magnetic latches are a nice touch, and I appreciate the bottom catch tray that is easily removable.On to some areas that could use improvements:- During the grinding process, the pitch of the motor changes frequently -> a more powerful motor would be beneficial.- Static. As others have mentioned, there is a fair amount of static generated and especially on the bottom side of the grinds container cover. TIP: put a few drops of water in the beans before grinding and the static will be greatly reduced. Engineering with different materials and flow design can improve the static generated (my Eureka is outstanding at not generating static - no water drops needed!)- Grinds retention -> there is a lot in the chamber and chute. This will cause staleness and bitterness over time, and as others have pointed could cause premature damage to the impeller (secondary upgrade opportunity Breville -> use a metal impeller). Frequent cleanings are necessary.- Appreciate there is an adjustable finer/coarser setting on the removable burr. Some have indicated that it still can be a challenge to get really coarse grinds for French Press like applications and at the coarsest settings more grind size variability occurs -> likely could be addressed with upgraded burr design?
I bought the Smart Grinder Pro to accompany the Breville Dual Boiler Espresso Machine. It looks good and pairs well on the bench with the espresso machine. It has an air tight seal on the bean hopper to keep coffee beans fresh and has stainless steel conical burrs for optimal grinding. There is an LCD screen displaying the grind time, grind size and grind setting. The grind size can be adjusted from fine espresso to coarser plunger and everywhere in between and will grind beans manually or automatically. Now that I know the grind that I like for my coffee, I simply put the basket underneath and push the 'start' button. There is a microswitch at the rear of where the portafilter sits that wakes up the grinder when you touch it with the portafilter. Pressed a second ... MoreI bought the Smart Grinder Pro to accompany the Breville Dual Boiler Espresso Machine. It looks good and pairs well on the bench with the espresso machine.

Pressed a second time, it will begin grinding to the pre-set parameters. There is also a Grind Container if you wish to grind coffee in advance for, say, a picnic. It is a great enhancement to my Breville Dual Boiler espresso machine.
My partner and I like completely different coffees. He had been using an old faithful burr grinder for years and when we bought ourselves the Barista Pro machine (once we realised we liked different coffees) I used the hopper and he continued to use his old grinder. That was until I came across this Smart Grinder Pro purely by chance on Kev's coffee blog. Kev did a brilliant and thorough review and I knew it was exactly what I wanted. The black truffle colourway matches our other machine and now my partner can use the portafilter to grind his own beans directly to brew in our machine. Coffee grinding & making is always messy but this is so much cleaner than spooning the grinds out. We love the digital display and quiet the grinder is compared to both the pro machine ... MoreMy partner and I like completely different coffees.

The first grinder failed in less than 3 months.The second grinder arrived with high expectations and the second one has a different set of problems right out of the box that were not present with the first unit that failed (first unit simply stopped grinding). The following issues are present with the second grinder that were not present in the first Smart Grinder Pro:1: Excessive static electricity, there is ground coffee that sticks all over the place and at least a tablespoon does not make it into the receptacle/bin.2: The grind time setting and cup setting appear to have no correlation to one another (the first grinder put out the measured amount for the cup setting, I must have gotten lucky with the factory set up on grinder #1). I have tried altering the ... MoreThe first grinder failed in less than 3 months.The second grinder arrived with high expectations and the second one has a different set of problems right out of the box that were not present with the first unit that failed (first unit simply stopped grinding).

I have tried altering the cup setting, I've tried altering the grind time, I've tried altering the grind size; (I have the time setting set 11 seconds shorter than the original grind time/cup setting) and it still produces between 9 and 12, there is so much static that it just makes a mess trying to measure things out or even dump out the bin. It's basically grinding at random (I have not switched brands of coffee and I have tried 3 different bags of the same kind of coffee from the same company - never had a problem with grinder #1)
Had mine for 8 years, never had an issue, use mine 3-4 times a week for espresso. Works great for pourovers and aeropress as well. Easy to clean, hopper and top burr grinder comes off, I recommend cleaning once every ~3-6 months for longevity and getting any stale coffee grounds or coffee oils out.Only note - is I would recommend Breville to provide more documentation on how exactly adjusting the inner burr changes the grind size. I've needed to adjust for espresso and now all my other pour over & aeropress recipes are off by a bit and I'm not sure by how much the grind size changed. Would be nice to have some sort of chart of Micron values so we can normalize 3inner45grind and 5inner 35grind to the similar conversion. Would allow us to better communicate with ... MoreHad mine for 8 years, never had an issue, use mine 3-4 times a week for espresso. Works great for pourovers and aeropress as well.

Would allow us to better communicate with others who have the same machine and are trying to share recipes or share grind sizes. "medium" or "medium fine" work too I guess, but I just think it's a bit of a missed opportunity to have better transparency on what we are adjusting there or how much we are adjusting it by. Makes for a little less trial and error for the user.
Very happy with this product (and Breville's excellent customer service).If you're looking to upgrade your grinder - essential to great coffee - but are on a budget, this is the grinder for you.The conical burrs make a great difference in producing an excellent grind that is uniform throughout. One great feature is that you can add your portafiter to the machine and as a result get just what you need if you're a home espresso maker. I should add: It's great for our regular grind as well, with lots of "dialing in" options to make sure you get the grind just how you want it.I want to elaborate on that last point just a bit. You can find the grind level you like, and just return to it every time you brew for your drip or espresso coffee. That's totally cool.
