Review: Important to know - disregard some bad reviews - 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.
Review: Reliable and Satisfying. - It brings back such lovely memories grinding the coffee just the way you like it, filling the kitchen with that warm, comforting aroma. Seeing the grounds come out so nice and even makes me happy, because I know the coffee will brew smoothly and taste just right. And the fact that it’s not clumpy shows the grinder is doing its job well, which makes those little daily moments feel easier. Pros: The grind looks so consistent perfect for making a good cup of coffee, whether it’s to share with family and friends or for that quick, much-needed cup in the busy morning. There are hardly any clumps, which can be a problem with cheaper grinders, so that’s a real relief and makes the whole process feel more reliable and satisfying. The noise level is moderate.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: An issue with my old grinder was the dark bean oil residue, do you know if this cleaning brush will fit in the container? http://amzn.to/2kKnCb1**
A: To thoroughly remove any coffee oil residue, use a grinder cleaning product called, "Urnex" they also make a more "natural" version called, "Full Circle". They are cleaning tablets made just for burr coffee grinders. You just set the grinder to a medium to coarse setting, then add one capful of the tabs, grind them through, then use your brush to clean all the parts as usual. The tablets will sweep away any coffee grounds remaining inside the machine and absorb the leftover coffee oils that would become rancid if left behind. Hope this helps.

**Q: Just got this machine and every time I run it, it starts grinding, then slows down and makes a horrible knocking sound. Have to tear it apart..defect?**
A: My original purchase started laboring at the 12 grind setting with Starbucks French Roast beans within a few days. While I did not get a knocking sound, the grind output is light of what it should be. After re-reading all the great reviews, I decided that I must have just gotten a bad machine. The second one is exhibiting the same laboring behavior within a day of opening the box. I'm not a grinder expert but this sounds to me like a motor which is under powered for the job.

**Q: Is the smart grinder pro the same mechanically as the dose control pro?  i'm looking for good consistency for both coarse and drip.**
A: The BCG820BKSXL Smart Grinder Pro differs from the BCG600SIL Dose Control in that the Smart Grinder is calibrated much more specifically towards espresso purposes, and while the Dose Control has espresso levels it does not share the same range for micro-adjustment as is often necessary to achieve higher end espresso results. Further internal and operational differences include functional differences in terms of programming, component and material upgrades, etc.

**Q: We are hoping to pull about 50 shots a day, once a week.  Can it hold up?**
A: This is something I haven't tried, however maybe I can shed some light on it. The manual warns against heavy use. 
"Do Not operate this appliance for longer than 2 minutes at a time . . . " ;  
"Allow 2 minutes to cool after each use."; 
"Allow the appliance to cool down 10-15 minutes after long operation."
Also, my grandson has opened his 2nd coffee shop. Since December, he purchased this unit to use for his decaf customers only. (2-3 / day).  He is already ordering a part that is wearing out.  In saying that, it is apparently a 'known defect' with some Breville grinders.  (see the reviews). 

Note: Since Breville does not supply parts, he is having one made by a 3rd party vendor who has a 3-D printer. I love my grinder, but this problem with the 'known defect' and Breville for not supplying parts is very frustrating.  I will order this part to have on hand. 

Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Electric Burr Grinder
*by D***T on October 31, 2021*

For years I’ve done grinding with a hand grinder, and honestly I’m convinced that’s the best/quietest/cleanest way to grind your own coffee. But with a new baby and increased work scheduled constantly hand grinding finally got to be too much. I settled on this one for a number of reasons: 1) The Breville brand. I’ve always found their appliances to be good quality with well thought out designs. 2) Based on review videos online this seemed to be one of the quieter electric grinders. 3) Easy to use interface with more than just a simple timer. 4) Capable grinding different sizes from French press coarse to finer grinds for drip and aero press with plenty of setting to fine tune for personnel preference. So far it’s been a great grinder and It seems to be of quality build. Definitely feels sturdy. Do not expect whisper quiet, I do not think that’s ever going to be a thing for electric grinders, but it was definitely quieter than some of the others I’ve seen. My newborn infant gives it zero thumbs up… because he’s somehow still asleep while in the same room 20ft. away, but YMMV. For me that’s a decent sound level. The grind levels are great. There are almost too many to chose from, but it does give you plenty of options to find your perfect grind. I use a drip brewer during the week (automated/quicker) and a pour over (preferred) on the weekends. I’ve found different grind levels that I like for both. And having so many grind size options means it’s easy to adjust for bolder/lighter coffee as needed. My only real issue with the grinder, and this seems to just be another thing for electric grinders is the mess. Breville tried to make it a close fit between the output shoot and the container that catches the grinds, but some does escape, and some of the grinds static cling to the inside of the lid and jar. All to say, you end up with some on your counter when you grind and when you open the container to move the ground coffee to your preferred brewer. Nothing a quick wipe with a paper towel can’t take care of. One last note: Most electric grinders, this one included, run based on a predetermined time. Cheaper ones leave the amount of time up to you to figure out. The Breville bases the time on number of selected cups and your grind size. If the time doesn’t match up for you, it’s easy to reprogram the machine to a time that better matches your expectations. Personally I still find it easier to weigh my beans first (a cheap 500g scale is highly recommend, and had many uses in the kitchen) then place them in the hopper. This way even if your timing is off you still end up with the right amount. Either way you choose, I believe this is a great grinder for the money and hopefully will last for many years like the other Breville products we’ve had over the years.
