Product DescriptionBarista 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.
What Others Say
Excellent!
The consistency of the grinds is very good - as opposed to my old grinder that produced all sizes from powder to chunks.
The burrs are very heavy weight, and the motor is strong so it can grind with lots of power at low RPM's, which reduces heat, noise and static, which translates to flavor!
There's no more coffee on the counter-top.
I'll be looking at Breville products for future small appliances because this design is a home-run and an excellent value!
very even grinds, great fine grinds, minimal static charging
I read a lot of reviews before deciding on this machine. There are modifications you can make to get a finer grind but the design must have been updated as it provides an extremely fine grind at the finest setting. The burs heat up and if you don't let it cool as per the instructions it will affect taste.
Just what I wanted
This Grinder works great. The only real problem is it makes it to easy to make a second pot in the mornings. The timer has been more than long enough for a 12 pot coffee maker. Also, I have no problems with stray grounds from static electricity and the grounds pour out clean and mess free all the time. To qualify, I followed the initial cleaning instructions and I only go as far as the fine grind setting for drip coffee makers.
Great quality grinder,good looks too
My husband and I are very pleased with this purchase. We both researched Breville BCG450XL Conical Burr Grinder before buying and agreed upon the Breville. So far,no complaints. We use the coarse grind setting for French press and a finer grind for automatic drip coffee. We have not used it for expresso. It's very easy to use and quiet. I also like the looks of it since it matches our coffee maker too.
