Does it grind for every brew?

Yes. The built-in burr grinder grinds beans just before brewing, and you can set the grind size. A bypass lets you use pre-ground coffee instead.

Can it brew a single cup?

Yes. It brews into a cup, a travel mug or a full 12-cup carafe, and Steep & Release adjusts extraction for the brew size.

How many strength settings does it have?

Eight, from mild to bold, set alongside grind size and brew size on the LCD.

Can I set it to brew before I wake up?

Yes. Programmable auto start lets you set a brew time in advance.

It needs more care than a basic drip maker: the grinder path and brew basket have to be cleaned regularly to keep flavors from carrying over.

How does it compare with a separate grinder and drip maker?

It saves counter space and steps by combining both, but it is larger than a basic brewer and adds a grinder to maintain.

About the Breville Grind Control

The Breville Grind Control combines a burr grinder and a drip coffee maker in one machine. It grinds beans just before brewing. Stainless steel burrs give a consistent grind size, and the grind size is adjustable.

Steep & Release technology is used for both single cups and full carafes. You can brew a single cup or up to 12 cups into the thermal carafe. It also brews directly into a travel mug up to 7.5 inches tall, using the removable drip tray. The grinder can be turned off to use pre-ground coffee.

Strength has 8 settings, from mild to bold. A backlit LCD display controls grind size, strength and brew size, and auto start can be programmed. The water tank fills from the front, the door swings out for access, and a brew pause function lets you pour mid-brew.
