Excellent coffee grinder!!!
Was looking for my first high quality grinder at an affordable price. Most of the other models have a timer or stop by wieght. This model has a manual button. I find it to be just fine without those features. I simply weigh the amount of beans prior to grinding. Then I know the correct amount of coffee is ready. Does not take much time. I bought a cheap digital scale. Under $10 bucks. It has metal burrs and grinds extremely fine for esspresso. Very pleased with purchase. I would recommend also purchasing a funnel for your portafilter. This does away with any small cleanup.

Good coffee bean grinder
It does a good job. It is not messy like other grinders. I had purchased the Breville coffee maker and wanted my grinder to match. Thought to get the pro grinder but this one does all thatI need one to do. I believe it was a good purchase!

Happy!
Very nice! It is adjustable on the fly, beans do not need to be removed from the hopper , very accurately drops ground coffee into my portafilter without much spillage at all. I like it!

Great value, simple machine.
I use this as a decaf grinder for my espresso machine and it’s great. Seems consistent but there’s no way to adjust dosage for set amounts, purely an on/off machine. For some reason it’s messier than my other grinder but for the price it’s a great setup. Pretty quiet. One gripe is the bean hopper is small, maybe 8 ounces of beans will fit. My other machine holds at least 12 but it’s slightly taller.

Perfect grind every time!
This is my second grinder as I have one for regular beans and this for decaffeinated beans. I am all about the Breville! Great products and top tier customer service.This machine grinds perfectly from power to pebbles with nothing mixed going on. I’ve been able to really fine tune it to what works best for our perfect cup of coffee (espresso really) Highly recommend.

Why we waited so long….
I don’t know why we waited so long to get one. We had a Walmart grinder and well this was such a nice upgrade! Don’t wait.

Very Pleased!
I was expecting this not to grind very fine, but it actually grind too fine almost to a powder. So I just dial it down to more coarse because too fine is not good for espresso. Apparently there are a few DUMB reviews that makes people think twice about buying this. Please ignore those. This is a good expresso grinder AND its a good price. Perfect for me because I don’t want a digital screen and bells and whistles, its stupid unless you have a coffee shop You just push to start and push to stop.
