Product Description

Conical 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. Slowest grinding speed in its class creates less friction and heat build up preserving maximum aroma and flavor in any grind setting Tight fitting ground coffee container, holds up to 4 ounces of ground coffee See-through bean container holds up to 8.8 ounces of beans Timer can be set to grind from 5 to 60 seconds Elegant, timeless and user-friendly design Cleaning brush and measuring scoop included Dimensions - Height 10.8 x Width 5.4 x Length 7.7 Weight - 3.3 pounds --PLUS-- Coffee Grinder Cleaner

Works great. Not too noisy. Has rubber feet on the bottom and doesn't slide anywhere. Grinds very good. Doesn't overheat. Small amount of static only if you grind coffee continually. Manufacture recommends not to exceed grinding more than 3 times in a row. If you grind only once it doesn't cause static at all. For a full pot of 8 (6oz) cup, I grind 8 tablespoons of beans and set it at 5 on the timer, and all the beans grind perfect and none are left undone. Be careful, some coffee companies require 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 oz cup of water, then your settings would be different. I suggest you buy a cheap clear measurement cup with markings of tablespoons in it so you don't have to be counting each tablespoonfull at a time.

This grinder performs great. Quietest one I have owned. Smooth very consistent coffee. The container tends to move forward while it's running. This lets some coffee grinds escape at the end of the cycle. It has a finger at the bottom to hold it, but doesn't do a great job. I think it needs some sort of slip resistant surface on it. Maybe a thin layer of silicone? Haven't tried yet. Also did not receive the cleaner with the grinder. Still waiting on that, not holding my breath.

This review is from: Capresso 560.04 Infinity Commercial Grade Conical Burr Coffee Grinder Bundle With Grindz Cleaner

I had been using a blade-style grinder, which recently broke. I was never really happy with the the way it ground up the beans, especially if I was only making a single cup. The thing barely worked at all unless there were a certain quantity of beans in there.

I chose this one after reading the reviews here and on some other sites. Although I was somewhat concerned about the reported static problem, this one seemed like the best overall bang for the buck. I have no regrets at all about the choice.

First off, while there is some static after the beans have been ground, it seems to me that the problem is vastly overstated. A bit of fine powder remains stuck to the plastic when I pour the grind into the coffee maker. It really doesn't bother me at all. If it does, it's easy to rinse out.

The unit does its job nicely and easily. I'm not making espresso, so I can't comment on that, but for regular coffee making, the unit is more than capable of doing what I need. The first time I used it, I used a "Fine" setting, and the grind was actually way finer than I needed. I adjusted it to a medium setting, and I'm very happy with the results.

The only drawback I can think of is that, if I allow the unit to run for even a few seconds after the beans have gone completely through the system, it starts to generate a smell like something's burning. It doesn't seem to affect the coffee at all, since it only happens after grinding is complete. I don't know if it's harming anything, and it's pretty easy to avoid once you figure out the proper timer setting. It may also be one of those things that happens when the unit is new and goes away after a while. We'll see.

Overall, I think this unit is hard to beat for the price.
