    Hi WenV,

    Welcome to CoffeeSnobs!!!
    Every forum seems to have one, or two...........but nice response.

    The info re Breville BCG800 concerning model change and shims is on the Breville BCG800 thread, here on CS in the grinder section,
    page 21 starting at post #1008 and again at #1014. Probably elsewhere too but thats a start.

    We all start our home coffee journey somewhere and sooner or later use the net as a resource. I did, I only knew people with plungers
    and didn't know where else to go. It was the door that opened all the other doors........

    Yes, there's lots of BS, drivel, flat earthers, bullies and nay sayers but if you read enough and have an enquiring and discerning mind it's a valuable resource.
    And I've nearly always thought that CS was just that.

    Cheers

There's no way for me to make comparisons except through my research on the Internet as I don't know anyone in my circle of friends or family that owns either grinder.

      As for the comment that one can't agree with James' assessment of the Preciso without direct experience of it, I find it a fundamentally flawed argument. Mainly due to the fact that my reading of other's direct experience of the Preciso is sumilarly to James'. Hence, I can agree on that.
      My friend, there's a big difference between noting that 'this review is consistent with others I've read', and proclaiming that 'I totally agree with your assessment of the Precisio'. Your own logic is not 100% spot on here.

      People new to coffee would have a much easier time if it were easier to distinguish informed and uninformed opinions, I suspect (i.e. opinions based, at the very minimum, in direct experience with the equipment being discussed). You will learn a lot if you search through FC's posts.

        Come on this is all getting weird,lets just keep to the pros and cons of the grinders for the mainly amature users out there looking at them,I think those of us who have pulled a 1000 + shots and drink it black can make up their own minds,

        Lighten up a bit on the newby

          Thank you WenV for the considered response. The grinders discussed all have something to offer, and no matter which one you eventually choose to purchase, you will get a high level home use grinder that will keep you in good coffee for some time.

          Thank you chokkidog for the references in the brev thread. I was actually going to let the people directly concerned (brev is a sponsor here) do a bit of work for themselves on that score.

          Thank you Barry O for being one of the number who did not misunderstand the intention of my line of discussion.

            Thank you, Attilo, for your feedback on the grinders. I am sure I will learn a lot from your posts (past and present) on things coffee.
