Let me tell you right off the bat – this Breville coffee grinder is expensive! As is often the case with Breville products, you will probably look at the price think “What?!” and want to look at something else. But there is a reason for those high prices. Breville produces commercial-grade products, and markets them to the general population at a price that may seem high to you, but is much lower than commercial products. So if you look at it that way in terms of value for your money, then Breville products are very reasonably priced. And this Breville coffee grinder is no different.

The Breville BCG450XL is a conical burr grinder with a variety of adjustable grind settings. You can use coarsely ground coffee made for perculator coffee makers, or you can grind ultra-fine coffee for things like Turkish coffee (into which you want the fine grinds to seap. Unlike cheaper grinders, the BCG450XL Breville grinder grinds consistently and evenly, which creates a good consistent coffee flavour. Conical burrs with their slow speed of motion also maintain more of the coffee bean’s flavour than fast-moving metal blades.

This is also quite a quiet unit, so you won’t have to blow your eardrums out to make a pot of coffee. This is also a very durable machine, and most customers report this machine lasts a long time without malfunction.

This is a great grinder, even at its retail price of $100-150.
