" ... I had an older blade grinder that I rarely used so started buying ground coffee. ... "

" ... We french press every morning and are particular about our coffee and this unit has been easy to get the perfect grind. ... "

" ... I noticed the improvement in coffee flavor immediately. ... "

" ... I am not a coffee connoisseur- I have a basic drip coffee maker and don't plan on making Turkish coffee or using a French press anytime soon so I opted for a middle of the road grinder. ... "

" ... This is our second Capresso burr grinder (one for our own roasted coffee beans, and one for the dark roasted beans we buy from Black Rifle Coffee Company, veteran owned and operated). ... "

" ... My coffee taste Exponentially Better as a result of buying this grinder😊😊😊😊 ... "

" ... It grinds the right consistency for a non grind and brew Cuisinart. ... The locally grown and roasted dark roast beans sure taste better than the little blade grinder I used. ... It beats holding down the button on my Mister Coffee grinder. ... I get a consistently good pot of coffee, and I make it part of the ritual to empty out the rest of the grind from inside the machine to the filter. ... Then I take my time enjoying my cup of coffee. ... "

" ... An additional benefit has been that there seems to be less static electricity generated by the grinding, which means that coffee grounds don’t fly up and out of the machine on to the counter when you pull the drawer out. ... "

" ... Does a nice job quickly and quietly grinding the coffee beans to the selected fineness, but cleaning is tedious. ... If you don't clean it each day, you will have a good amount of not-so-fresh coffee mixed in with the newly ground stuff. ... If you use oily, dark-roast beans and/or the finest grind settings, the manual recommends daily cleaning. ... "

" ... Very nice coffee bean grinder, a little hard to clean ... "

" ... Well made, easy to use and clean in two years of use. ... "

" ... Broke a little tab off hopper while cleaning it a while ago and just called customer service, who was very friendly and helpful, and they sent a new one for $5. ... "

" ... I'm used to debris at the bottom of my french press and cold brew I make, I just expected a little better for the coarse setting since this was recommended for cold brew. ... 4) Bought a small brush to clean it and it works well in that respect ... 5) Be careful pouring grinds out from the plastic container - very easy to spill when they get caught in the grooves of the container (especially if you grind up a lot). ... "

" ... To circumvent this problem, I clean the grinder immediately after grinding and throw the thus recuperated coffee inside the collection box, so to use it. ... "

" ... A small cleaning brush is included if you'd like to use it. ... "

" ... Sometimes some ground coffee collects behind the collecting cup, but they provide a brush to quickly clean that area up a well. ... "

" ... I bought the metal one. ... "

" ... Very quiet, high quality material. ... The 565.05 I bought, has the stainless steel exterior which I am happy with. ... "

" ... The build quality, size, and style is all very appealing. ... "

" ... The build quality is good for the price ... "

" ... I purchased the METAL (zinc) version, and it is very much worth the little extra expense. ... The metal version all but eliminates this issue. ... It is a heavy unit and I feel very confident it will last a long time. ... "

" ... Lastly, I cannot say enough about how quiet the Capresso Infinity is. ... "

" ... I like how you can remove the conical grinding mechanism to clean. ... "

" ... Must get a little brush to keep it clean but works great! ... "

" ... Only con is the cleaning, however that is to be expected I guess with the steel blades and perfect grind. ... "

" ... The unit is easy to clean but the grounds tend to pile up near the burrs. ... "

" ... Easy to clean and maintain. ... "

" ... It's simple to clean out and has been great with my Breville Precision Brewer. ... "

" ... Bottom line is this is a great little machine at a great price . ... "

" ... For a low cost item, its great. ... "

" ... worth the skrilla ... "

" ... Somehow I expect more for an item of this cost. ... "

" ... No idea how long it will last, but obviously at this price point hopefully awhile. ... "

" ... Top shelf, high quality and heavy duty ... "

" ... Bottom line - if it holds up over time - I very much like this grinder. ... "

" ... 5) Be careful pouring grinds out from the plastic container - very easy to spill when they get caught in the grooves of the container (especially if you grind up a lot). ... "

" ... The removable container for ground coffee is top loading and it fits very nicely into a Bodum French press beaker, so there are not really any spilled grounds. ... "

" ... Heavy duty grinder but the unit is lightweight and does not take up very much counter top space. ... "

" ... It's ok, and if you keep your under a cabinet like I do it doesn't matter anyway. ... "

" ... It also fits nicely on our counter as well, which was a concern. ... "

" ... Sure, the plastic bean holding bin is easy to break but just know that going into it and make sure you're careful with it. ... "

" ... Now a piece on the plastic that activates and sets the grind coarseness has snapped off making the grinder useless. ... "

" ... It broke far too easily. ... "

" ... Unfortunately, the second grinder has the exact same issue and doesn't sit stable. ... "

" ... The thing locked in place and I couldn't pry it out. ... It should only fit in one way, now I need to pitch it because of lousy engineering. ... "
