This is our replacement for the previous gen grinder BCG800 that came with plasticky impeller under the conical burrs. It was still great and functional after so many years of daily use! Smart Grinder Pro looks very similar to its predecessor, but it has a lot of more improvements and functions and it definitely lives up to its name. It allows you to be more accurate with grinding and have ability to remember different settings for different beans. This model also uses grinding time rather than using dials in the prev-gen. Once you set it up, you will need some good freshly roasted beans and your fingers (and portafilter ofcourse), you will definitely see the improvement of the coffee extraction. Highly recommend it. PS: This one comes with stainless steel (I think) impeller so it would be less likely to be worn out.

Simple and straightforward and before anything it works perfectly. I'm still learning my way around it especially when using it for extended time, seems like the grind consistency differs when it heats after using for multiple rounds, may require adjusting the grind level, but overall I love it. It is easy to use, easy to clean and works very well.

I bought this to replace an older Krups grinder… at first I could not get a fine enough grind - but I’ve now adjusted the inner burr (down to 4 from the original 6 it came with) the coffee beans I normally use seem to grind well now on a grind setting of 9… however, coffee beans bought from the supermarket are still only just OK by taking the grind setting down further… I love the build quality and look of the machine, it’s just a shame that i wasn’t able to use it straight out of the box without adjustment..:
