Amazon.com Review

This hefty, bullet-shaped grinder stays cool even when the motor runs, so no flavor or aroma is lost, and its jumbo capacity prepares enough beans for a large coffeemaker in one go-round. There is also a see-through plastic lid that lets you see how fine the grind is without opening the grinder.While these are great features, the machine has its drawbacks, too. Though the Capresso claims to have low-noise, it actually seemed a little loud compared to aslightly smaller grinder that didn't have the "cool grind" feature, and it is also a big appliance for smaller adults to get their hands around. In the final analysis, this is a great grinder for those who regularly make extra-large pots of coffee and who can handle an appliance with a little extra heft. --Maria Dolan

I bought this grinder and just love it. I don't seem to have any of the problems others are having...it isn't messy and my coffee has not stuck to the bottom at all. I love that it is larger, as we like our coffee strong, and with this one, we can grind a larger amount. Someone mentioned it takes up to 30 seconds to grind your coffee....well coffee should be ground for 20-30 seconds anyway for a perfect flavor...I grind it for about 25 seconds in this grinder and it comes out perfect!

This grinder has performed flawlessly. I have had no problems getting whatever grind I desire and I have had no problems with clean up, nor do I find this grinder to be messy. As for longevity, well we will just have to see as it is new. I hope we have a long and continued happy relationship.


Update. 04/30/08 I have now had this dandy little grinder for about 13 months and still am very satisfied with it. I should have noted on my original review that I don't make espresso at home. At that time I used a drip and a percolator and the grinder did very well for both. I now have a french press and it works fine for that also. I am very well satisfied. However folks keep telling me to get a burr grinder, that especially with a french press I will really note a difference in the coffee. I am not sure I want to spend so much money on something that really doesn't make all that much difference especially since I have been so pleased with this particular product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Coffee Grinder, July 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Capresso 501 Cool Grind Coffee Grinder, Black (Kitchen)

I bought the chrome version of this machine about a month ago and my experiences with it are excellent. The machine stays cool, grinds about 1/2 pound of coffee beans at a time, and the results are consistently good. It is a neat device, with the cord wrapping around the machine for easy storage. Cleaning requires a small brush so that grinds do not stay at the bottom, and they come right out. I could not be happier with this purchase, but then again, I use it only for what it was made to do, grind beans!
