I've had this coffee grinder for 5 years, it hasn't missed a beat and it still going strong. Occasionally the lid gets fussy but this is rare and it always does the coffee and spices perfectly. I need a new lid as a small piece broke off 2 weeks ago when I dropped it but after so long of near-perfect operation I can't complain, and the machine still works perfectly.

Was a decent grinder, though was using it once every week to 2 weeks, for the last 18 months - so not heavy use. THEN plugged it in to grinds some coffee, and whammo - smoke filled room, and as it was 6 months out of warranty, no assistance, and when I called customer care they we very nonchalant about it.
Soooo...I would not recommend this unit, as for the possibility of owning a dud item.
Compact
Longevity

We got this to grind spices, after our trusty one finally died. Turns out it was a good thing as the Breville grinder BCG300 is the real god of grinders. After dry roasting spices including Cinnamon sticks the previous grinder left bits, the Breville ground all down to a delightful powder.
The best I've had, would get another.

Bought this grinder about a year ago and noticed the negative comments. I had to write something to credit what a grinder this is. We use it daily, the measuring and grind level dials are great. We often cook curries and use it to grind spices also. Nothing better than freshly ground!! Tastes so much better!!

For a kitchen grinder it is great and has a designated place on our kitchen bench. Neat with the retractable power lead too. Great that the hopper is removable for cleaning also.
Reliable, smart design, great function

We bought this grinder 18 months ago. It would often not work until you fiddled with the base and lid. It is very temperamental - which you do not want with a coffee grinder! I should have sent it back whilst still under warranty but it always started working again. Now it has completely stopped working. I would not recommend this coffee grinder.

I bought one when I got coffee machean it hardly got used as my friends always bring beans ground for me . It stoped working 1 month in so is thought it must have just been the one off . I got anouther one the same and it stoped 1-2 months after its junk don't buy one
It ground beans when it worked
It just stoped working

Have had this grinder for over a year and I could say it's easily the best grinder I've owned. I have been grinding seeds and nuts for many years and gone through various different brands but none have been as good as this one. One of the advantages is that you can take the cup off and wash it. I use it virtually on a daily basis and find it always works well.
Works consistently well. Easy to clean.

Hey man, it was pretty expensive, but when it comes down to it, very worthwhile.

I took it home unwrapped it and chucked a few buds in there. Now I have been through many coffee grinders like this before, however, this one is very easy to clean.

A for product quality
C- for price.
Easy to use, looks nice, easy to clean.
Expensive

When it works, it is good. It stopped working a month after the warranty period. Looking at previous reviews, it is something that a potential buyer should be aware of.
Range of settings
Machine breaking after warranty period

While easy to use, a combined spice / coffee grinder is not up to the task. Will not be buying a Breville when I replace this grinder.
You can select the amount of coffee beans to grind and coarseness of the grind.
Am about to return the 2nd one in less than a year as both just stopped working. Doesn't seem to be a very robust device if used regularly (on average twice a day in our house). Also I don't think that it grinds the beans finely enough for an expresso machine.
