Smart Grinder Pro

I’ve played with a lot of coffee equipment over the years. While I don’t have a breville on my coffee bar, I really like them! 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

I think it depends on how many espressos youre making everyday. I use a manual grinder for an americano every morning and its really only 30 seconds of grinding for a really dialed in grind. if I have to make 4 cappuccinos? im using my slightly subpar electric grinder (I have an older breville smart

Breville makes great brewers but poor grinders. This is true of both built in grinders on Barista/Oracle machines and separate grinders such as Smart Grinder Pro.

I have a Breville Smart Grinder Pro, and even though it is much much more expensive, it still performs only a bit better than the K4. Only the Mahlkönig I h

Yeah, I think I agree with you for someone who wants to really get into espresso. But for someone who just wants lattes I think the Breville combos aren’t a bad option. I had a Breville Smart Grinder Pro before I got an Option-O Lagom Casa and although the Breville SGP wasn’t good/great, it was perf

The best value machine in Australia is Breville Dual Boiler. In the rest of the world, we pay double what you do, and it is still considered a good value. It may lack in build quality, but it will brew espresso as good as any $4000 machine. Once the warranty is over, there are some informative threa
