Customer Review: Don't waste your money!
Summary: 1 Stars
We purchased the Breville BCG450XL Ikon Conical Burr Grinder from Amazon on June 18, 2008 and were very pleased with its performance. I was about to write a positive product review. However, yesterday, March 29, 2009, the on/off switch (the one on the side and which is redundant to the one on the front) failed (fell apart in pieces actually) and the product is now useless.
On examination, the on of switch was so poorly designed with such non-durable materials that I am suprised it didn't fail much sooner.
Needless to say, we didn't get our money's worth out of this product. Don't waste your money!
Description of Breville BCG450XL Ikon Conical Burr Grinder and Cleaner Kit
Beautifully designed, this Breville conical burr grinder features adjustable settings for various grind options. Choose from ultra-fine for Turkish coffee or large and coarse for percolators. The settings offer consistently shaped grinds and even extraction, which is the key to producing flavorful coffee. In addition, the unit's metal conical burrs preserve more natural bean flavor than blade drivers due to the slower grind nature. The grinder comes equipped with a removable bean hopper that holds 1/2 pound of coffee beans, and its stainless-steel/polymer base offers start and stop control, as well as an on/off switch. Other highlights include a variable timer with 10 to 30 seconds of grind time, anti-static technology, and a removable burr for convenient cleaning.Grinders & Roasters
