Smart Grinder Pro

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

ESP Pro is a solid call — conical burrs, simple, and tends to handle darker/oily beans without freaking out. Also check Breville Smart Grinder Pro or used Baratza Sette if you wanna save cash; get a 54mm tamper (metal, good weight) and maybe a naked/stock portafilter upgrade for easier dosing and le

Also new here but you’re gonna need a better grinder for espresso IMO the best economy grinder seems to be the breville smart grinder pro for sub 250usd

I had one (Breville SGP)...it's "ok" and can work as a cheap option to see if you want to get into the hobby (you can get a used one easily most likely), but if you enjoy good espresso as made by actually skilled baristas at cafes, it won't be good enough, imho.

I've had a Breville SGP for years and am happy with it. Use it mainly for espresso and batch brew and my hand grinder for pour over/Aeropress/phin. I've worked professionally in the coffee world and have used all sorts of grinders. A good grinder does make a difference, but for the price point, I'm
