Cuisinart Supreme Grind Burr Grinder vs Breville Smart Grinder Pro

The Breville Smart Grinder Pro is the better grinder for most people deciding between these two. It has 60 settings against 18, a conical burr set, a 0.2-second dosing timer, an LCD, and it grinds straight into a 50–54mm or 58mm portafilter. The Cuisinart Supreme Grind is simpler and cheaper-feeling, with a flat burr, a slide dial for 4–18 cups, and a large 32-cup grind chamber. Reviewers rate the Breville higher (4.6 vs 4.3), praise its ease of use and hopper size, but flag plastic build and some reliability complaints. The Cuisinart is the easier pick for drip and French press batches, not espresso.

• Choose the Cuisinart Supreme Grind if you brew drip or French press in batches and want a simple, roomy grind chamber with a straightforward cup dial.
• Choose the Breville Smart Grinder Pro if you make espresso, want fine dosing control, or need to grind directly into a portafilter.
