For this machine, I've used a Breville SGP grinder, and it works very well with a medium/dark roast coffee at grind level 6, with a naked portafilter. But currently, I prefer to use it with a hand grinder.

I have both the smart grinder and the encore esp. The smart grinder is better. Anyone that says otherwise doesn't have a direct comparison . Encore is manual, has far more retention and I find more inconsistent. I have to change the grind size on it just getting through a single bag of 250g beans. A

Its funny really because most people getting into this are told to go super high on the grinder end and while there is some validity to that, I think it also is a little OTT. The Breville Smart Grinder Pro does a great job. There is actually a video online by a coffee guy where he used a smart grind

Just saw your comment. Yeah, I think the general consensus is bigger and more expensive is better but thats really not the case. The Bambino and SGP as you have seen too is perfectly fine. As for why i adjusted the inside grind setting. It was because I had seen a video online which said it will let

Use beans from "Beanery" , buy their organic espresso beans. They sell 1/2 pound. Buy Breville smart grinder pro and grind them at Number 9 or lower. Espresso will come out.

Hey brother, I read that you use the Breville Dose Control Pro. I used to use the Breville Smart Grinder Pro as my daily grinder before I had the budget to upgrade. What helped me a lot with finer grinds is adjusting the inner burr. Have you done that by chance? That helps a lot. Breville grinders b

I have the same grinder. The Smart Grinder Pro by Breville. Primarily using it for espresso grounds… I see in the discussion that it’s not necessarily the best and has some inconsistencies. I have enjoyed it so far but struggle understanding what the setting targets should be… What should the timing

For electric grinders in that range - the Breville Dose Control Pro (also called Smart Grinder Pro depending on region) is probably the best all-rounder at around $200. It has enough fine adjustment for espresso and is dead simple to use. The Baratza Encore ESP is another solid pick around $180 - Ba

Ich habe damals die sage smart grinder pro in Verbindung mit einer Sage dual boiler Ses920 als dynamic duo gekauft. Kann bislang weder negatives, noch besonders positives berichten. Die Mühle ist in Ordnung. Partikelverteilung ist ok. Grind by time lässt sich in 0,2s Schritten verstellen. Die Mühle

Unless you want an integrated grinder machine, just buy an Infuser and OPV mod it. It’s the Barista Express without the grinder. Some of the stuff you liked about the BBE are really just a result of the older thermocoil tech vs the thermojet in the Bambino and other Breville machines. Manual steamin
