 Good Grinder - Burrs Not ReplaceableJul 18, 2010
All of Capresso's grinders are good grinders and do a great job, until the burrs dull, then you're out of luck.
Capresso refuses to sell anything but the upper burr ring. They will not sell the lower burr. When your burrs dull, you have no option but to throw the grinder away. Capresso may have a refurbed unit to sell you but their price is about what they go for new.
Just be warned that a normally replaceable part is not replaceable part on any of Capresso's burr grinders. The saddest part is that there is no reason to not sell the lower burr, except to force you to buy a new grinder.

 Great machine. Bargain. Love it.May 28, 2010
I am reviewing the brushed stainless steel Capresso 560 Infinity Burr grinder. It has an attractive appearance, but what is nicer is how well it works.
The stainless steel base is heavy giving it not only a real quality feel, but it also does not vibrate on the counter. The weight of the grinder also makes it easy to pull out the grounds cup and push it back in one handed--something my previous grinder, a Soleus Maestro couldn't do because it was too lightweight.
I have been using the grinder for about 4 months now, which means its ground at minimum 240 pots worth of coffee. I have not had many difficulties with the machine whatsoever. My only difficulty has been a self induced problem where the grinder almost ground to a halt because the grounds cup was full--an early morning mistake I had made.
Not all grinding has been completely static free, but most all times have been static free. The mess on the counter-top has been minimal. It seems to follow with which roast I have been grinding as to whether or not I get static. Trader Joe Peaberry gave me static. But Starbucks Sumatra, Cafe Verona, World Market Sumatra and Costa Rican Terazzu have not. I have chucked it up to nothing being 100% all the time. The grinder seems to do well with either oily beans or dryer ones. Other machines I have had usually had trouble with grinding oily or larger size beans.
It is not quiet but it is not as loud as some sort of crappy portable blade grinder. The motor sounds a tad bit cheaper than previous grinders I've had, but I'm not convinced entirely its the motor I hear. It could be the gearing that gives it such a whiny sound.
The hopper is easy to remove. The grinder is easy to clean out. The chute may become blocked if you fill up the grounds cup and keep grinding because it doesn't shut off automatically if the cup becomes full.
I paid 89.95 for this grinder. Its well worth the price. I love the grinder. I gives me trouble free action and a consistent grind every time. I think for most people this grinder would satisfy!

Cheap Hopper & Defective SwitchMay 04, 2010
Bought this burr grinder 4 months ago--does a great job grinding coffee--easy to set amount by the timer. But the hopper is cheap and don't ever take it out to clean--very difficult to put back in. Now the worst part: It won't turn on anymore--the timer is also the on/off, and the cheap plastic hopper must engage a plastic trigger to turn it on. Seems that part no longer trips the power on, so we now have a dead grinder. We have a small Cuisinart burr grinder that we use upstairs, does a great job--3 years old and no trouble--it was $45--1/2 half the price of the Capresso. The Capresso switch is a horrible design that will fail way before the rest of the parts, but what do you do with a dead grinder?
Capresso Conical Burr GrinderApr 29, 2010
Purchased the 560 Infinity Conical Burr Grinder from Amazon. After using several blade grinders and a wheel burr grinder, this conical burr grinder from Capresso leaps to the top of the back. First impression is how quiet it is. I no longer worry about grinding coffee in the morning. Another highlight of this grinder is how evenly the coffee ginds come out. It also appears to generate very low static. When I went to dump out the grounds, nearly all the grounds came out. For the price point (under $100)this grinder has made me a very happy customer.
 Better CoffeeApr 08, 2010
The coffee brewed is smoother but richer with the Burr Grinder. The down side is getting the grounds out of the
burrs. With each time I grind I remove the top burr and brush the grinds into my filter and then brush around the
other burr to get most of the grinds down into the collection cup. Oh by the way, make sure you put the top burr back in correctly with the soft lip side up. Once I somehow got it in upside down and got it stuck.
