Pros & Cons
Pros
This grinder is one of the best available, it produces a consistent grind and once you have the grind time and grind size dialled in for your coffee machine, it consistently produces excellent grinds. Clean up is a breeze, as the components can be eas... Read More
At ~300 cad this is no bargain, but it's probably the best available in this price range. No more grind shooting in all directions. The grind range is very good.
Cons
For the time that it worked, it was absolutely outstanding. Would not buy again. No exchange, refund or anything. Very disappointed with the poor quality of breville products.
Can't be repaired at a local professional repair shop. No replaceable part. Breville asks for 120 $ to be shipped for an estimate. Other legal options in quebec probably aren't worth it for $300.
Highlights
Quality
Provides consistent and properly measured grinds every time.
It is fairly easy to clean and is well made.
My previous grinder produced an inconsistent grind, from too coarse to powdery.
I have had rotary coffee grinders for decades and they are much louder than this one.
Price
Very satisfied, particularly with the prime day pricing!
Cost on the high side, but very good quality and i suspect it'll be the last grinder i ever buy
If you are looking for a great grinder but don't want to spend a lot of money, this is the one to get!
It was a little more than i wanted to spend on a coffee grinder but the investment was well worth it.
Packaging/appearance
It looks great next to my breville machine and it was easy to dial in just the right amount of coffee
Competitiveness
More expensive products have not worked as well as the breville.
I tried a cuisinart grind and brew and that thing's burr grinder is terrible.
It is noisy, not as much as a previous one from another brand, but, it is a grinder.
Some reviews have complained about it being noisy, but i don't know what they are comparing it to.

I needed a more robust grinder though as i grind all my own coffee and the one on the express is not intended for the demands of repeatedly grinding large volumes of coffee at once
