Smart Grinder Pro

Are people recommending grinders based on actual daily use or just specs?

Meanwhile something like Encore ESP seems boring, but people actually stick with it lon

Breville’s great, though most people here won’t recommend a machine with a built in grinder. That one comes with a Smart Grinder Pro, which is great for most bean types specially if you’re into Italian espresso/based drinks. You could go for a Bambino Plus and spend the rest ($600ish) on a much bett

for the price of the Breville Smart Grinder Pro, there are so many better options. hell, breville owns baratza, and the encore esp is the same price. and if you're single dosing, the df54 is only a little bit more expensive. bambino is a good option though. one of the best bang for buck at that pric

I used the Barista Pro for a while and think it’s a good machine for most people who just want some decent espresso. What I don’t like about it is the built in grinder. I’ve

Taste difference was significant from Breville Smart Grinder Pro to Eureka Mignon grinder, it has a lot more clarity and tastes much better
