Best Grinder I’ve had yet!

I love this grinder and that I can custom set my grind times for any drink I make.  It’s also quieter than my old burr grinder (not to say that it’s quiet) and grinds more consistently.

Espresso grinding

The Smart Grinder Pro works well, producing a consistent grind that works nicely with my La Pavoni espresso machine.  I like having the ability to grind directly into my portafilter.  The only issues I've encountered are that a bean occasionally gets stuck falling part way between the grinder burrs and I have to move it with the cleaning brush.  Also, whenever the grinder loses power, it reverts to factory settings when powered back up, so you need to pay attention to resetting your preferred grind size and time of grind afterwards.  The 17.9 second default time overfills my portafilter and spills some, so I prefer 15 seconds of grind for a doppio.

Older model was better

Bought this model about 9 months ago to replace an older version of this grinder  that I'd used daily for the 8 years prior (one day it just stopped working...) I wanted to replace with a new version of the grinder that had treated me well for so long. I'm disappointed that this one has an issue where the coffee beans get hung up in the hopper and I have to hit the machine to get the beans to flow into the grinder while its grinding. Otherwise it just spins away without grinding any coffee. I have to stay close while it grinds as it does this almost every time I use it. My old model never did this. Otherwise I have been happy but this "babysitting" is quite annoying

Impeller wears quickly and no replacement part available.

I love Brevelle products, but the BCG820XL coffee grinder has some design flaws. I grind enough grounds for a 12-cup pot daily. It worked perfectly for about two to three months. However, after that point the same setting started yielding less and less grounds. Now I have to run two 85-second grinds just to get enough grounds for 12 cups even with regular cleaning. I was finally able to get a return call from Brevelle only to be told I needed to talk to a different department. I wanted on hold for 80 minutes before hanging up. Doing some research online the problem appears to be the lower impeller wears out and Brevelle does not offer a replacement. I still love our other Brevelle products, but very disappointed with this one.

OMG So Sad

Love this grinder! Bought it in 2014 & love the grinds we get for our espresso, french press, pour over, & had used drip & Keurig. Sad part....it is starting to play up. The â€˜digital' indicator is not responding to selecting grind type & when grinding it jumps around more, so not sure what grind we are actually getting. Cleaned it fairly regularly. Cleaning it did no remedy the issue. It is well past it's 1 yr warranty, but was hoping to find email contact info to see if problem is fixable. Maybe Breville will see this and contact me with the fix. I hate the idea of sending it to landfill :worried:

Perfect Grinder -- Wish Breville Would Stand By It

The grinder itself is perfect -- easy to use and clean, while offering everything one would need.  However, for Breville to NOT HAVE ENOUGH INVENTORY to cover replacement parts bothers us enormously!  We "invested" in Breville, paying top-dollar prices, hoping that it would not be discontinued within a year or two, or not being able to purchase additional and/or REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE LIFE OF THE ITEM, which, unfortunately, is not the case.  Breville people, PLEASE STAND BY YOUR PRODUCTS for the LIFE OF YOUR PRODUCTS, by making the parts available!  Is that not the real reason you (Breville) designed and manufactured a great product?

*thought* it was great

Delivered 8/4/2020 so in 4 months this expensive machine appears to be useless. No longer grinds the coffee. I've cleaned it per instructions many many many times. Finally I pushed something up the chute (no advice in the product booklet about this! ) and so much finely ground coffee came out. I thought it was blocked. It started working again. Once. Then stopped again. And I don't grind it finely but very coarse. How did all that finely ground coffee end up there when I don't grind on a fine setting? I'll see if they'll honor the warranty but I wish I did not have to deal with this!

Excellent grinder

I have used this grinder model since around 2009. It is far and away the best I have had. The first one gave up the ghost after about 8 years (motor) but I immediately purchased a new one. I like the ability to preset all settings once, then each day just press the grind button and it runs. An interesting feature of the design is the catch cup has a metal cap which positively clicks into position when correctly placed. The effect of this feature is that the catch cup is now grounded, eliminating the static electricity other grinders experience which causes the ground coffee to stick to the sides of the cup. One comment: the bean container holds less than a pound, probably about 13 ounces max. This differs from the published spec of 18 ounces.
