Scot Murray (quality: 6.0)	11.01.2009	Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: Worked well for my Krups steam-powered, but isn't nearly fine enough for Miss Silvia... she's a demands more than it can produce.

Paul Jones	10.08.2007	Rating: 8.0

Pat D'Arcy (quality: 8.0)	08.20.2007	Rating: 9.2

Mick Paulin (quality: 8.0)	01.11.2010	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Excellent machine when it's not broken...

Michelle P (quality: 8.3)	05.13.2008	Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: I think it's the perfect burr grinder for french press coffee!

Michel Roberge	06.01.2012	Rating: 6.8
Bottom Line: For the price, it's a good bet, as long as you're not looking for an espresso grinder.

Michael Ventura (quality: 3.3)	05.03.2009	Rating: 6.2
Bottom Line: After modifying to get a finer grind it only gets an "okay" espresso grind, not great (~20 sec's). For same $$, my modified Baratza Maestro was better.

Meta Phoric (quality: 7.0)	09.23.2007	Rating: 9.2
Bottom Line: A Conical Burr Grinder for the rest of us...

Max Snook (quality: 2.3)	05.14.2009	Rating: 3.4
Bottom Line: Does not live up to its billing.

Marc Tischler (quality: 7.8)	08.29.2007	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: Very affordable burr grinder with nice aesthetics, small footprint, and most importantly good grind. Great first grinder if you are on a limited budget.

Louie Woodhams (quality: 7.0)	03.15.2008	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Nice grinder, but not enough range for espresso.

Lewis Jordan (quality: 7.0)	09.03.2008	Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: Get one!

Lance Johnson (quality: 8.0)	04.04.2008	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: Though I've been slow to get the message, a good grinder like the Breville makes a world of difference in your coffee enjoyment.

Johann Ramirez (quality: 6.7)	10.09.2008	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: A great starter grinder with quick modification is able to produce consistent high quality grinds for Espresso.

Joel Schulz (quality: 7.0)	12.02.2009	Rating: 2.8
Bottom Line: For espresso it is useless and Breville admits it. Too bad the product was not as good as Breville's customer service. They offered a refund if my retailer did not. MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR BODUM.

Ian King (quality: 8.0)	04.03.2008	Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: It's not an art work, it's a fine appliance that gets the job done nicely.
