The burs heat up and if you don't let it cool as per the instructions it will affect taste. I read a lot of reviews before deciding on this machine. There are modifications you can make to get a finer grind but the design must have been updated as it provides an extremely fine grind at the finest setting.
Also, I have no problems with stray grounds from static electricity and the grounds pour out clean and mess free all the time. The timer has been more than long enough for a 12 pot coffee maker. To qualify, I followed the initial cleaning instructions and I only go as far as the fine grind setting for drip coffee makers. This Grinder works great. The only real problem is it makes it to easy to make a second pot in the mornings.
We use the coarse grind setting for French press and a finer grind for automatic drip coffee. It's very easy to use and quiet. My husband and I are very pleased with this purchase. We have not used it for expresso. I also like the looks of it since it matches our coffee maker too. We both researched this product before buying and agreed upon the Breville. So far,no complaints.
Elegant on our counter top. Delighted with my choice, Quiet easy operation. Perfect selection of grind size.
I don't know if it is static or something else, but I find myself tapping the container to try to get the coffee out, and I never get it all. I considered the Capresso and the Breville and decided to get the Breville because it took up less counter space, though it was slightly more expensive. Also, this container does seem a bit flimsy, and I'm careful not to drop it, because it looks as if it might break easily. There must be some material that could have been used that would have worked better. It does a great job grinding coffee beans and the fineness of the grind is adjustable, so overall I am happy. It also is a nice looking piece of kitchen equipment.The flaw is that the container into which the ground coffee falls is made of a plastic from which the grind does not release easily.
