Review on ⚙️ Breville BCG820BSS Smart Grinder Pro - Stainless Steel Coffee Bean Grinder by Drew Gengler

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Bottom grinder disconnected after 2 months

Very impressed with the grinder at first; even grinding for both coarse and fine grinding. However, after two months of daily use, the bottom burr has come loose from the burr and there is no 'easy fix'. Refitting the lower millstone requires disassembly of virtually the entire machine and the gearbox must be reassembled with six ball bearings and six springs (not an easy task, made more difficult without Breville's assembly instructions, which I'm sure they don't have). not provided for reasons of decency). After disassembling and reassembling twice, I finally got it working for a short time (about 1/2 pound of coffee grounds), after which the bottom grindstone came loose again. I really liked the coffee grinder, but unfortunately I cannot recommend it to my coffee-loving friends. Good luck finding another grinder.
