Sherry Xu (quality: 6.0)	10.31.2009	Rating: 0.2
Bottom Line: DON'T BUY THIS ONE

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.

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

Evan Patton	10.04.2009	Rating: 5.4
Bottom Line: Good initial quality, but chronic clogging has me searching for a replacement after 18 months

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.

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.

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.

Andrew B (quality: 7.3)	10.19.2008	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Buy it if you're looking for a reasonably priced burr grinder for everything BUT espresso

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

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

Ash Furrow (quality: 7.0)	08.30.2010	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Not recommended for espresso. Good starter grinder after I modified it, but wore out quickly. Get a better starter grinder if you can at all afford it.

Davin Gegolick (quality: 7.0)	06.07.2012	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Best burr grinder for the price!

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

Drew Fleck (quality: 7.5)	08.15.2007	Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: All-in-all I am very satisfied with this purchase. Bottom line- it is so affordable and works so well that I'll be able to put money aside for an even nicer grinder when it's time to upgrade, and I'll be able to drink excellent espresso in the meantime.

Eran Levy (quality: 7.3)	10.04.2008	Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: good grinder after all .

Christopher Covolo (quality: 6.0)	01.26.2013	Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: Simple, small grinder for people that are buying their own beans - but loud.

Dunno Lol (quality: 6.8)	10.26.2007	Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: If you are looking for good espresso, step away from this grinder.

Paul Jones	10.08.2007	Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: Good grinder for the price once modified.

Craig Murray (quality: 4.0)	05.14.2008	Rating: 8.2
Bottom Line: old saying you get what you pay for any one want to buy my breville

Brian Woodward (quality: 3.0)	03.17.2008	Rating: 8.2
Bottom Line: Great grinder for the money; capable of espresso-grade grinds.
