Capresso 560.01 Infinity Burr Grinder, Black

I've had this burr grinder for only a few weeks, but so far, it has performed flawlessly. It's a little hard to clean the interior portion with the provided brush. I discovered that cleaning it with compressed air works great..... should you have an air compressor that's the way to go.

This was a Christmas gift for my daughter and was recommended by another daughter. They both love this product!

Quite simply this is the least expensive home grinder that does a good job. I used an inexpensive Braun grinder for many years, purchased and returned a Lello 45800/3006 Ariete Burr Coffee Grinder recently, and observed others in use at various places. This Capresso grinder is far superior to all of those others.

- The conical burr design this model has is the only way to go. Consistent grind and low static electricity.
- Still noisy, but at a lower frequency that other units out there. Definitely bearable in volume.
- Timer is simple and works.
- My only complaint (echoed by others) is that some coffee is left inside the unit after each grind (maybe 1/2 a tablespoon). Not a big deal.

Overall I highly recommend this grinder. The black finish is fine, but if it is in your budget I'm sure the stainless is even better looking.

I bought the product mostly because because i could grind a somewhat large quantity at a time. Since my mornings are hectic and I can't afford the extra time to grind daily. The machine grinds wonderfully with a dial to match your grind preference. The draw back for me however, is the chute to the coffee bowl is to small and it gets plugged. Then the chaos begins and you have to take all the beans out (which spills alll over the kitchen counter) turn upside down and brush all the clogged mess onto a napkin. So for me the machine is aweful messy. So if you are not in ahurry and put a small amount of beans in the dispenser it will work just fine for you!

This grinder was good in producing an evenly ground product. Reasonably quiet. However, in grinding a rich soft bean (pure Kona) it clogs and cakes around the burr. If you do not clean at least every two days or so. a buildup of grounds begins that will soon kill the machine. Do buy the guarantee sold as an extra on Amazon or go elsewhere.
