Crew Review
Pros
- Super Affordable - Given the functionality and beautiful design touches, the Breville grinder is an excellent value
- Great Results - Reviewers are unanimous - this grinder delivers excellent quality and precise grinds based on easy to operate settings
- Quiet - This grinder produces as little as 50% of the noise of your standard commercial grinder
|
Cons
- Static Monster Mess - Reviewers are almost complete unanimous about the mess you make by removing pieces of this machine (to clean or empty grounds). Despite "anti-static" claims, this grinder is famous for spreading grinds a bit farther than it should
- Not Green? - Surprisingly, the Breville doesn't have an auto-off power save mode, which means it continues to draw energy even when it's off. Unplug for maximum energy saving

Features & Accessories
How can Breville's grinder change your coffee routine? In just about every way! Learn how the built-in, commercial grade grinder works its magic with your beans.
Components & Functionality
- Major Grinder: The removable burr grinding plates are designed to operate with a low RPM (rotations per minute) so that your beans maintain the flavor profile designed by your roaster. Fortunately, the designers of the Breville also took your eardrums into account, and this unit is much quiter than many other grinders on the market.
- Variable Timer: Why leave your grind up to a random factory pre-set grind time? As you're more comfortable with what you want from your grind, you can use the variable timer to set precise timeframes.
- Capacity: The removable bean hopper holds .5lbs (230 grams) of beans, and the easy-to-read settings on the side show you how position the plates to achieve the perfect grind for your ideal type of coffee.
- Easy-Clean Grind Unit: The grind elements aren't removable for fun - you can and should pull the burrs from the machine for occasional cleaning. The design of the system in the Breville makes that easier than most other grinders.
