They are super happy with their second-hand Smart Grinder Pro and Duo Temp Pro.

“I bought a second hand Breville Duo Temp Pro & a Smart Grinder Pro, gets my shot of espresso in at 6am and I am super happy”
positive

Their Smart Grinder Pro jammed both times they used it with oily dark roasts.

“I bought a breville smart grinder pro and tried it twice. Both times it got jammed with beans.”
negativedurability issues

Years with their Smart Grinder Pro and they are happy with it for the price.

“I've had a Breville SGP for years and am happy with it.”

Their Sage Smart Grinder Pro has no major issues, but they suspect its grind consistency limits them.

“I also run a Sage Pro Grinder, no major issue but I do fear there's alot of headroom I'm missing with the consistency/quality of grinds.”

They love their Smart Grinder Pro and Bambino.

“I love my little machines. Bambino and SGP til their death”
positive

They found their Smart Grinder Pro a world worse than the grinder that replaced it.

“Definitely trash the smart grinder pro”
negative

Their used Sage Smart Grinder Pro can't grind fine enough: even at the finest settings shots run under 10 seconds.

“It's currently on 1 on the internal burr and 1 on the dial and it still only does less than 10 seconds of extraction”
negative

Their Smart Grinder Pro works great so far.

“I bought a smart grinder pro ( works great for now) but I’ve heard things about it.”
positive

Their Smart Grinder Pro with an AeroPress has been their most consistent combination.

“Aeropress + Breville Smart Grinder Pro has been the most consistent tools tho.”

Their Breville grinder is nearly seven years old: not the best, only handles fresh beans, but still works.

“My old BGP is nearing 7 years old. Not the best in the world and would love to upgrade but can't bring myself to move on from a device that works”

Had their Smart Grinder Pro for years, modified for single dosing; it does the job but they wouldn't buy it again.

“Now I know a little more I wouldn’t buy it again. But it’s doing the job for now.”
negative

Found the Smart Grinder Pro inconsistent, with lots of fines, retention and static; a Mokkom 64 was like tasting espresso for the first time.

“The SGP is very inconsistent, tons of fines, a LOT of retention, generates a lot of static, etc etc.”
