There are many bad reviews here about this grinder seizing or stopping, and a few even that talk of a burning smell... this is an easy problem to get around. Bottom line, this is a truly superb entry level grinder with one major drawback that is easily overcome. I'll get into what makes this grinder great in a bit, but first, the one thing you NEED TO KNOW if you buy this model. If the grinder slows down or stops grinding before it has run its cycle, PAUSE THE GRINDER. You do this by pressing the button on the right. Then remove the hopper (consult the manual - this is easy to do). Remove the upper burr (also easy to do - read the manual). Dump out any beans inside the grinder (just pick the machine up and turn it upside down - I dump the beans back into the hopper). Brush out the lower burr area (Breville supplies a small brush for this). Put the upper burr and the hopper back together. Restart the grinder (press the right button). It will complete the remainder of the cycle that was paused. You may wish to manually grind a bit more to make up for any lost grounds. Why does this happen? The motor in this model is a bit underpowered. It can get hung up while grinding. It is rare, but there it is. It's happened to me once in months of daily use. When it happens, follow the steps above and you should have no issues. It's what I did, and the grinder went right back to flawless operation like it had never happened. Why is this still a great grinder? It's pretty simple - the ONLY thing that matters about a grinder other than reliability/durability is how consistent the grind is (how uniform is the size of the individual specks of ground coffee). The better the consistency, the better your coffee will be, period. This model **absolutely excels** in consistency. Hands down, independently tested, it blows every grinder in this price range out of the water with more than twice as much "optimal" size grounds as compared to the next best make and model. You can spend 2 or 3 times this amount and still not get a more consistent grind than you will with this guy. Where it counts, this grinder is the king, unless you want to spend far far more for a true professional model. Some additional nice features: ---With a bit of experimenting, you can dial in exactly how much coffee you want it to grind per cup (for drip) or per shot (for espresso) and easily program that amount in so you don't have to think about it again. Once that is done, you can simply tell it 1 or 2 shots, or how many drip cups (up to 12) that you want to make, and then you can ALWAYS grind the EXACT amount of coffee you need. This means you can always make coffee with only freshly ground beans without ever wasting a single bean. That is pretty awesome. ---You can experiment with up to 60 grind sizes to dial in exactly what you want. Personally, for espresso, 15.8 seconds at size 14 grind gives a perfectly dialed in double shot on my Breville espresso machine. For drip, I'm liking the mid 40's, but I haven't decided exactly where yet. The difference from one setting to the adjacent setting is really hard to taste with drip coffee. ---If you don't need super fine espresso grinds but want courser grounds than setting 60 will give you (to get French Press just so), you can adjust the upper burr (easy to do - read the manual). There are 4 more positions that will adjust all 60 settings and make them coarser. Conversely, if you want even finer espresso but don't need the coarsest settings, there are 5 more positions of that upper burr that will make the whole range of the machine finer. One video review I saw said this makes for 600 grind settings, but I'm sure most of those 600 are overlapping. It's at least 69 different grinds possible, at any rate. ---Large hopper. Not as big as a professional grinder's hopper, but you can put a full pound of beans into this grinder with some room to spare. ---Cleanly removable hopper. In order to remove the hopper, you twist a knob to "lock" it. This closes down the feed ports at the bottom so no beans will fall out when you take the hopper off. If you want to get crazy, you could buy a second hopper (or more) and switch between espresso and normal coffee easily (although the first few beans ground will be from the previous hopper, left behind in the burr, unless you dump them out when switching). The removable hopper also makes it very easy to clean after it starts to get oil buildup (which can contribute to the machine seizing up). ---Magnetic removable catch tray. Grinds get everywhere, and this makes cleaning up of (most) loose grinds very easy. ---Magnetic portafilter holders. You get two, one for the standard 58mm PF size, and one for the smaller PF's found on Breville automatic espresso machines. You can set your portafilter in the holder, and grind right into it without any mess. There's even a button so you can set the portafilter in, then activate the grinder by simply pushing on the portafilter. Some things that could stand improvement: ---More powerful motor... that would make this grinder just about perfect. ---Could be a bit quieter. It's not especially loud, as grinders go, but it's not the quietest I've owned either. But a more power motor would probably be louder, so they may have been trying to find a balance here between powerful and quiet. ---The included catch "cup". It seals airtight, which is nice, but the mouth does not line up with the grinder port when it's inserted fully. Push it too far back in and the metal lid sticks to the magnet designed to secure the portafilter adapter, but if you line it up just right with the grinder port, the vibration of the grinder tends to make it to slide out of place during grinding. The fix is to just grind directly into your filter, or take the lid off the "cup" and set it all the way in to catch your grounds. OVERALL RECOMMENDATION: ---If you mainly make drip or pour-over coffee, and/or espresso, this grinder is unbeatable unless you can afford a true professional model. Stay vigilant if it binds up (again, that's rare but potentially damaging for the motor). But if you take good care of this grinder, and spend some time customizing the settings, it will deliver superior grinds in exactly the amounts you need, every time. ---If you primarily make Press coffee, and really like extremely coarse grinds, then there is probably a better choice for you out there.

