Overview
The Breville Smart Grinder Pro is a conical burr coffee and espresso grinder with 60 grind settings, a digital timer adjustable in 0.2 second increments, and an LCD display, in brushed stainless steel.
The pitch is dose repeatability rather than just fine grinding: the digital timer, which Breville calls Dosing IQ, is what lets a setting be reproduced shot after shot instead of eyeballing grind time. It grinds straight into a portafilter, an airtight container, or a filter basket, which covers espresso and drip brewing from one machine.
- Conical burr grinder, 60 settings
- Dosing IQ digital timer in 0.2 second increments
- LCD display for setting, time and dose count
- 2 year limited warranty, 165W, 18oz hopper
Who it's for
Home coffee drinkers who make both espresso and filter coffee and want one grinder that covers the range with settings saved rather than guessed at each time.
Pros and cons
- 60 grind settings from espresso to French press
- Dose timing adjustable in 0.2 second steps
- Grinds directly into portafilter, container, or filter basket
- LCD shows setting, time, and shot or cup count
- 165 watts is modest for a burr grinder in this price range
- 18oz hopper needs refilling more often for larger households
Performance notes
The conical burrs and 60 position dial set the grind size, while the separate 0.2 second timing increments control how much is dispensed, so grind fineness and dose amount are adjusted independently rather than through one combined dial. Grinding directly into the portafilter cradle is what keeps grounds from spilling or clumping between the grinder and the espresso machine.
