Pros
Cons
Consistent dosing for an easier coffee making process
This grinder makes it super easy to make the same coffee over and over. No more measuring out or fiddling about with the right amount of grind for my portafilter. Can just put the portafilter in and it grinds straight into the basket.

Nice bit of kit
I bought this primarily to grind specialty coffees for the moka pot. The grind settings are almost infinite, it fits the moka funnel in place of the portafilter & is a great addition to our coffee drinking habit

Does it's Job
Does it's job, we use it for espresso so once we tuned it we don't need to adjust all too much. Has options for different sized portafilters.

Favourite ser & forget daily coffee grinder.
Excellent daily use product you can dial in your grind preferences. Push to set grind time - even remembers if power is switched off. My second one, why? The motor circuit does not have a built in over load safety. So if you accidentally grind a twig or small rock which can rarely happen in roast coffee or you grind more than 2 minutes without a 20 minute rest. You can let the smoke out of the motor windings if you are not quick enough to remove power. It's a really great.grinder just needs a motor overload / over heat automatic cut out which may have been left out by Breville like many kitchen appliance manufacturers they design for disposal & repurchase. Otherwise excellent daily grnd consistency of the set & forget for home use.

Great grinder for the price
Great overall product. Easy to adjust, simple to clean and gives a good cup of coffee. Lacks the finer grinder adjustment of more expensive grinders though

Q: Is this just a grinder or a full coffee machine
A: This model is a standalone coffee grinder, not an espresso machine or coffee maker. It grinds whole beans for espresso, filter and plunger brewing, then the ground coffee is used in a separate machine or manual brewer.
Q: Does the dose control work by time or by weight
A: Breville The Smart Grinder Pro controls dose by grind time, using a digital timer in 0.2 second increments. That makes repeat doses easier to match, but it does not replace weighing coffee for the tightest dose control.
Q: How practical is it for households brewing different coffee styles
A: Breville The Smart Grinder Pro suits mixed brew routines because it has 60 grind settings and an adjustable upper burr. That gives more room to move between espresso, filter and plunger styles than a grinder set up for one range.
Q: Can it grind for moka pot as well as espresso
A: Yes. The Smart Grinder Pro covers very fine espresso grinding through to coarser settings for brewed coffee, so moka pot sits within its usable range. Expect a few small setting changes when changing beans or brew method.
Q: Does it grind straight into a portafilter or a container
A: Yes. Breville The Smart Grinder Pro can dispense directly into a portafilter or into the included grounds container. That makes it workable for single espresso shots and for grinding a larger batch for brewed coffee.
Q: Will this grinder be noisy on a quiet kitchen bench
A: Breville The Smart Grinder Pro is not a quiet grinder. Its grinding noise can be noticeable in a quiet kitchen, especially on longer runs, so it suits buyers who prioritise grind control more than low-noise operation.
