    Re: Relpace K3T with Breville Smart Grinder or Not???

    Hey Brett,

    Fair point but I think for a current model thats in fair demand with a RRP of $299, a 50% price is ridiculous!! The cheapest Ive seen them for are with sponsors at around the $250 mark and retailers are about the same (when on sale).

    $150 must be a typo!!

        Im afraid its part of life - its called competition. Its the process that drives a consumer based economy by keeping manufacturers and retailers on their toes to deliver what the customer wants at a price the customer is willing to pay.

        Some woud argue that it eventually drives quality down. I think the opposite is true - it keeps raising the quality/feature bar while making certain that bang for buck remains attractive.

        Just look at what Breville are doing with their Dual Boiler machine

            Its a shame Breville made the same mistake that Sunbeam made with their grinder sans shims

            Seems that extended bench testing was not part of either companys quality control

              Hi Brett,

              Initial impressions:
              The Breville grinds are fluffier (now theres a technical term) and really pile up in the basket using the same dose as the K3.

              They are less clumpy with virtually no static.

              In the cup the difference is hardly discerncernable as a cappuccino though Im sure the K3 does extract more nuances from the bean.

              The EM6910 seems more at home with the Breville grind - showing no variation in pour characteristics between shots.

              The Breville is quieter and extremely easy to adjust and repeat the setting. 

              It is a delight to use
