Editorial Review: Product Description: Conical Burr Grinders preserve the most aromas and can grind very fine and very consistent. The intricate design of the steel burrs allow a high gear reduction to slow down the grinding speed. The slower the speed the less heat is imparted to the ground coffee, thus preserving a maximum amount of aroma. Because of the wide range of grind settings these grinders are ideal for all kinds of coffee equipment such as Espresso, Drip, Percolators, French Press. It can also grind extra fine for the preparation of Turkish coffee. Slowest grinding speed in its class creates less friction and heat build up preserving maximum aroma and flavor in any grind setting Tight fitting ground coffee container, holds up to 4 ounces of ground coffee See-through bean container holds up to 8.8 ounces of beans Timer can be set to grind from 5 to 60 seconds Elegant, timeless and user-friendly design Cleaning brush and measuring scoop included Dimensions - Height 10.8 x Width 5.4 x Length 7.7 Weight - 3.3 pounds Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Design flaws--I returned itI 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. Rating:  - Easy cleaningWith 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!!! Rating: - 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, ... Read More Rating:  - OK. Somewhat messy, short lifeThe 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. Rating: - excellent burr grinderFirst, 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 ... Read More |
