For grinding larger quantities of coffee beans for a coffee-drinking crowd, Capresso's commercial-grade Infinity grinder handles 8-1/2 ounces of beans at a time. Sixteen different settings--four each in the four categories of extra fine, fine, regular, and coarse--let you adjust the grind to the specific blend of coffee and method of brewing. The finest setting is ideal for preparing Turkish coffee, which is a rare feature to find in a grinder. A built-in timer sets the grind for anywhere between 5 and 60 seconds so you can walk away without having to constantly press a button to continue the grinding process. The Infinity has an advanced conical burr design made of steel that is usually only found on commercial grinders. This burr design slows down the gears and reduces the amount of friction and heat to preserve coffee's flavor and aroma. The coffee container holds up to 4 ounces of grounds and remains sealed during grinding. For safety, the bean container also needs to be locked into place for the Infinity to operate. For easy cleaning, the bean container and upper burr lift off so you can clean the grinding chamber with the included brush and wipe down the exterior housing. The conical burr grinder measures 7-2/3 by 5-2/5 by 10-4/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

I bought the model 565 instead because it is actually metal and weighs about twice as much as the plastic one. I wanted something solid. This one is. It sits vibration free on the counter while grinding. I tried two other grinders before this one. You will find negative reviews on them somewhere here.
I have been using this one for a couple of weeks now and LOVE it. It does a great job grinding the beans, even flavored, very oily dark roast, the bane of most grinders.. I found the right grind setting for my beans,gold filter and Krups drip pot after only a couple of tries. Makes wonderful coffee. I don't make Expresso, so I can't speak to that. There are five finer settings than the one I use and ten that are courser. I think most people could find one that would work for them. I don't clean it after every use as recommended. Maybe once a week or so. I've had no problems so far.
It's much quieter than any other grinder I've used and I have had very little static problem. Nothing a light tap on the side doesn't handle.
It's not perfect, but as close as I can afford. Bottom line: spend a little more and get the 565. It's worth it.

All of Capresso's grinders are good grinders and do a great job, until the burrs dull, then you're out of luck.
Capresso refuses to sell anything but the upper burr ring. They will not sell the lower burr. When your burrs dull, you have no option but to throw the grinder away. Capresso may have a refurbed unit to sell you but their price is about what they go for new.
Just be warned that a normally replaceable part is not replaceable part on any of Capresso's burr grinders. The saddest part is that there is no reason to not sell the lower burr, except to force you to buy a new grinder.

First of all, there are 4 different models. For some reason, that basic information was difficult to find. I even called the company and the person on the phone had to go ask someone.
All 4 models are the same with the exception of the finish:
Black plastic.
Silver painted plastic.
Brushed Stainless steel finish (metal base).
Polished stainless steel finish (metal base).
It turns out they no longer make the polished stainless steel finish. I purchased the brushed stainless steel model 565.05 thinking it was the polished model. The picture was wrong. And even on one side of the box it shows the polished model.
So to me the only drawback to this grinder is the difficulty in picking and receiving the model I wanted.
Otherwise in my limited use so far, it is perfect. I suggest a metal base model so that it does not vibrate around. The brushed stainless steel matches my Breville machine perfectly too.
I studied a lot of grinders and this was the best model and price. I paid $119 with free shipping. Very easy to use; Pour some coffee beans in and spin the knob.

It's ok if you don't mind a big mess.
I have had this grinder for about 6 months. It's extremely quiet, and contributes to delicious tasting coffee. However, I have never had a grinder that makes such a mess. Read more

Steal!
It's tough to find an affordable/consumer burr grinder that can grind turkish fine. It has worked great so far. Easy to disassemble and clean as well.

Good grind, poor design.
I gave this product 2 stars instead of 1 mainly because the grind itself is just fine, very consistent and easily adjusted. That said, the rest of the design is terrible. Read more
