 Not very good.Jul 05, 2010
I've owned this for 2 years now. I am very surprised with it's poor performance. I owned a Braun for several years and it was very good for spices and coffee. I got a Krups with a tilted base that was probably at or below the performance of Braun for both. By controlling time of grind you have direct control of the grain size with a uniform distribtuion. Now with the Capresso we have found for grinding spices it is poor at controlling the granularity. I am not sure if this is by intent but you get a larger (coarser) particulate irrespective of time.
I would not buy this again. I am now buying a 2nd Krups to replace it. I would recommend the Krups or the Braun.
stopped working after 2 weeksJun 23, 2010
Had to return. Stopped working after two weeks. Also, it wasn't very powerful. Had to grind the coffee much longer than I did with my previous grinder (KitchenAid model which was discontinued).
 great taste!Jun 04, 2010
i have owned many grinders over the years, proctor silex, cuisineart, b+d, starbucks, braun and krups. my two favorites were the braun and krups and i was very close to getting another one of either but i read about the capresso and gave it a try. i am very glad i did. is it quiet? i would say quieter than most and perhaps a 8 out of 10. is it strong enough to grind tough beans? again it depends on what you are trying to use it for but i would say about an 8 out of 10. i think it seems a little less powerful than some because the design attemps to not over grind the beans and keep them cool. but in the regard of making a superlative tasting pot of coffee which is most important to me, i would give it a 10. it is by far the best i have owned. follow the instructions and the coffee does not stick to the cup. follow the instructions and the coffee tastes better than any i have previously used. if you do not like this unit it is because you are expecting something more dramatic. i respect things that are properly designed and do their job well because i am an engineer. this grinder does exactly what they say it does and produces great coffee. my wife agrees!
Motor quitMay 17, 2010
I bought this back in October, and used it to grind coffee beans twice a week or so. The motor abruptly stopped spinning the blades today. I am currently weighing whether to send it back to Capresso or to just buy a new one.
Lid hard to open w/ dry fingersApr 14, 2010
Used for flax seed. Fast, but left partial seeds at the bottom. Had to use a fine-mesh strainer. The lid is too smooth for me to flip open with dry fingers.
