It looks good. It's not super-quiet, but the sound is a lower frequency.

What customers say about "Features"

Gaggia 8002 MDF Burr Grinder with Doser

The Gaggia grinder has a wide variety of settings, which allow you to easily grind beans for a standard coffee machine or for espresso.
The grind is excellent and very consistent. It's a work horse and will get the job done every day, all day, the same way.
It grinds very consistent and works great for espresso, french, and drip.
The doser would often get stuck with course grinds, making a huge mess while trying to get things unstuck.
The portafilter holder is not removable so getting anything other than a plate underneath the dispenser is challenging.

Breville BCG800XL Smart Grinder Coffee Machine

Build quality is outstanding, display is very nice, controls and settings are very easy to understand.
Quality of grind is superb in addition to flexibility in that one can make a 10-cup medium (filter) grind stronger or weaker until the taste is perfect.
Easy settings for quantity and grind size. The finest setting is incredibly fine, perfect if you want to grind beans for baking.
The machine has all of the grinding settings one would want.
The display screen has had issues, where the grind select cursor flickers.
