Breville BCG450XL conical burr grinder. - 2007/04/13 00:04PRO: I'm quite impressed by the quality of the Breville BCG450XL conical burr grinder. Paid 99 $CA in Montréal for it. A steal in my opinion. It has a modern, clean and attractive metallic design. I find this machine absolutely perfect. It's silent, solid, and most of all, offers a very consistent grind due to its adjustable conical burrs. It has a burst button for manual operation, and a 10 to 30 sec timer to set and forget if you prefer automatic grinding. Best of all is that it operates virtually STATIC FREE (no coffee flying around with this baby). There is no need to hold the lids down during operation and there is no machine walking off the counter due to vibrations as I found with some other brands I tried in stores (i.e. Bodum, Capresso.) The 15 grinding positions are precise, well defined and easily adjustable. Cleaning the removable burr is very easy. This grinder makes a perfect press, filter, espresso, or turkish. Just for its low humming noise, high quality, sturdiness, start and forget operation, and easy cleaning makes it a 10/10 for me. Do I recommend this Australian made machine? You bet. CON: None so far.

Re:Breville BCG450XL conical burr grinder. - 2007/10/22 12:05I absolutely agree with André. I have used this machine for the last 5 months and would HIGHLY recommend it. I love the even consistent grind for all types of coffee preparation. Money well spent. I paid $115, but considering I had planned on paying up to $600 for a conical burr grinder, I think that I found a good deal.

What are peoples opinions on Galileo Coffee, a small Roastery Cafe just south of Squamish in the little town of Britannia Beach on Highway 99? I've really enjoyed the Howes Blend that they use in thei...
The Breville was my first machine. It has been a good machine no complaints. When you are ready, move up but you did not make a mistake. I can make a Mocha that will bring tears to your eye's with min...

Yea... it's been a headache, and that is understated, to say the least. Tonight, one of their reps came by to look at the machine and offer me some solutions. He was very nice. He actually said for th...
Saeco Incanto, in general, is garbage. We've had ongoing problems with ours (that you can see at the web link in my profile).
Have you had the machine serviced at all? Or just a call to ask if the...
Based on all the discussion and reviews, I am looking to buy either the 8 cup or the 12 cup model. Since the physical size of the units (other than the pot, of course) seems to be exactly the same, i...
Since you've posted in the $400 I'd say return the Breville and get a single boiler machine.
In this price range you can easily get an entry level Saeco or Gaggia, or a lesser known name like Moki...
