Breville Smart Grinder Pro

Now the Smart Binder Pro can get through those, but we wouldn't recommend this grinder to someone doing ten espressos a day using them. On the other h...

Breville [only makes one burr and all of its grinders and machines use the same burrs. But the solution isn’t very difficult here. Breville acquired Baratza last year, and with it, they not have a lineup of great grinders. The Oracle and Barista Pro could be great machines, if the built in grinder was a Sette 270 instead of a Smart Grinder Pro…..

I bought this to keep up with the amount of grinding espresso I am doing per day... I make maybe 15-20 cups of coffee per day and my Breville grinder that is attached to the Breville Pro could not keep up. After only a month, this grinder is starting to slow down and sound like it's wearing out much...

The taste was just nice!. I am now thoroughly caffeinated even though I only finished the last espresso completely.

This coffee grinder has amazing features with medium sound noise if you’re looking for drip coffee grinder it will work well it is appliance quality if you’re looking for espresso machine grinder it’s left a lot to be desired it may be that it made to work with Breville espresso machine I don’t know...

If you are coming from an entry level setup, like Breville, put your money first in the grinder and then second into the espresso machine. I went from an Breville Smart Grinder Pro to an Eureka Atom 75 while keeping the Breville Infuser as the machine.

The $200 Breville Smart Grinder Pro (£160 in the UK, roughly AU$264 in Australia) coffee grinder uses steel burrs to crush beans into coffee grounds suitable for espresso, drip, cold brew and French press. Even so, it's expensive, complex to operate, and makes mistakes when grinding for pots of drip...

So I returned it, expanded my budget. I walked into Sur La Table and asked for the best grinder they had which was a Breville Smart Grinder for around $200 - an insane amount of money in my thought process. I'm now choking the machine and dialing it in, but boy - I had absolutely no idea about what espresso grinds actually are supposed to look like. And even now, if I search through this thread it won't take long for me to find out how inadequate my grinder is lol.

TL;DR: this is a great value burr coffee grinder for those who want to make good quality drip coffee and espresso at home. If you use a bottomless filter basket (real espresso), then the Smart Grinder Pro will do the trick. If you're making espresso with a pressurized filter basket, the Smart Grinde...
