For grinding larger quantities of coffee beans for a coffee-drinking crowd, Capresso's commercial-grade Infinity grinder handles 8-1/2 ounces of beans at a time. Sixteen different settings--four each in the four categories of extra fine, fine, regular, and coarse--let you adjust the grind to the specific blend of coffee and method of brewing. The finest setting is ideal for preparing Turkish coffee, which is a rare feature to find in a grinder. A built-in timer sets the grind for anywhere between 5 and 60 seconds so you can walk away without having to constantly press a button to continue the grinding process. The Infinity has an advanced conical burr design made of steel that is usually only found on commercial grinders. This burr design slows down the gears and reduces the amount of friction and heat to preserve coffee's flavor and aroma. The coffee container holds up to 4 ounces of grounds and remains sealed during grinding. For safety, the bean container also needs to be locked into place for the Infinity to operate. Also, for easy cleaning, the bean container and upper burr lift off so you can clean the grinding chamber with the included brush and wipe down the and heavy-duty zinc die-cast housing with Stainless Steel finish.

"Excellent for the price, not amazing for french press" 2010-04-24By

Espresso aficionados will tell you that, if you have $500 to spend on espresso equipment, you should go with a $400 grinder and a $100 espresso maker -- a good grind is THAT important to a good cup of espresso. Granted, I've never used a $400 grinder, but I would say that this grinder is the exception. I have used the Braun burr grinder and could see no value in it, so returned it. The Capresso Infinity produces an excellent espresso grind with no static (static indicates an uneven grind). As another reviewer said, some grinds stay in the grinder -- I usually tap the machine forward at 45 degree angle and then back on it's bottom to get them out. You would think that such a maneuver would knock the burr off-center, but it's still working great after over a year of multiple uses per day. The only drawback is that the coarse grind is not terribly coarse -- if your main brewing method is a french press, you may be happier with the Cuisanart burr grinder -- which does nicely with coarse grind but produces insane amounts of static at an espresso grind.
"What a Difference" 2010-04-23By
T. KestlyIve been researching coffee grinders for over a month, and , I finally decided on the infinity. Im using it to grind for a french press and auto drip. Which is nice because I dont need to change the setting. I can tell the difference right away compared to the small grinder ive been using. This thing is GREAT--I love it--Its quiet, its easy to use,just make sure you clean it after each use. The grind comes out perfect every time. People talk about the static, thats only if you grinding super fine. Amazon is the only place to get it--Take a chance--You wont be disappointed----Make sure you read the directions - Good Luck !!

We bought this grinder along with a french press and we're loving the fresh coffee. The grinder works great, it is a little messy thou

The Capresso 565 is a fantastic product. It completely measured up to the descriptions provided. Quite, efficient, consistant. Definitely worth the price.
"Even grind, but a lot of effort in constant cleaning" 2010-04-21By

The Good: Fits a 12 oz. bag of beans in the hopper just perfectly. At two notches off the finest grind, takes exactly three full dial twists to finish the job. Does not get hot at all, produces an even grind.
The Bad: Even on small batches of 4-5 scoops, leaves a full scoop of grounds in the burrs that must be brushed out, regardless of roast or oiliness of the bean being used. This may be more effort than most want to put in. The included brush is a silly small 2 cent affair and must be replaced with a good brush from the local coffee or cooking store. Bogs down at 1 notch from finest. I notice that their idea of fine is not the same as the average coffee shop using even a Bunn grinder. The Fine (not espresso) for paper filter/Melita from a Bunn is about the same as the very finest setting on this grinder, which is far from Turkish. I would not recommend it for espresso or finer grinds. My old Braun, which had flat burrs, created a better grind, though it ran hotter and created more dust, but that is the nature of small grinders that truly achieve a fine grind.
Hints: Again, replace the brush with a larger natural bristle brush from the local coffee or cooking store, it will allow you to clean the burrs much faster. What I do is remove the top burr, brush that off above the coffee filter to recapture those grounds. I then hold the entire unit with my hand supporting it under the clear plastic receiver, while I use the brush to push extra grounds from the lower burr into the opening that goes to the receiver. Takes me about 30 seconds to get everything reasonably clean and recapture most of the coffee. Oh, and I also put an "x" of masking tape on top of the hopper cover after the 4th time I forgot to remove it (it is invisible) and emptied a scoop of beans on top of the cover, not realizing in my morning stupor that I had not yet removed it. My floors are now bean-free!
