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.
Pros :well builtgood setting range and intelligent programming insure consistent grind.
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!
At ~300 cad this is no bargain, but it's probably the best available in this price range.
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
Looks awesome next to our new breville espresso machine!
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.
You cannot buy genuine breville impellers anywhere and the after market ones are useless.
It is noisy, not as much as a previous one from another brand, but, it is a grinder.
But after a closer look and some use you see that it’s better than other entry level grinders but more expensive.

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
