Did your Breville smart grinder pro or Barista series espresso machine bite the dust? This video shows you how to replace the main drive gear inside the gearbox. I tried grinding some really small beans in mine one day. The motor quickly loaded and shortly after stripped the gear inside the gearbox. It makes an awful gear-skipping/grinding noise and the burr was completely stuck while the motor spun freely. Breville does not sell a replacement gear, rendering your expensive and otherwise perfectly good grinder totally useless. I decided to reverse engineer the original gear and have designed an improved, 3D-printed replacement that is available for sale on my Etsy store (link below).
This gear works for my Smart Grinder Pro (BCG820BSSXL) however I have heard that this same gear is also used in the Barista series espresso machine (like the 860XL). I would recommend disassembling your machine first, identifying the stripped gear, and then seeing if it matches the gear shown in the video or photos on my Etsy site.
I hope this video helps you save your machine and get back to grinding!
