"Shame on you Capresso"
Dear fellow consumers, please don't be fooled. Conical burr grinders are high performing grinders for true coffee connoisseurs. A burr grinder that is not conical, technically a burr wheel grinder, is an overpriced fake that performs marginally and CLOGS every few grinds! My favorite part is the nice tan I get from the coffee dust from cleaning this thing with compressed air for 50 minutes!

"Capresso Grinder"
Had this Capresso Grinder for a few weeks; been using a blade grinder forever and decided to upgrade; very easy to use, just push a button and the coffee is perfectly ground; a little static, but nothing a little tapping won't take care of; will make coarse grounds for french press and fine for espresso; have used all settings and they all work as advertised; very happy with this product so far

"Shoot clogs way too easily"
I purchased this grinder because it looked nice and fit with my decor. What I didn't anticipate was that the grinder would clog at the shoot where the coffee goes into the plastic grind container below. Now this really sucks because there is no real easy way to clean the shoot. I usually resort to using a thin butterknife for a little while then when I get the major jam out, I use my can of compressed air to blow out the remaining grinds. This really is dirty because when you do that, grinds blow all over the place. Also, what I hate is that when you take out the container cup, when the grinder is working, static electricity makes the grinds blow all over your counter. I end up banging the container on my counter a few time just to minimize, not eliminate, this situation.

I would never buy this or another product by this company.

"Excellent coffee!"
A Chicagoan, I also love Portland's Stumptown coffees and finally found the perfect way to grind and enjoy the perfect bean. It took me one minute to set this unit up, and it hasn't let me down once. The aroma that comes out when I grind the beans makes coffee brewing all the more enjoyable. Since I purchased my own a few months back, I have bought a couple more units for coffee-lovers that I know. Totally worth the buy!

"It only looks good"
IT only looks good! this thing has never worked right! On the first grind, the motor sounded like it was going into high gear, had to stand there and adjust the grinder switch so the beans would go into the grind wheel. Then, a couple weeks later, had to stand and hold the the lid as well as turn the grind switch back and forth. after the third week, it stopped working because the shoot clogged. found the little cleaning brush was a joke, I couldn't even get it in to the jamb-packed, clogged shoot. after 20 min of unsuccessful attempt I used my air compressor. Have to unclog it with my air compressor every three weeks. So if you don't mind blowing coffee all over you from you air compressor - buy it.
