Breville Smart Grinder Pro

A 40mm conical burr grinder with 60 grind settings and a Dosing IQ system for programmable timed grinding. Independent testing by Coffee Review scored its grind consistency as the best among the grinders in its comparison, notably impressive for the price. The main documented drawback is a genuinely convoluted user interface that takes patience to learn.
