Got one from Amazon a few years back. Beautiful grinder, looked perfect next to my other Breville appliances. Great unit, if you need an espresso grinder. 600 total step adjustments, I had it on the coarsest possible setting and it still wouldn't get coarse enough to even do a V60 pourover. Just clogged the filter. After many troubleshooting calls to Breville support, they finally admitted that it's designed for espresso.
So the slogan for this model "from the coarsest french press to the finest espresso" is crap. I called them on the false advertising and they bought the grinder from me.

The internal adjustment does not move the external adjustment to a whole new set of grind settings. In fact, it hardly moves it at all. Each number movement of the internal setting moves the setting for the side dial by less than 3 numbers.

So yes, I'll briefly explain. There are tons of Chinese sellers that do this. I'm not saying that's what THIS guy is doing, but you'll see a "Just Launched" seller with a really long Chinese name out of Guangzhou or some other province. They list a ton of items at extremely low prices (with or without a coupon.) You buy. They mark the item as shipped w/ fake tracking info. Since it's shipped, Amazon pays them. They collect all the money and disappear. Amazon refunds the customer due to their A-to-Z guarantee. Seller starts a new "Just Launched" account and does it all again.
Make sense? That's the scam.