This grinder is used in our kitchen every day, often more than once. We use it for the fine, carefully adjusted grind required by our espresso machine as well as the coarser grind we prefer for our regular drip coffee maker. Moving between those two very different brewing methods is easy, and the machine has remained powerful, precise, and remarkably consistent through years of regular use. The wide range of grind settings is not just an impressive number on a product description. Small adjustments can make a very noticeable difference when dialing in espresso, while the broader settings make it equally useful for an ordinary pot of coffee. The digital timer provides another useful level of control because the dose can be adjusted in very small increments and then repeated consistently. I also appreciate being able to grind directly into a portafilter for espresso or use the included container when preparing drip coffee. We travel frequently to Colombia and have spent time at coffee plantations in the Andes Mountains. I have picked coffee and participated in the preparation and grinding of the beans, so we have developed a real appreciation for the work behind good coffee. Those experiences also taught us that even excellent beans can disappoint when the grind is inconsistent or poorly matched to the brewing method. A dependable burr grinder is therefore not an accessory we treat as an afterthought. The controls are straightforward enough for everyday use, but there is plenty of room to refine the result when changing beans or brewing methods. The display clearly communicates the grind setting, time, and selected number of shots or cups. The large hopper is practical, the conical burr mechanism handles the work without struggling, and routine cleaning is reasonably simple. Most importantly, the results remain predictable from one use to the next. There are inexpensive grinders that may be adequate for someone who only makes occasional drip coffee, and there are much more costly specialty grinders aimed at a narrow range of espresso enthusiasts. This occupies a very useful middle ground. Its versatility, precise timed dosing, broad adjustment range, sturdy construction, and long record of daily reliability make it an excellent value for a household that prepares coffee in more than one way. This has been an outstanding product for us. It pairs naturally with our Breville espresso machine, works just as well for our drip coffee, and has given us the control needed to get the best from quality beans. After years of daily use, I would choose it again without hesitation. Five stars.

I waited eight months before writing this review. I wanted to ensure the grinder would grind consistently without clogging, and that it was a quality grinder. I'm happy to say, it does, and it is. So far it has worked flawlessly. I generally grind beans twice a week. It hasn't given me any issues. It's doesn't have a big footprint. It fits perfectly into the corner of my countertop and it looks so nice in that beautiful green color. It's pretty quiet and completely reliable. It's also very easy to use and very low maintenance. I clean it with Urnex grinder tablets once a month and I remove the hopper and brush out anything that has accumulated. I use my own container to catch the coffee as it grinds because I don't like the plastic one that came with it. I tried it once and it created a lot of static and the coffee flew everywhere. Grinding the coffee directly into my stainless steel Airscape container is the perfect solution. It sits tilted at an angle and as the coffee drops into it I slowly twirl it around. That keeps the coffee from filling up too far on one side and spilling over, it also doesn't create any static so there is no mess. I use Peet's dark roast. I set this grinder to drip grind size 38, twelve cups and 60 seconds of grinding. I add a half a hopper of beans and it takes two 60 second cycles to fill my coffee container to an inch below the top and the hopper is completely empty. In my pictures I had just finished one 60 second grind cycle and was about to do a second one. You can adjust all those settings to whatever you want. I find drip size 38 to be the best grind size for my Ninja coffeemaker. I really like this grinder and I definitely recommend it.

