Capresso Infinity Plus Conical Burr Grinder, Black

This grinder is operating smoothly and is absolutely worth the cost for us. It is so quiet and quality is there for the various grind levels. Husband is a coffee "snob" and uses multiple methods for brewing. So far with each method, he has loved it. The design is easy to operate and the materials are quality and seems it will last a long time. Will update if any of this changes over time.

This is our fourth and latest grinder over the last 15 years. All were manufactured by different major companies. In many ways, this Capressso is the best so far: 1) VERY nice, consistent grind which is easy to adjust 2) Very easy to operate, disassemble and clean 3) The grind procedure is fast. Note: Directions state grinding should be limited to 3 minutes at a time. That is not practical for us, so I did 1/2 of a bag (12 minutes), no heat problem. I allowed the Capresso to sit for 20 minutes, then finished the bag's contents. Again, no problem or obvious heating of the Capresso noted. 4) The Capresso is more thoughtfully designed than others we have used. The conical burrs appear to be well designed, bean feed was smooth and maintenance of the grind chamber is pretty easy. We use a dark roast that is rather oily and we had no issues with clogging. 5) Quiet operation with very minimal vibration 6) THE ONE NEGATIVE...From the first 12 cup grind, this unit generated MORE STATIC than any unit I have experienced! The clinging coffee grounds became a problem reinserting the ground coffee container and that area had to be cleaned repeatedly during the grind. also, fair amounts of ground coffee were stuck inside the grind container making emptying messy. Our counter top and the machine were covered with errant coffee particles by the time I finished. I am glad we grind in quantity: I can't imagine going through that mess every day.

I've been using a Baratza Encore for well over a decade and decided to put it into retirement. It has served me well, but I wanted to try something different. The Capresso Infinity Plus has exceeded my expectations. First, the Capresso is much quieter than the Encore and does a great job of grinding coffee course or fine. The adjustments are easy to make and clearly marked. It also stops grinding by itself, thanks to the timer control. (Note: if you use different coffees and grind only as much as you need for a pot, no problem. Weigh your coffee, put it in the hopper, then set the dial to run the grinder long enough to grind it all. I wouldn't count on the timer's numbers to correlate to number of cups of coffee, as some have suggested.) Our family is very pleased with the Capresso Infinity Plus grinder. We even feel that the coffee is being ground better, resulting in improved coffee flavor, and that's what it's all about!

I got this because it said it can grind small enough for Turkish coffee. That is true. But, it takes a while. At the Turkish coffee setting, I think the burrs have a harder time grabbing onto the bean. So they bounce around in there, sometimes with nothing happening. At first, my trick was to temporarily open up the grind size to the next higher one or two settings, and then it grabs the beans and we're back in business. Even at that next higher setting, it is really okay for Turkish coffee. But I wanted the finest grind. So I figured out I could first place the beans in my mortal and pestle and just crush them first into small pieces. Yes, it's one extra step, but it's faster than putting whole beans into the grinder on the finest setting. This did the trick for me, and I could grind about 20 g of beans in about three minutes. It does grind it extremely fine. I think it's finer than flour. I mention three minutes because that is the maximum recommended run time before letting the machine cool down for a bit. The manual recommends this so the heat of the machine does not affect coffee flavor. If you are doing espresso size, none of what I mentioned above is a concern. It will do espresso grind with no problems. It seems to be a very well built machine. Other than the issue with Turkish grind, it is easy to use. For cleaning, they give you a little brush to rub around the burrs and there is a little exit port you push the unused grinds through. You can get most of the grinds out, but some seem to gather in the seams. No big deal. I docked one point because it has a harder time grabbing the beans for Turkish grind. If I was using this for espresso I probably would have given it five stars.

turned it on for the first time and it literally exploded! rendering it destroyed !

He usado el molino por más de 2 años. Mientras se le dé mantenimiento la funcionalidad no se ve degradada.

Love +++ this grinder. After having several less expensive grinders stop working at about 1 year (about $100 each), decided to get a good one. You don't need to wait to grind again, it's quiet compared to other grinders, it's not very tall so fits easily under kitchen cabinets (big selling point) and makes great coffee. I'm beginning to think that my husband loves this grinder more than me but I'll be reviewing him next. 😉 Highly recommended and a great eco-friendly choice not repeatedly buying coffee grinders (we're big coffee drinkers and make excellent coffee at home.

Easy to use, grinds well and very little mess.Also much easier to clean than other brands I've had.

FONCTIONNE TRÈS BIEN.
