Best Grinder I’ve had yet!
I love this grinder and that I can custom set my grind times for any drink I make. It’s also quieter than my old burr grinder (not to say that it’s quiet) and grinds more consistently.
Review excerpt · Smart Grinder™ Pro
With 60 unique settings, this programmable conical burr grinder maximizes the potential of any brew.
Choose between ‘cups’ for French Press or Filter and ‘shots’ for Espresso to get the right dose for the coffee you're brewing. Grind directly into a portafilter or an air-tight container.
One touch programs for instant smoothies, green smoothies and ice crushing to make what is a rough start, a smooth finish.
Combines the functionality of a powerful blender with some food processing tasks for versatility and convenience. Crush and chop to turn ice into snow, fold and aerate for creamy smoothies and soups.
The latest version of the Fresh & Furious is compatible with the Vac Q vacuum pump*. The Vac Q improves texture, colors and flavors for some of your mixes. For certain recipes, flavors will be greatly enhanced providing smoother green smoothies, creamier spreads, delicate dips and silkier gazpacho soup. For milk based shakes, it's the air that's whipped through and trapped into the shake that gives that light and bubbly texture.
The blade design and high torque motor delivers quiet and efficient blending performance. Engineered surgical grade stainless steel ensures the blades stay sharp, for longer.
Illuminated Smoothie, Green Smoothie and Ice Crush pre-programmed buttons make it super simple to blend the smoothest of smoothies.
LCD display counts up on speed settings and down for pre-programmed settings for complete control when blending.
10 of the smoothest recipe cards included from ice lollies, marinades, smoothies and dips.

Review excerpt · Smart Grinder™ ProThe Smart Grinder Pro works well, producing a consistent grind that works nicely with my La Pavoni espresso machine. I like having the ability to grind directly into my portafilter.
The full review also reports occasional stuck beans and settings resetting after a power loss.
Review excerpt · Smart Grinder™ ProMy old model never did this. Otherwise I have been happy but this "babysitting" is quite annoying
The reviewer describes beans getting stuck in the hopper and needing to intervene while grinding.
Review excerpt · Smart Grinder™ ProI love Breville products, but the BCG820XL coffee grinder has some design flaws. I grind grounds for a 12-cup pot daily. It worked perfectly for about two to three months. However, after that point the same setting started yielding less and less grounds.
Review excerpt · Smart Grinder™ ProLove this grinder! Bought it in 2014 & love the grinds we get for our espresso, french press, pour over, & had used drip & Keurig.
The full review also reports an unresponsive grind indicator and asks for help repairing the grinder.
Review excerpt · Smart Grinder™ ProThe grinder itself is perfect -- easy to use and clean, while offering everything one would need. However, for Breville to NOT HAVE ENOUGH INVENTORY to cover replacement parts bothers us enormously!
Review excerpt · Smart Grinder™ ProIt started working again. Once. Then stopped again. And I don't grind it finely but very coarse.
Review excerpt · Smart Grinder™ ProI have used this grinder model since around 2009. It is far and away the best I have had. The first one gave up the ghost after about 8 years (motor) but I immediately purchased a new one.
The full review also praises preset settings and the catch cup, but questions the stated bean capacity.
