Breville Conical Burr Coffee Grinder, 60 Settings

Its 60 grind settings give you room to move from espresso-fine grounds to a coarser French press grind without switching grinders. That range is the main reason to consider the Smart Grinder Pro if you like adjusting your brew method at home.

The programmable timer adjusts in 0.2-second increments, so you can tune how long the grinder runs instead of relying only on a preset dose.

If you prioritize dialing in grind and dose, those controls are useful, if you prefer a simpler grinder with fewer choices, this one may involve more setup than you need.

Getting the most from it

Choose a setting for your brew method, then use the timer to adjust the amount ground. The LCD shows the selected grind setting, grind time, and chosen number of shots or cups, which makes it easier to see what you’re changing between brews. Pre-programmed settings offer a starting point, while the 0.2-second adjustments let you make smaller changes to the grinding time.

You can grind directly into a portafilter, an airtight container, a gold-tone filter basket, or a paper filter. For a practical morning routine, set the portafilter in its cradle, select a setting, and grind into it rather than transferring grounds from a separate container. Two portafilter cradles are included: one for 50–54 mm portafilters and another for 58 mm. A lidded grounds container and cleaning brush are also part of the package.

The bean hopper holds 18 oz. The listed power is 165 watts, with a 110–120-volt rating. If your routine depends on matching a specific particle-size range, the product details don’t provide one, so you’d be choosing without that measurement.

Why it’s worth it

The appeal is control across several brew styles, not just a large number on a settings dial. A basic grinder with fewer adjustments may suit someone who makes the same kind of coffee every day and wants minimal decisions. This Breville is more relevant if you switch between espresso and coarser brewing, or want to fine-tune the grind time as you work toward a repeatable dose.

The timer’s small increments and the display make those adjustments visible, while the range of grind settings supports different brewing approaches. Still, 60 settings alone don’t guarantee a particular result in your cup, the right choice depends on your beans and brewing setup. The product information also doesn’t specify a measured grind range, so buyers who need that detail should account for its absence.

Worth considering if you want one grinder for several brew methods and value programmable control. It may not suit you if you want a very straightforward grinder and don’t expect to change settings or doses often.

Key takeaways

• 60 settings are intended to cover espresso through French press and other brew methods.
• Grind time is programmable in 0.2-second increments, and the LCD displays setting, time, and selected shots or cups.
• Grounds can go into a portafilter, airtight container, gold-tone filter basket, or paper filter.
• Included portafilter cradles fit 50–54 mm and 58 mm portafilters, the hopper capacity is 18 oz.

Should you buy it?

Choose the Smart Grinder Pro if you’ll use its range of settings, want to adjust grind time precisely, and appreciate grinding directly into your preferred brewing vessel. It’s a less compelling fit if you only need a fixed setting for one routine or would rather avoid dialing in. Before choosing, make sure the included portafilter cradle sizes match yours if you plan to grind directly into a portafilter, and check that the 110–120-volt rating works for your setup.
