Breville Smart Grinder Pro vs Hario Mini Mill

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

I use it primarily for grinding turkish coffee (1 click) and for pour-over drip grind for individual cups (9 clicks). I don't think there's as cheap a grinder that does turkish fine, so there's no real comparison there. For one or two tiny cups, it takes as much time to grind the beans as it does for the water to heat in the ibrik, For regular drip coffee, I do notice a difference in odor and flavor with the Hario compared to the whirly. My wife however can't tell the difference, so be warned: no everyone finds burr grinders worth the trouble

* Clear acrylic (methyl methacrylate) bottom chamber allows checking the grounded coffee. * I like the handle hangs on the unit for storage. Cons: * Uneven grind for medium roasted beans (Full City). * Difficult (even impossible) to grind light roasted beans (American to City)

If anything, I think the Major Dickason's doesn't taste as sweet as the Gaia pre-ground, but I cannot tell whether it's because of the difference between the coffees, or because the grinding makes the coffee worse. I bought a can of the Kirkland Decaf (48ozs at $13), and the big difference seems to be that the pre-ground stuff is much harder to push through the Aeropress than the self-grounded coffee. And honestly, if you took away the grinder and made me drink the kirkland decaf, except for the missing caffeine, I'm not sure I'd prefer the self-ground coffee. I'll keep the grinder, if only because a lot of variety of coffee beans don't come pre-ground, and I really don't feel like grinding it at the Costco grinders which don't ever seem to get cleaned

Truly frugal shoppers willing to sweat can go with the $40 Bialetti Manual Grinder while those seeking convenience should select the $200 Oxo Barista Brain grinder and its built-in scale.

I recently went for the Hario Mini Mill Pro (slightly fancier, metal body, probably the same on the inside). After all the research I could muster I came to the conclusion that the Hario is the best I could get at this price point, and even Hoffman was quite pleased with his. Can't say if the Rhino is good or not, haven't stumbled across it in my research.

-This unit is slower than the Baratza Sette 270. The Sette gets your espresso in the portafilter in ~4 seconds, this machine takes ~17.5 seconds. -Another issue is that although there is a pause functionality on the grinder, it isn't really useful because the damn thing resets the timer after about 10-15 seconds

3. Go slow. You are only grinding a few tablespoons of coffee here, its not a race. 4