update: 4April25 It's still running great. I though I would add this when a I read a couple of reviews that complained that it was messy.. Simple solution, get a dosing funnel. Keeps all grinds going into the portafilter. 6 year update- 19 November 2024: Still working great, no reliability issues. I have adjusted the burrs once to account for wear. I see no reason not to expect another 6 years of trouble free use. 6 month update- 7July19: Still delighted, have not experienced any problems I had to buy a new grinder because I need one that will produce a fine enough grind for a non-pressurized espresso. After some research I could only find three below $250 that can do this. This one, for $180, and the Baratza Virtuoso, for $140 and the Compresso Infinity. Reading the reviews for the Baratza it appears that you first have to get instructions from the internet on how to adjust the shims on the burrs to get very fine, (what the …?) This alone is worth the extra $40 for this one. After opening the box I was impressed with the build quality and attractive appearance. It produces consistent and even grinds, that alone is worth the $180. There are 3 features that surprised me. The first being the LCD panel, I figured this was unnecessary and perhaps cheesy, well it works great and is very useful. The second is the grind time control. I was thinking this would be a poor substitute for a built-in scale, but that is not the case. I sometimes keep it simple and make my espresso with a pressurized filter, and since grind fineness is not so critical, I use grind size setting 15, it just so happens that this size happens to grind my medium roast beans at 1 gram per second (I have a digital kitchen scale to establish this) so to make pressurized espresso I set the grind to 15 and the timer to 14 seconds and I consistently get 14 grams of perfectly ground beans! I am still playing with what grind works best for non-pressurized so I haven’t yet established what time I will need to get my 18 grams. Bottom-line, the timer is a perfectly adequate substitute for a built-in scale. The third feature is the option to dispense grinds directly into your portafilter. I figured this would be useless as it would be messy and with all the grinds left on the counter I would end up with fewer grams in the filter. Wrong again, it works great! It puts 99.9% of the grinds in a neat mound in the middle of the filter, much better than I can do by hand. With the grinds in a neat mound in the middle of the basket I can tamp them down without spilling any grinds (again, something I can’t do when putting grinds in the filter by hand)! Between even and consistent grinds, including the very fine grind size needed for non-pressurized espresso, the timer and the ability to dispense grinds directly into the filter, this is a fabulous grinder at this price and I think can hold it's own with machines at twice the price. Some complain about uneven grinds at the coarse setting. If all you want is French press coarse grinds then you don’t need an espresso focused grinder, save yourself money and buy the Cuisinart DBM-8 for only $40. Finally, the issue of reliability. All I can say for sure is that mine came in great working order, and while I have not had it long enough to vouch for long-term reliability, since it is solid and well-built I see no reason that it won’t be reliable. But if you are still worried, consider this. If you look at the reviews for most grinders and espresso machines you will see that about 2/3 rds of the scores are 5’s and 4’s, with between 15% to 20% being 1’s, primarily bitching about reliability and warning you not to buy whatever it is. Well in this case ¾’s give it a 5 or 4 and only 12% are 1’s. I see this as a testament to it’s build quality and reliability … just sayin'. If I experience issues in the future I will post an update.

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.

4.5 stars - This grinder has been a huge quality-of-life improvement for the household. The default dosing settings have proven to be spot-on as far as we’re concerned. 4 cups on the grinder is in ideal ratio to 4 cups of water in our coffeemaker. Simple. One gripe is changing the dose count on the grinder. It’s a single button that ascends in dose size, one by one, cycling through each number. It would be nice if it could be controlled by the knob, counting both up and down. The hopper keeps beans fresh. The coffee is always great. No more weighing coffee and water. The grind size is consistent enough, and so easy to adjust. It’s not unreasonably loud. Hasn’t woken anyone up. After nearly two months of daily use, we’ve experienced no clogging or excessive static issues. Much less so, in fact, than our previous ‘dumb’ grinder. It’s well worth the investment.

