I used a blade grinder for years, but it was inadequate for grinding the beans I used in my coffee press. This is a great coffee grinder. Now I get perfectly ground coffee every time.
This is the best grinder I have bought. It is perfect for making expresso
They make this a difficult feat. I tried contacting Breville customer service. Not impressed for being only 5 months old. This grinder seemed to work smoothly for about 4 months. About a month ago, however, it began to take more cycles to grind a serving of beans. Now the grinder takes forever to grind beans and the grinder is getting hot and smoking.I hope to send it back.
The ground coffee cup empties more easily (less coffee sticking) than most.Very easy to change the grind. I love that it's fast and quiet. Pretty good capacity.I don't know what else someone would want in a grinder for home use.Many of the parts are plastic, but except for the lid on the ground coffee catcher (which seems a little flimsy - but adequate), they're pretty heavy duty plastic.
This grinder does the job fine, but it's always rather warm, which means it's sucking a fair amount electricity even when not in use. I leave it unplugged when I'm not grinding.The lid hinges on the grind basket are flimsy and I expect I'll break them one day.
