Breville Dose Control Pro — Conical Burr Grinder, 60 Settings, Precision Timer

Precise grind control, from French press to espresso

The Breville Dose Control Pro is a conical burr grinder built for home coffee drinkers who want repeatable, dose-accurate grinding without a complicated setup. Sixty grind settings and a one-second precision timer give you full control over every dose, whatever your brewing method.

What sets it apart

Most entry-level grinders offer a handful of imprecise stops on a dial. The Dose Control Pro gives you 60 distinct, numbered settings — enough range to dial in a tight espresso one day and a coarse French press grind the next, without starting over from scratch.

The stainless steel conical burrs are designed to run cooler than flat burr designs at comparable wattage. Heat generated during grinding degrades the essential oils in the bean — and those oils are where the flavour lives.

Key specifications

• 60 grind settings — full range from fine espresso to coarse French press; enough granularity to refine your extraction one stop at a time
• 1-second increment timer — consistent dosing every morning, no scale required
• Stainless steel conical burrs — lower grind heat, better aroma retention, long-term durability
• 340 g bean hopper capacity — enough for a week of daily coffee for 1–2 people
• 130 watts — appropriate power for daily residential use
• Dimensions: 203 W × 160 D × 343 H mm — compact footprint for a standard kitchen counter
• 50–54 mm and 58 mm portafilter compatibility — cradles for both standard sizes included

Day to day

The Dose Control Pro grinds directly into the portafilter, the included gold-tone filter basket, or a paper filter — your choice depending on how you brew. The included adjustable razor — interchangeable for 50 mm, 54 mm, and 58 mm baskets — levels the puck for consistent extraction, no extra tools needed.

Maintenance is straightforward: brush the burrs every couple of weeks. A few minutes, nothing more.

Who it's for / Who it's not for

Ideal for:

• Home coffee drinkers preparing 1 to 3 cups per day
• Those stepping up from pre-ground coffee or pod machines to fresh grinding
• Users with a residential espresso machine with a 54 mm or 58 mm portafilter
• Those who want versatility: espresso during the week, filter or French press on weekends

Less suited for:

• Specialty coffee enthusiasts who require tenth-of-a-gram dosing precision for single-origin dialling — see our Compak grinders for that level of control
• Semi-commercial use or daily output above 30 espresso shots

Category positioning

In the residential conical burr grinder category between $150 and $300, the Dose Control Pro stands out for the breadth of its adjustment range and the inclusion of portafilter cradles — features absent from most competitors at this price point.
