Others say...
"Easy cleaning" With a burr grinder, cleaning is often a mess! This one is easy to dis-assemble ... then just use a vacuum to clean out any residue. The infinite grind setting feature is also a plus. Also, use the manufacture's hint of measuring the whole beans and then grind all of them ... Great product!!! "Don't hesitate because of negative reviews..." ...this is a great product! We (my husband and I) have had ours for five months and love everything about it. It's convenient to use and makes GREAT coffee. We fill the "hopper" and when we want to make coffee (which we do every morning) we turn the dial to how many cups we want to brew and it grinds the perfect amount of beans. NO MEASURING, just one step: turn the dial. Then we pull out the cup that holds the ground coffee, dump the grinds in the coffee filter, push "on" on the coffee maker, and put the cup back in the Capresso grinder. It's that easy for tremendously flavorful coffee. (note on coffee: we've been buying dark roasts because they have the most flavor. However, the darker the beans the less caffeine, so we make the coffee "strong.") Anyway, I've read reviews on here that elaborate on how difficult it is to clean etc. and I just don't get it. I don't want to offend anyone but those reviews sound compulsive to me. If you slide the cup in, which is easy, then the grounds go into the cup. The cup is very easy to clean. What else do you need to clean? I suppose if you want to use this only occasionally like once a month or less you may not want to brew the grounds that have sat in the burr grinder all that time and it could be an issue. If that's the case I would recommend going with a small grinder that better suits your rate of consumption. I have never needed to empty the grinds from within the machine so I can't tell you if it is difficult to get them out or easy (like tipping a toaster upside down and shaking it.) One suggestion would be (for example if you go on vacation) to grind enough beans to push the old ones out, and throw the old ones away. If you're just a regular person who likes great coffee on a regular basis, or you want to give a grinder to someone who drinks coffee on a regular basis as a gift, buy this with confidence. "OK. Somewhat messy, short life" The item was purchased in October 2007. It did a good job of grinding coffee, until it died about a week ago Until that time, the only downside was that the receptacle for the ground coffee would ease out while grinding and ground coffee that would come out and also get between it and the machine. This residual ground coffee had to be cleaned out in order for the receptacle to be put back in for grinding. "excellent burr grinder" First, if you're thinking that ANY blade grinder is an acceptable substitute for a burr grinder -- IT'S NOT. Find a burr grinder or you just get a nasty mess. I bought this Capresso when my Krups burr grinder broke after 18 months of use. (The Krups has LOTS of design flaws. DON'T buy the Krups!) The $89 price tag was a little daunting. Also the many reviews of how hard it is to assemble, etc. But I am immensely satisfied with this machine. It works quietly and smoothly. Simple, elegant design. Easy to fill the hopper, easy to use the ground coffee. The burrs are generously sized, and would therefore appear to stay cool during the grind. This is important. The ground coffee is uniformly ground...GOOD. The grinding is relatively quiet -- a LOT quieter than the Krups. I particularly like that you can fill the hopper during the grind. Grind adjustment is easy, and the variation between coarse and fine grind is excellent. The switch is a simple mechanical timer. Looks hard to break. The Krups switch, by contrast, was flaky and often challenging to turn on. As to all those "be careful" and "hard to unpack" comments...frankly they frightened me. I don't know who these people are! The actual unpacking and assembly was a piece of cake. As for the guy who says he "sounds like 'that guy'" -- hey, fella you ARE THAT GUY!" I am happy to recommend this grinder despite the scary $89 price! "Great first Burr Grinder!!!" I did a lot of looking before I bought this Capresso 560. It has not disappointed. I LOVE the consistent grind coarseness and find the range is perfect as I can easily adjust it to acceptable thickness for drip, or french press, or vacuum coffee production. I don't do expresso so I'm not sure about suitability for that. I have no problems with the collection bin (as others reported). I've been using it a month and give it top ratings. (PS: I went for the Black Plastic version as it is a outstanding value and grinds equally well as the optional metal housing version)

What our customer's say! "AWESOME", I used my espresso machine for the first time yesterday and I messed around with the settings on this until I was able to make a perfect shot of espresso on my machine.. Its an awesome grinder. I'll use it for coarser grinds for regular coffee and for my espresso. Yay for fresh coffee!!! "Best for the money", It does an excellent job for both making regular coffee and espresso type drinks. I wish cleaning every time you use was not necessary. "Very, very good", Even without resorting to the instructions first, unpacking and assembly was simple. I can't imagine how anyone could have trouble unpacking it... and yet some did. We use it for espresso and it is quick and not too noisy, the grind is very even. Not cheap, but very effective. "Capresso 560", After initial setup, which was a bit of a pain, the machine is working just fine. Consistent grind. The bowl is very fragile, so be careful or you will break it. "Design flaws--I returned it", I got this to grind just once, and the coffee I made was very very good. Then I could never get it to grind again--I just couldn't get the top to align properly so that I could set the grind setting. Also cleaning was not quick and easy. The grinds fell all through the machine, requiring it to be taken apart and each part wiped, to prevent the grounds from going rancid and affecting taste down the road. 