Admittedly I'm somewhat of a coffee "novice" - though I've been drinking coffee for almost 4 decades - my coffee making experience has been limited to mainly automatic drip or "pods" - honestly, I've not been too interested in good coffee or as in a hobby until very recently. My wife wanted an espresso maker and shortly afterwards down the rabbit hole I went. Our first purchase was a Breville Barista Express espresso machine which has a built-in grinder and works well enough for the task but may not produce grounds coarse enough for other coffee making methods (pour over, french press, drip, etc.) so rather than just live with the inexpensive blade grinder we already had I looked into a grinder that would give us that level of control and flexibility. After watching hours of reviews online my conclusion was that if I wanted to spend about four hundred dollars (grinder plus, a good set of burrs, and shipping on top) I could get a better grinder for espresso than the built-in with the Barista Express but my non-pressurized shots with the built-in grinder are pretty decent if I don't mind saying so. Which lead me to finding a grinder that my family can use for different coarse settings (easily) and doesn't require complicated re-adjustment to get to another brew method. The "easily" is the main thing - so in my opinion a "stepped" grinder is a good choice and one that's not specifically designed for espresso. I've only used the grinder a couple of times for espresso where I was trying different beans and wanted to leave the built-in grinder un changed. Some notes and observations: - the burr set appears to be the same as the stock built-in one from the Barista Express - Breville's web site seems to confirm this though only the upper/outer burr is available for purchase (when it is available). - I've not had to adjust the upper/outer burr itself - some people have reported that the factory setting is 4 and others say 6 - I'm an engineer so I've been tempted to tinker with it but I've been making far too good coffee to change things unless I have to. - there is a bit more "loss" with the stand alone grinder than with the built-in one - what I'm seeing is about .2 - .3 grams with the Smart Grinder Pro and maybe a tenth of a gram with the built-in grinder although I'm almost always grinding coarser with the Smart Grinder Pro - perhaps there's more being held back due to that. Most coffee I make with the Smart Grinder Pro isn't weighed it's volume measured so I typically grind a little more than I need so "retention" isn't an issue. - the Smart Grinder Pro is a little larger than what I'd thought when I've seen it in pictures and on video. absolutely not a deal breaker but if you're really tight on counter space you may want to measure things out or plan to re-arrange things. - there WILL BE grounds flying about - I've gotten in the habit of placing a towel under the grinder to catch the larger grounds that try to "escape" that makes cleanup a bit easier - you may not have this issue if you're grinding for espresso but for press, pour over, or drip they tend to jump out of the grinder's cup. - the display is easy to read and clear to understand - my eyesight isn't the best in the morning before I've had a cup - you can easily tell what the grind number is and where it falls on the "scale" - cups/shots and grind time is somewhat redundant - I think a lot of reviewers have called that out - it's not really an issue to start/stop/pause the grind process this feature is probably the only real "gimmicky" one - I suppose that the time or cups/shots would vary depending on grind size but as long as it has completely ground your beans and you've stopped the machine well then there you go. - this comes with a nice cup for your grounds, two portafilter adapters (54 and 58 mm). - the coarse / fine grind setting adjustment knob isn't the nicest use "experience" - the knob does feel a bit "plasticy" and "cheap" - I really don't expect a milled solid piece of stainless or anodized aluminum at this price point but I wonder how well this will hold up to years of use. - the price is a bit "high" for a conical bur grinder however - lots of ones at half the price (around $100) seem not to last as long, are more complicated to adjust or return to a setting that you can remember for the brewing method or has features such as the portafilter adapters. The ability to glance down and see that the grind number is in the range of the brewing method I'm doing is worth the extra money. The bottom line (for me at least) was that this grinder has gotten very good reviews by established "coffee folk" for good grinder for people starting out their coffee journey. Is this the G.O.A.T. grinder - I don't think so. Is it even the most consistent one - I don't believe so either - spending about $50-80 more for a flat vertical burr grinder along with a better set of burrs would likely give you better grounds but for someone who wants to grind some beans that's either not "into it" or who is just getting started I think this one makes a lot of sense. This likely will not be my last grinder - I'm certain as I become more skilled and discerning I'll want something "better" will I get rid of this one (give it to a friend / relative or donate it) probably not - there will be times where I want to grind a bag or three of beans for a large gathering and I'll dig the Breville Smart Grinder Pro out for that job - until then I'll be making 8 cups at a time with my Mr. Coffee and enjoy trying pour overs, french press and other methods.

Dear Breville Team, I am writing to express my deep disappointment regarding the Smart Grinder™ Pro, which I purchased new through your official Amazon store. After five months of intensive use, I am profoundly disillusioned, particularly because I trusted Breville as a reputable brand synonymous with quality craftsmanship. While I assume the unit did not arrive defective given its official provenance, the resulting experience speaks for itself. Despite the "Pro" designation, this grinder falls well short of professional standards. It lacks the grind consistency required for a proper espresso extraction—a flaw that any coffee enthusiast will immediately notice. Regardless of the selected setting, the grind output remains erratic. Furthermore, the tactile feedback of the adjustment dial leaves much to be desired, featuring a slight play that feels loose and unrefined. Even after adjusting the internal burrs as recommended in the manual to achieve a finer grind, reaching a standard 1:2 extraction ratio has proven impossible—a critical shortcoming for any barista. While it occasionally came close when the unit was new, this rapid decline in performance after only five months reveals poor durability and build quality. If Breville aims to compete with premier brands such as Timemore, Smeg, Simonelli, or Rocket, it will take more than aesthetically pleasing designs. True industry standing demands durability, precision, advanced engineering, and, above all, profound respect for the consumers who invest their hard-earned money in your products. This experience has thoroughly soured my view of your brand, and I can assure you that I will not purchase another product from Breville or Sage in the future. Thank you for such a regrettable introduction to your equipment. P.S. Returning the product is unfortunately unfeasible, as I am located too far from your offices or service centers.
