Smart Grinder Pro

I’ve played with a lot of coffee equipment over the years. While I don’t have a breville on my coffee bar, I really like them! I used the Barista Pro for a while and think it’s a good machine for most people who just want some decent espresso. What I don’t like about it is the built in grinder. I’ve

I think it depends on how many espressos youre making everyday. I use a manual grinder for an americano every morning and its really only 30 seconds of grinding for a really dialed in grind. if I have to make 4 cappuccinos? im using my slightly subpar electric grinder (I have an older breville smart

I had a Breville SGP and it was complete trashFound a Rancilio stile on marketplace and the difference is night and day .. GET A GOOD GRINDER

If you’ve got the breville/sage smart grinder pro - upgrading that is absolute number one priority. I did a side by side experiment between that and a eureka silenzio. The silenzio, a 50mm flat grinder absolutely shat on the SGP my friend had. I then went from silenzio to P64 HU and that was still a
