Smart Grinder Pro

You can do better for 200 .. I own it and absolutely hate it The retention is bad . I’m surprised mine still works from beating the shit out of it Look for a baratza encore esp

If you just want one, get a decent coffee burr that can do fine & coarse. Might cost more but you won’t hate your first latte or espresso. If I had to pick: Baratza Encore or Breville Smart Grinder Pro.

I recently got one of these, and it's hands down the best grinder I've ever had or even seen. You can fully disassemble them, very well built, pretty quiet.

This is my setup as well. Works great.

I have Bambino and this smart grinder pro. Been using it daily for years and no issue. Disassemble is straightforward and easy to clean. They also match in design and color.

I used a Smart Grinder Pro with my Breville Infuser for years ... and it pulled fantastic shots of light roast. You can find one used for $100 or less.

This and a Bambino Plus are a perfect duo, because If I’m not doing espresso, I can grind into the container for French press or aeropress instead. The all in one machines with built-in grinders don’t give you that kind of flexibility.

The BDB is a great machine, was my daily for 8 years, the SGP is a garbage grinder. We are in a golden era of grinders, just get as good as you can afford, don’t skimp.

Same here. I’ve had my Smart Grinder Pro for about 6 months and am already thinking I should have set my sights a bit higher. I mean, it’ll do for now because I’m broke, but one day…

I have been doing some research on single dose grinders. I was interested in the Turin, but I read in this sub a lot of people saying that it has a lot of issues with getting clogged and it isn't very durable. So I am wondering of there are other options for single dose grinders that are under $400... is it possible to get a good grinder under that price? I currently have a Breville smart grinder pro. The problem I am having with my Breville is the same thing people complain about with the Turin. It gets clogged up very frequently. And the grounds that it produces are very clumpy and inconsistent. And yes, I do take the hopper off and clean it out pretty regularly. I am wanting to use this as my drip and pourover grinder, and then get a single dose grinder for my espresso.

Good to know. I don't have a problem doing a cleaning once a week. On the weekend, when I'm not in a rush for work. My Breville smart pro doesn't always make it to the weekend before clogging up.  My next question, to you or anyone else that wants to chime in is: The DF64 costs about the same as the Eureka Mignon zero 55s, so what would you say are the benefits of one over the other?
