Product Description: Barista grade control for a variety of coffee grinds. The removable bean hopper holds 1/2 a pound of coffee beans. The motor drives the bottom burrs and the top plate is stationary. The distance you position them apart precisely determines grind size. The easy-to-read settings allow for grind choices from ultra-fine for Turkish coffee to large and coarse for percolators.

Rating: - Stylish Grinder Results in Tasty Lattes
I purchased this Breville grinder three or so weeks ago to replace a Starbuck's-branded conical burr grinder that died after years of faithful service. I am using it to grind espresso beans for an old Estro Profi espresso machine to make my morning lattes.
I have been very pleased with this Breville grinder. Compared to the one it replaced, it is quieter (although still a bit noisy - it IS a grinder, after all!) and produces a more consistent grind. I have more control over the exact fineness of the grind than I used to have, resulting in a latte in which I can really taste the ... Read More
Rating: - Breville conical coffee grinder
This product does an excellent job at grinding coffee beans, however, like other reviewers have said, the grind holder/hopper is cheaply made and the grinds fly all over the place when the hopper is removed and emptied...sort of like static electricity. As such, I have to empty the hopper over the sink, and even then grinds are everywhere and stick to the top of the hopper. A very messy product. Afterwards, I have to wipe down the counter top and sweep up the floor. I like the fact that you can select the grind...but with the mess afterwards, it simply is not worth the $100+ price.
Rating: - Great grinder for the money
I purchased this item about a month ago. For the money, you can't beat it. It generates good even grinds, comparable to what you get with the commercial grinders. It's also relatively quiet, and easy to use. Build quality is very good.
The only downsides are the oddly shaped ground coffee container, and the hideous static electricity problem. I'm used to handling the container now, but on certain beans (not all, oddly enough...) the static charge makes it all but impossible to get the ground coffee from the container to the pot without losing some. To be fair, all grinders have some static ... Read More
Rating: - Good and bad
Like other reviews, the plus with this unit is the noise factor and lack of static buildup. It's a decent grinder for drip and other coarser grind styles, but I can see how it might not be excellent for espresso machines. The rating would have been higher other than the on/off switch just snapped off 9 months after purchase. A call to customer service rendered a lethargic rep who said they would e-mail a fed-ex return slip for warranty service that I have yet to receive 4 days later, this after a follow up call that was never returned. I hate to have to spend a couple hundred bucks on a reliable ... Read More
