This is my third Capresso grinder and the best by far. The others were solid performers and gave little trouble, but this is much better. The five star rating is against others in its class, not against all burr grinders costing hundreds of dollars.I highly recommend this grinder for the home user who is simply into good coffee and wants to grind beans at home just as God intended when he created coffee beans. If you are an advanced user and do the whole range of espresso drinks with a sophisticated espresso maker, you would probably not consider this grinder, worried about the finest grind settings and consistency. But, for the average home user this is a great choice. However, I have had fine espresso makers at home and used my previous Capresso with decent results, even preferring it over another, much more expensive grinder I had at the time.Here's what I like so far:1. It's quiet. Very quiet for a burr grinder.2. I have had no trouble with static electricity. Consider, though, that I use coarser settings for French press and drip brew. My previous Capresso had high static charges even at coarse settings.3. Some complained about the thin plastic of the basket that catches the grinds. Honestly, it's very easy to use. Just don't let your pet orangutan near the basket. If you are not accustomed to grinders, read the instructions and you won't break anything. What I like about the basket is that it has no top like the one with my previous grinder. You simply pull it out between thumb and fingers and pour it directly into wherever it is you want to pour it. The large open mouth makes it easy and there is no lid to fumble or drop. This design also greatly simplified cleaning the basket.4. Did I mention cleaning? Here's another great design feature. There is no twisting or wrestling to get the upper burr out for cleaning. You simply lift it out! Really! It doesn't get much better than that. I rarely cleaned my other grinders because it was a hassle. I don't have that excuse with this one.5. Rather than a separate control for grind settings, with this grinder you simply turn the bean holding bin. It's goofy simple, but I like it.The only thing that took getting used to was the little timer twist knob like on a washer, microwave or toaster oven. Other grinders I had either turned off when there were no more beans, or you set it for so many cups worth of beans. With with one, there are just numbers that don't seem to correspond to cup quantities. You just get used to a certain setting for a certain number of scoops in the bin. And if you miscalculate, you aren't penalized fifteen yards. You simply let it continue to grind until the timer clicks off, twist it a bit more to finish off any remaining beans, or turn the holding bin to the far right position as suggested in the instructions if you are the nervous type and can't bear to listen to it a few more seconds.I checked out a number of burr grinders and believe you won't find a better grinder for the price (I paid $89 through Amazon).

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.

I've had this grinder since 2017 and it works likes new. Consistent and precise grind, delicious coffee using an Aeropress, moka pot, pour over and french press. I only need to clean it after a couple of months with a soft brush. Highly recommended, maybe unless for higher end espresso machines, in which case you might benefit from a more precise grinder.

magnifica molienda, silencioso y eficiente.

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.

I bought this in 2015 and still going strong!! Use regularly... It's pretty quiet, quite fast and produces an even grind. Only complaint, static on the beans makes it messy to clean... Recently bought a new one for my boyfriend, a different brand but same price. That one is junk in comparison!! So loud and constantly stops..Get this one.

Our previous grinder was extremely loud and messy. I just got tired of the noise and cleaning up the mess. After looking at reviews and checking out how they are made, ordered the Capresso. What a treat! Works like a charm. Grinds the beans in half the time, it’s quiet and no mess to clean up. I highly recommend this coffee grinder. Easy to use, easy to take apart if you need to clean it. I haven’t had to do that yet tho.
