Summary: Breville conical coffee grinder 2008-09-04
Comment: This product does an excellent job at grinding coffee beans, however, like other reviewers have said, the grind holder/hopper is cheaply made and the grinds fly all over the place when the hopper is removed and emptied...sort of like static electricity. As such, I have to empty the hopper over the sink, and even then grinds are everywhere and stick to the top of the hopper. A very messy product. Afterwards, I have to wipe down the counter top and sweep up the floor. I like the fact that you can select the grind...but with the mess afterwards, it simply is not worth the $100+ price.

Summary: Great grinder for the money 2008-09-02
Comment: I purchased this item about a month ago. For the money, you can't beat it. It generates good even grinds, comparable to what you get with the commercial grinders. It's also relatively quiet, and easy to use. Build quality is very good.
The only downsides are the oddly shaped ground coffee container, and the hideous static electricity problem. I'm used to handling the container now, but on certain beans (not all, oddly enough...) the static charge makes it all but impossible to get the ground coffee from the container to the pot without losing some. To be fair, all grinders have some static problems. I'm going to try some different ways of eliminating the static charge, and see where that goes.
Overall, this is the one to buy for the average to above average coffee nut.

Summary: Good and bad 2008-08-26
Comment: Like other reviews, the plus with this unit is the noise factor and lack of static buildup. It's a decent grinder for drip and other coarser grind styles, but I can see how it might not be excellent for espresso machines. The rating would have been higher other than the on/off switch just snapped off 9 months after purchase. A call to customer service rendered a lethargic rep who said they would e-mail a fed-ex return slip for warranty service that I have yet to receive 4 days later, this after a follow up call that was never returned. I hate to have to spend a couple hundred bucks on a reliable grinder, but it may come to that, as every other burr grinder I've had (Bunn, Cuisinart) broke after about a year of service.

Summary: A total delight! 2008-08-25
Comment: This product is a treat in every way. It's reasonably quiet, runs smoothly, grinds uniformly (4 settings with options in between) and cleans easily. It is easy to fill and empty and easy to operate. Not only that, it is quite handsome...I'll even say elegant. I like that it has a cord minder built in under the unit (that works easily) and the plug itself has a finger hole built in...a very nice touch! I think a whole lot of effort went into this grinder...it is a total delight to have and use, and I'm not one who is easily impressed. A great gift to give as well!
