always wanted a barista style coffee machine but waited until black friday sales to pull the trigger on this set. Absolutely love it. Grinder and machine both super easy to use, clean and maintain but my favourite would have be the steam wand. hubby doesn't drink coffee so i use it to make his hot chocolates - comes out beautifully. thick, velvety and creamy. Steam jet is powerful, and the dual boiler means i can extract my coffee and steam milk at the same time! highly recommended

I am by no means a coffee snob but my partner is and she says while the product is always the most important factor, this machine is the best she has used personally. I am happy with the ability to have people over and put out multiple cups of consistently good coffee, plus it's quiet and easy to clean which always is a bonus.

I've had this unit over a year now, and it's been great. 5 coffees per day everyday without failure!

The settings are easy to change and the unit is easy enough to clean, my only critiscism is a small one, but sometimes you might get a new coffee that you want to try without finishing the last bag...but you have to grind the last bit out or try and move the last few beans by hand.(again very small issue)

Upgraded from a "classic" grinder and the dosing on this one is fantastic.
Been using it for almost 2 years now and thanks to it everyone in the family can make perfect espresso shots as the dose is always right.
For the price and quality, it beats a lot of very expensive Italian/professional grinders.

Had a Breville Dual Boiler coffee machine, and was looking for the Grinder. Initially compared several grinders but at last decided to purchase the BES 920 to go with the coffee machine. The grinder has various level of setting, and you can adjust according to your own preference. Would definitely recommend it!

Do not look any further for a grinder. This will be the best buy you have made. I have used it for almost a year and cannot find fault in it at all. The smart option of remembering the grinder times for one or two shots ensure that you only ever adjust the grind size which makes a better shot. It is consistent in grinding coffee which is what you require.

A couple of years ago I treated myself to this Breville Smart Grinder BCG820 along with the Breville Dual Boiler BES920 after reading too many reviews and advice from Ozbargain - they've both been in daily use since and haven't missed a beat - one of my best ever purchases

This was a great purchase for us. We got the machine and grinder and we love it. We had been using a delongi magnifica and the quality doesnt compare. The Breville was only half the price of the delonghi but makes 10 time better coffee. You cant get a better tasting coffee using the breville. We love it and highly recommend to all those that appreciate a good coffee.

The grinder does the job perfectly. It is easy to refill and easy to pull apart and clean if necessary. The settings are easy to work with which allows you to set the timer and the the finer/coarse settings as per your needs. Would highly recommend anyone looking at this as a add on to their coffee machine.

Awesome grinder I bought it approx ten months ago. together with BS920 from Harvey Norman. It was special offer.It does perfectly grinds coffee beans. You can adjust the grind amount Highly recommend purchasing with your coffee machine.
BS920 is also a good machine. My morning starts with a cafe style coffee.

Got this as a surprise Christmas gift. Simple and easy to use. Functions are clear, and whilst it does take a few tries to get the right settings, it's well worth it. Been playing with different dose & grind settings whilst enjoying the art of coffee making even more. Get a good tamp, rubber mat and a decent machine, and you're well on your way to great tasting, DIY coffee! Plus saves a few $$$ along the way as well...the stainless steel look is classy and keeps the Mrs happy! Next version with auto tamping would be a plus!!! ;-)

Simply the Best Domestic Coffee Grinder I have ever worked with!
30 years as a Barisita Trainer, this little baby is a leader in its class!
Soooo adjustable, accurate & easy to use, makes the Brevile BCG820 the most amazing Grinder I have seen in the home coffee market!

Using it everyday since 2 years and hasn’t missed a beat. Its much better than the professional ones and I use it to make professional barista coffee.
All automatic settings with no waste nothing to clean up.
One small complaint - the group handle doesn’t stay in without help. Probably because I use a heavy professional group handle. So I guess Breville might of only tested with home brand coffee machines.

For all its smart features really the smart grinder is your average middle of the road grinder. Its LED screen is pretty but as a coffee snob doesnt do anything extra to make for a better grind and ultimatley a better coffee . Having said all that I do enjoy have the screen to make life a little easier.

I got the two items as a deal together the coffee produced is amazing..the machine is my best friend. Grinder is great! Been using it non stop since I got it. I clean regularly and make sure that the filters are also replaced..bought a stock of filters to last me around 5 years...Which reminds me..Time for coffee..Was looking for the grinder to buy separately for my daughter for Christmas but unable to find anywhere. Purchased it online.

Picked this up on clearance for a great price. The unit itself is quite bulky and takes up a fair amount of bench space but it does the job perfectly. Good adjustable grind settings - espresso and plunger style work well - and easy to clean. Sometimes there is a delay between turning on and the LED light coming on but otherwise it's reliable.

In response to what has previously been mentioned; it appears newer models now come with an upgraded metal impellar which shouldn't wear away anymore. I know from experience as my older model had the plastic one which wore away allowing it to clog up, this was however replaced by the shop I bought it from and the new one seems far more efficient.

Adjustable grind and amount consistently. Very easy to use and clean. Seems good quality. Nothing broken on it with 8 cups per day usage. Great instructions. Bit noisy but they all are.
