The Smart Grinder Pro is a conical burr grinder designed to work across every brew method, from espresso through to French press. Sixty grind settings and precision digital timing in 0.2 second increments give you fine control over both grind size and dose, whether you're grinding directly into a portafilter, an airtight container, a gold tone filter basket, or a paper filter. An LCD screen shows your grind setting, grind time, and the number of shots or cups selected, so you can repeat a result accurately each time. The stainless steel conical burrs and a 450g bean hopper make it a capable everyday grinder that works equally well as a standalone home setup or paired with an espresso machine.
FEATURES

Shots and cups dosing modes: Select between shots mode for espresso or cups mode for filter and French press, with the LCD displaying grind setting, time, and your selected dose.
Flexible grinding output: The grinder works directly into a portafilter using the included cradles, an airtight container, a gold tone filter basket, or a paper filter.

CARE
Daily cleaning: Brush out the grinding chamber and burrs with the included cleaning brush after each use to remove residual ground coffee. This prevents stale coffee oils from building up and affecting the flavour of future brews.
Cleaning the hopper and container: Remove and wipe out the bean hopper regularly, particularly when switching between different coffees. The grinds container and lid can be washed with warm soapy water and dried thoroughly before use.
Deep cleaning the burrs: The burrs should be removed and cleaned periodically. Refer to the manual or the BILT app for step-by-step guidance on burr removal and reassembly. Do not wash burrs in water; brush clean only.
What to avoid: Do not put the main unit or burrs in the dishwasher or immerse in water. Do not grind anything other than roasted coffee beans. Avoid storing the grinder with beans left in the hopper for extended periods, as this can cause oils to go stale and affect grind quality.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Which portafilter sizes does it fit?
The Smart Grinder Pro comes with two portafilter cradles: one for 50-54mm portafilters and one for 58mm. These cover the most common sizes used on home espresso machines, including Sage's own range.
Can I grind straight into a paper filter or filter basket?
Yes. As well as the portafilter cradles, the grinder is designed to work with a gold tone filter basket and paper filters. The included grinds container with lid and sealing cap is also useful if you want to grind in advance and store the coffee before brewing.
How do I know which grind setting to start with?
The 60 settings are arranged from finest to coarsest, and the LCD screen shows your current setting clearly. For espresso, starting around the finer end and adjusting based on extraction time is the standard approach. Sage has also partnered with the BILT app, which provides interactive setup guidance to help you get started.
How do I clean the burrs?
A conical burr cleaning brush is included for removing ground coffee from the burrs and grinding chamber. Regular brushing after use helps maintain grind consistency and prevents stale coffee oils from building up. Check the manual for guidance on deeper cleaning and burr removal.
