Tremendous machine
$ for $ the best machine on the market. I have used many, the grind and consistency are impressive. Treat yourself and buy it.

Works great for ultra-fine grinding
I got this unit to grind chia seeds (the black ones which have hard shells) and it works wonderfully. Chia seeds are a little smaller than sesame seeds so many other grinders won't get a fine enough grind to grind chia seeds.

A terrific grinder!
I finally decided to replace my hateful older model Capresso grinder that I've had for about 10 years. What an improvement!
My Capresso blew coffee particles ALL OVER the counter. I hated to use it because it was so messy and it was very prone to clogging which was a nightmare to take care of.
This one's clean and quiet and no mention is made as to what to do if it clogs, so I'm guessing it won't.

Timer problems
I've had the unit about six months. It worked well at first and does a reasonably good job at grinding coffee, but as others have experienced, the timer has stopped working correctly. It's entirely random - 1 second, 5 seconds, 20 seconds, regardless of what it's set to. So I end up standing there having to push the button 5 or 6 times to grind enough coffee for a cup of espresso.

Breville seems to have serious quality control issues. The pump on my Breville ESP8XL espresso machine, which I've also had about six months, just failed. I will not buy another Breville product.

Breville BCG450XL Ikon Grinder
The Breville 450XL is an excellent grinder. It's easy to use and provides very consistent grinds. We've had several other Conical Burr grinders over about 10 years and this is the best yet. It's very quiet and has no static dust problems in the humid climate of South Texas. I have no hesitation recommending this grinder for home use.
