Capresso 560.04 Infinity Conical Burr Grinder, Brushed Silver

My first impressions are as follows. 1. Its way better than the hand turn hairo skerton, or however you spell it. For example, i have had the hairo for about 1.5 years. It works. I used it for cold brew, coarse grind. Grinding over one cup of beans a week got tiresome. At first i ground happily, then got one of my kids to do it. Then when she got tired of it, i got another to do it along with me taking turns. Then another kid, and so on and so forth til i had enough of hand grinding, and enough money to get this capresso model. So, i first and foremost bought it to save time and the anoyance of hand grinding. 2. The first grind was good enough for my cold brew. I used the coarsest setting, and though not very coarse, it seems to work good enough. I use a hemp coffee bag, witj a tight weave in a 2 quart mason jar to cold brew for 12 hrs or so. First batch from this machine tastes fine. 3. Grinding took seconds to grind slightly over 1 cup of beans. Now the hairo took me about 20 minutes to a half hr of the same amount of beans. So, this was a huge relief. 4. It does leave a spoonful or so of grounds in the blade area. I removed the top burr and did brush it out. I can see how this would taint someones coffee a bit if left in and or to not clean it at all. Didnt take long at all. I had a new long handle one inch trim paint brush to do it. Works good. Really, this is not hard or long at all to brush clean tje machine after every use, which will normally be every 5 days or so. 5. Static cling has not been a big problem. I just tapped the machine and grounds hopper container and not much static or grinds shooting out at all. I just followed the instructions to tap the machine to dislodge what one can from the grinder shoot and tap the bin of grinds. In conclusion, this machine just nails it perfectly for me for my purposes of saving grinding time and effort, it is nearly effortless to use and clean. Second, it creates an acceptable coarse grind, maybe just a bit acceptable. Yet, i dont have enough experience to know for sure. The hairo manual one seems to be able to create a coarser grind, yet the capresso machine may look more consistent in its grind. I am very pleased in my initial impression of the capresso. Plus, its fairly quiet and calm in its methodical grinding. Glad for all the tips my fellow purchasers put out here on amazon. Thanks! Click if this was helpful.

I recently purchased the Capresso 565.05 Infinity Conical Burr Grinder, the stainless steel/zinc model. My overall impression is that this grinder is a compact, well-designed, well-made machine and is everything and more than what I expected, after reading the product's many Amazon reviews. This burr grinder replaces my old Krups disc grinder (still running after nearly 20 years) and an 11 year old small Cuisinart blade grinder. This Capresso Infinity is my first burr grinder and it definitely surpasses both of my previous grinders, regarding the quality and variations of grinds and its ease of use. I grind only roasted coffee beans (mostly medium roast) in my grinder and I use a Zojirushi Zutto 5-Cup Drip coffeemaker to prepare my coffee. So far, this machine has performed flawlessly and has not shown any defects or any of the problems that others have posted about, regarding this product's performance for them. Here's a concise list of pros and specific comments for the Capresso Infinity 565.05 Conical Burr Grinder: PROS: 1. Grind Settings- 16 grind settings (4 different grinds with 4 specific setting marks for each type of grind) are quite sufficient for grinding beans for a drip coffeemaker or most other types of coffeemakers. I grind my medium roast beans using the grind setting at Medium/Regular grind (the farthest mark to the right of the four distinct settings for the Medium grind), and I set the timer setting to (4) to grind at Regular and to prepare 4 or 5 cups of coffee. 2, No static or messy grounds- the plastic ground bean container does NOT cause "static cling" of the ground coffee beans and I have nothing to clean up, on my counter, when I remove and empty the ground coffee container. I believe that I experience no "static problem" since my machine is made of the stainless steel/zinc housing and interior parts. 3. No movement of the grinder when it's on and grinding- There is no movement or problem of the machine "moving around from vibrations" while it's grinding, since the metal housing and parts give it sufficient weight to "stay put" on the counter. I have placed the grinder on a tray (the Handy Caddy) that glides on tiny wheels on two interlocking trays. With the gliding trays, I simply pull the tray with the stationary Capresso machine forward and toward me, from the back of the counter and forward to the counter's edge, so it's easier to use and I don't have to lift the weight of the metal grinder machine to bring it closer to me. 4. Noise level- The Capresso Infinity Burr Grinder is not loud at all and is actually one of the quietest of all the burr grinders I researched and watched being used on video demonstrations. 5. Quality of the prepared coffee- Yes, the reviews and claims, that burr grinders add a deeper and more flavorful result to prepared coffee, I have found to be true. Paying more to buy specialty gourmet coffee beans, such as Hawaiian Kona and Jamaica Blue Mountain beans, deserves a good grinder to properly grind the beans. The burr grinder certainly meets that challenge. CONS: None to date. Before purchasing the Capresso Infinity Burr Grinder, I researched all of the current top brands of burr grinders. My final decision to buy the Capresso Infinity Conical Burr Grinder was based on my research and high ratings of this grinder. The conical burr grinders I feel are better performers and are definitely easier to clean and to operate than blade or disc grinders. The Capresso's stainless steel housing and steel conical burrs/parts are superior in manufacturing and performance, when compared to those burr grinders that are made of plastic housings and interior parts. I'm very glad I bought this grinder and I look forward to many cups of delicious coffee and years of service.

Excelente molino, lo tengo desde hace 3 años y no me ha dado ningún problema al ser de muelas cónicas mejora mucho la calidad de molienda.

This is an excellent grinder! It is very quiet compared to other grinders. I've found that what you're grinding makes a difference. Dried out, hard beans are louder. Fresh and softer beans, very reasonable volume. I also bought this to grind nuts and dried beans, like split peas. Works like a champ! It does get warm when grinding the dried peas, but I just give it a minute to cool down between each small batch and it seems fine. This is grinding on the finest setting, to make pholourie mix. Fine like flour. Cleaning is ok. there is some static which can be a pain, but using a damp cloth makes fairly quick work of it. So far, 1 month in, I am very pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend it. UPDATE over a year later, this grinder is still performing flawlessly. Love it!

magnifica molienda, silencioso y eficiente.

I'm one of two daily coffee drinkers that make personal pour overs and espresso at least once a day, and we're very impressed with this unit. It's very quiet compared to our last one that died after a few years (Cuisineart) and grinds a consistent amount with an accurate grind size. Our coffee making has improved as nothing sticks to the plastic bin that catches the grinds, so it's all the same uniform size with no fines building up. It's easy to use, small, quiet... quite happy with it. Hoping it last a few years - first month has been great.

We used to have a blade grinder and it was noisy and messy to use. We recently decided to try the Capresso Infinity at a friend's recommendation and we were not disappointed. It is quiet, easy to use and it does a good job of uniformly grinding the coffee (way better than our blade grinder). We think that the resulting coffee tastes better as a result, and now we just grind the amount we need each time we make coffee so the coffee is really fresh. We note that some ground coffee sometimes falls to the bottom when you take out the ground coffee container but this is a minor issue. Overall, we are quite happy with our new Capresso Infinity.