Read this reviews before You buy... "Never buy ground coffee beans again", After you invest a little time and coffee beans, you will enjoy using this grinder. Buy a few ounces each of several roasters' whole beans. Then, experiment with your settings. With a little practice, I found exactly which settings work best for each type of coffee, the drip coffee maker, and the expresso machine. "the butterknife trick", I've had this for a couple of weeks and have used it daily. Clean-up is manageable but annoying. I clean it everyday, as I do not like to leave grinds in the bottom burr. The grind is pretty even (I use fine for Aeropress and coarse for French press). It is not that noisy. This is my first burr grinder so I can't compare it to others. Now for the trick. Did you insert your upper burr upside down, and customer service is closed? Here's the infamous butterknife trick, which I could not find a good description of anywhere. If you look down at the top of your grinder, you will notice that there is a 4-inch curvy slit in the outer black ring surrounding the burr. It looks like this outer black ring is stationary, but it moves, I swear. Insert a butter knife into this slit, and use it to rotate the ring counter-clockwise until the right side of the smiley face is at about 3 o'clock (assuming the grind catcher is at 6 o'clock). The upper burr will pop right out. For improvements, Capresso needs to include a better quality brush for clean up and include the butterknife trick in their instruction manual. "Shiny and sleek but OVERRATED.", I have owned this item for ~3yrs. While very compact and modern-looking there are a number of issues to take note of: 1. The potential for stale grinds, let me explain: Grinds are "pushed" down into the clear plastic container after they have been ground. However, the last remaining beans will invariably not be pushed down and will remain there until your next coffee bean grinding. This could mean weeks if you do not use the unit often. The end result: stale grinds the next time you use the machine. Yes, you can shake the unit to allow them to fall into the plastic container but why should I have to resort to this method to get fresh grinds every time? 2. Cleaning this unit is quite difficult. Not because I am lazy, but because of the actual design of the unit. There are cracks and crevices everywhere, which makes cleaning this unit a chore. Not to mention one of the metal grinders is beginning to rust. 3. I despise the clear plastic container setup. If the container is not exactly placed in the bin, grinds will seep into the back (behind the bin and in front of the plastic container). What this means is if you are grinding an entire bag of beans (which means you will empty the plastic container ~2-3 times) the grinds that wedged their way into the back will PREVENT you from pushing the plastic container tight up against the back of the bin. End result: more cleanup to do when you are done. 4. I'm sure this is with all burr grinders but the cord does not adequately suit my needs, it is too short. If your outlet is nearby then you are in good shape, but if it is more than 2-2.5ft away, I wish you luck. 5. Builds up a lot of static grinds. IOW, the grinds will stick to the plastic container or fly out when dumping them out into your can/container. In conclusion, I do have to say the unit grinds coffee very well and the look is very stylish. In all honesty, I just want a unit that will grind coffee very well and not give me hassles. This unit means the one (grinds well) but falls far short of the other (hassles). For this reason I am trashing my unit and researching to purchase a new grinder. "This is a great coffee grinder - highly recommended", My search for a really good cup of coffee led to the realization that low speed conical burr grinding really seems to make a difference in the flavor of the coffee. Maybe it's because the high speed grinders can heat the beans up which drives off some of the flavor, and makes the coffee seem more bitter. Maybe it's because the grinders with blades really don't make a consistent grind. I don't know, but coffee just tastes better coming from a conical burr grinder. Now, which grinder to pick? This grinder is quiet, low speed so you don't get the static electricity problems. It's easy to clean, and has tremendous control on the fineness of grind. It's also an inexpensive choice compared to some of the other grinders of similar quality. It seems to be holding up well for past several years, which includes some heavy use -- such as time I ground up 35-lbs of coffee while running a coffee stand at our local Relay For Life event. The grinder is running just as well now as it did the first day I bought it. Couple this grinder with a good French Press, and some fresh fair trade coffee (Tanzanian Blend whole bean from Equal Exchange is my favorite), and you'll be making the most fantastic cups of coffee you've ever tasted. "Very happy with purchase", I've been using a Cuisanart Grind Central for the past couple of years, and while it's pretty, there have been some things I've not been happy with, particularly the constant dust cleanup. I decided to upgrade to this burr grinder when I got a new coffeemaker, and I VERY happy I did. This is much quieter than the Cuisanart, and gives me much more control overall. Much better quality grind, in my opinion, and I like that I can do espresso as well as coarser grinds. It was very easy to put together and operate, although I'd definitely recommend reading the instruction manual so you don't encounter some of the problems other reviewers have had. |
