Pretty Good

My previous grinder was a Solis, a very substantial machine. But it did eventually quit. The Jura-Capresso is less expensive but also smaller and lighter. The arrangement of burrs, collar, hopper, etc., seem to be the same and the grind seems the same. So the telling factor will be how long it lasts. Over all, I'm content with it.

good grinder for money

We had a Cuisinart grinder for 3 yrs but the last 6 mo or so, I was having to clean it every morn... thats the last thing you want, when you want and need fresh coffee. I like the Jura because of the conical burr that is replaceable (instead of purchasing an entire new grinder). Gives a nice even grind and does not burn the beans like the Cuisinart was doing toward the end when it would load up. Only complaint is the hopper for the grounds... better then the "ultra static-y" Cuisinart, but still it harbors some static. I would have loved the straight drop Kitchen Aid with the glass hopper but could not venture the extra hunderd plus dollars. Otherwise Jura provides GREAT value!

Fantastic!

I bought my first burr grinder about 3 years ago. Paid $100. for it and was disappointed as it didn't grind the coffee fine enough for me. Then I bought a $200.00 grinder, which worked well enough but the coffee bin was black so it was difficult to see the coffee and it was loud. One day it just stopped grinding. I decided to try for something in the middle price range this Capresso is wonderful. The coffee is ground exactly as I like it, it is quiet, clean and with a clear coffee bin it is easy to see how much coffee is in there! I had been shopping around and know that most places sell this for $149.00 I got it here for $89. I am one happy camper as they used to say.

It is easy to clean, but I suggest you use a pastry brush and/or a soft bristle toothbrush.

This works great, assuming you follow the directions. That means that if you do wash the burrs in water, you absolutely, positively must have them completely dry. Beyond that, I'm finding I'm using a lot less coffee and getting a lot more flavor than with the Melitta Grind N'Brew this helped replace. A most worthwhile investment that will help you experience coffee in a whole new way and for a lot less money than plunking down a couple of bucks at the nearest java emporium.

Quiet and efficient

After using a Cuisinart (twice) and having each die in less than a year, I decided to try a slightly more expensive different brand of burr grinder. This one is working like a champ, and I really love it. It operates much quieter, and does a fine grind very efficiently. It also comes with a little brush and directions on how to clean it - something that wasn't included (or even possible) with the Cuisinart. Takes a few uses to figure out how long to run it for a pot of coffee's worth, but that's the only constructive criticism I can come up with. Otherwise, I'd recommended most highly.

So quiet you wonder whether it's working

This is a great grinder! So quiet, not at all messy, multiple settings, large capacity (yet I often use it to grind just three tablespoons), plus it's attractive. It is not stainless steel, however, just a heavy plastic (?) with a stainless look. I am thoroughly satisfied, and our whole family really enjoys it.

Definitely worth it!

Excellent grinder...consistent grind, easy to operate, and contributes to a great cup of coffee.

Good Value - Good Performance

This grinder does exactly what it is supposed to do. It can grind coffee however fine or coarse you want it. For $90, it is the best conical burr grinder you can get for the money.

Good grinder - it's a first burr grinder I have had, so can't compare to other ones of this kind, but I am very happy with the product. Quiet, easy to setup.

Excellent Burr Grinder

This is a great burr grinder. It's a must for coffee enthusiasts. I bought a french press and needed a grinder that would allow me to change the courseness of the beans. The grinder is solid. The beans are ground even everytime. I have no complaints at all. I will never go back to a blade grinder ever again. I definately recommend this product.

Great grinder, but a little hard to clean

This grinder is fast and quiet, and the grind is very even. The burrs look like they'll last forever. However, a fair bit of coffee remains in the grinding chamber after the grinding is done, so there's a bit of clean-up involved.

Another point, which has nothing to do with the grinder itself, is that the web site listed this as a special price at $139, marked down from something like $169. Jura-Capresso's catalog, included in the package, lists the regular price as $139.

This Conical Burr Coffee Grinder is our first one of its type. We really like it! Especially from using either an antique manual grinder or electric blade-whirrling type. This burr grinder doesn't create static electricity in the ground beans. It's quiet, too. We found that running the grinder for a few extra seconds and giving it a few gentle taps works well in loosening and dislodging the remaining ground beans. There are some grounds that do remain and have to be brushed out. Compared to what we've had in the past, this model is so much nicer and easier to use.

coffee time machine

grinds in seconds
no guessing for right grind
no cleaning up messes from ground coffee
quieter than other grinders I have purchased
ease of use
A must for the fresh coffee addict

This grinder is quieter than I expected. It grinds evenly and adjusts easily. The only part I am thrilled about so far, is residue coffee spilling out after the compartment with ground coffee has been removed. No matter how much I shake it before removing the compartment, half a teaspoon falls out as soon as the compartment is removed. Otherwise, a great product

The Infinity does a great job. Plenty of settings to get just the grind you want. Makes a huge difference over blade grinders for both cappuccino and regular brew coffee. My only complaint I have is this grinder generates a bit of static so the ground coffee sticks to the bottom container. But, for the price, you can't beat this grinder.

Worth the money

Looked at several burr grinders and this had the best reviews for the cost. It is quieter than the Cruisart one, but it does have alot of grind left in the chamber even after it is done grinding. Not a big problem just need to remember to clean it out after a couple of grinds.

Nice Upgrade From a Blade

For years I have used a blade grinder for my drip coffee. I received a press pot for Christmas and needed a better way to control my grind. This Infinity Conical Burr Grinder is a wonderful step up. Quieter than my old blade and does a good job of adjusting the size of the grind. It leaves a fair amount of residual in the grind chamber, but removing the upper hopper and top burr is effortless so it easy to clean and brush out with the supplied brush.

It is unusual that there is no on/off switch. Instead the timer serves as the power switch. There are times when there are no more beans in the hopper and the unit continues to grind until the timer "times out" and powers off. However you can twist the hopper beyond the course setting and it will power off or unplug it. But that appears to be a minor inconvenince at this time.

Otherwise, this grinder appears to be a good value for around $100. I would recommend it as a gift for someone or if you are upgrading from a blade grinder and are on a budget.

The Capresso grinder has replaced a smaller 2-year old De Longhi that was very messy and not performing very well. The Capresso grinder is first-rate. No regrets whatever about this purchase. Thanks.

Solidly built, very good grinding range. The coarsest grind for French press still has some residual powder, but I have yet to see a grinder without that. Much quieter than the competition. Very tight-fitting components, so there is no spillage. So far, virtually no static, but I suspect that might be also a function of the type of beans & their packaging. This is our third burr grinder and is by far the best.

Excellent performance. Grinds well & evenly. Easy to handle. Only problems: Hard to clean grinding parts, and too much coffee is left in machine after use.
