Product DescriptionConical Burr Grinders preserve the most aromas and can grind very fine and very consistent. The intricate design of the steel burrs allow a high gear reduction to slow down the grinding speed. The slower the speed the less heat is imparted to the ground coffee, thus preserving a maximum amount of aroma. Because of the wide range of grind settings these grinders are ideal for all kinds of coffee equipment such as Espresso, Drip, Percolators, French Press. It can also grind extra fine for the preparation of Turkish coffee.

What Others Say
Should last longer for the price
I purchased this grinder last year and while it performed reasonably well, there were several drawbacks:
*It was difficult to clean, and required cleaning often. Because the bean hopper had a gap to allow beans to flow into the grinder, it was almost impossible to remove it without spilling some beans. It would have been much easier to clean after every use (recommended for oily beans) if the hopper could have been closed for removal.
*It was not as quiet as others have said; you could not carry a conversation without shouting, and God forbid I ran it when football was on!
*Like other grinders, it did indeed create static and dust--the entire process was very messy and I ended up putting it on a tray to catch all the 'blow ... Read More
Excellent intermediate grinder
I replaced a LaPavoni basic grinder with this unit, and there's a huge difference. The LaPavoni was a good basic grinder, but this grinder doesn't get the grinds hot (burning off of essential oils), and the grind is very even with less noise and slower grinding speed. Is every ground uniform in size and shape when measured with a micrometer? Probably not, but then, if that's what you're looking for, you may need to be in a laboratory environment or a straightjacket. For humankind, however, the grind is excellent. Some people have said that this machine won't grind fine enough for espresso, and I disagree. I can make coffee into powder with this grinder, and from what I've read most experts agree that powder is too fine for espresso.

Capresso Grinder
Product works great and is simple to use. However, the dial settings from 1-10 do not correspond to the number of cups of coffee and the instructions don't offer any suggestions. You have to memorize the setting for the amount of coffee your brewing and when someone else uses the grinder for the first time they don't know what setting to use. They could give a guide with suggested settings per cup of coffee brewed. It would save having to use the measuring spoon.
It's what I wanted.
I have had this grinder for several years. I like it. It's just what I wanted and needed. I have no complaints. Everything works, it's not too noisy, and it does a great job.
capresso infinity burr grinder
This is the first burr grinder that I've had, so I don't have much to compare it to, but I couldn't be happier. Consistent grind, very fine grind for espresso or turkish coffee. I've only had it a little over a month, so I can't speak about the durability, but so far I'm 100% pleased.
