I love this grinder and that I can custom set my grind times for any drink I make. It’s also quieter than my old burr grinder (not to say that it’s quiet) and grinds more consistently.
The Smart Grinder Pro works well, producing a consistent grind that works nicely with my La Pavoni espresso machine. I like having the ability to grind directly into my portafilter. The only issues I've encountered are that a bean occasionally gets stuck falling part way between the grinder burrs and I have to move it with the cleaning brush. Also, whenever the grinder loses power, it reverts to factory settings when powered back up, so you need to pay attention to resetting your preferred grind size and time of grind afterwards. The 17.9 second default time overfills my portafilter and spills some, so I prefer 15 seconds of grind for a doppio.
Bought this model about 9 months ago to replace an older version of this grinder that I'd used daily for the 8 years prior (one day it just stopped working...) I wanted to replace with a new version of the grinder that had treated me well for so long. I'm disappointed that this one has an issue where the coffee beans get hung up in the hopper and I have to hit the machine to get the beans to flow into the grinder while its grinding. Otherwise it just spins away without grinding any coffee. I have to stay close while it grinds as it does this almost every time I use it. My old model never did this. Otherwise I have been happy but this "babysitting" is quite annoying
