Breville Grinder

 

I purchased this as a Christmas present to myself and it was my best gift! I have struggled with my coffee pot that has the grinder built in and the mess that it makes every time due to steam from coffee brewing mixing with powder from ground beans. ...

Broken Grinder

I purchased this product in November 2009 and the thing worked fine. It does produce static like most other reviewers have stated, and this can cause a mess, but what coffee grinder doesn't. The important thing is that it does produce a consistent...

Great quality for a very reasonable price

 

Great quality for a very reasonable price

Couldn't be happier with this grinder. It is very quiet, provides a nice even grind and the chute empties right into the holder. The timer and on/off switch have a nice feel and provide very smooth operation. The 10, 20 & 30 second points are...

Fine Grinder

Bad-@ss little grinder!

So far I've only had it a day so I can't comment on its' longevity, but this thing grinds wonderfully! I have a breville espresso machine and needed something better than the blade grinder I had. I also do drip coffee sometimes too and this has...

Breaks easily; customer service difficult to reach

 

Breaks easily; customer service difficult to reach

Pros: The grind quality is fine while it works -- which isn't very long. Cons: Grinds remain after each grinding and if you try to clean the removable hopper into which the beans go and the removable part that connects it to the grind adjustment...
