Capresso Infinity Plus Conical Burr Grinder, Black

This is our fourth and latest grinder over the last 15 years. All were manufactured by different major companies. In many ways, this Capressso is the best so far: 1) VERY nice, consistent grind which is easy to adjust 2) Very easy to operate, disassemble and clean 3) The grind procedure is fast. Note: Directions state grinding should be limited to 3 minutes at a time. That is not practical for us, so I did 1/2 of a bag (12 minutes), no heat problem. I allowed the Capresso to sit for 20 minutes, then finished the bag's contents. Again, no problem or obvious heating of the Capresso noted. 4) The Capresso is more thoughtfully designed than others we have used. The conical burrs appear to be well designed, bean feed was smooth and maintenance of the grind chamber is pretty easy. We use a dark roast that is rather oily and we had no issues with clogging. 5) Quiet operation with very minimal vibration 6) THE ONE NEGATIVE...From the first 12 cup grind, this unit generated MORE STATIC than any unit I have experienced! The clinging coffee grounds became a problem reinserting the ground coffee container and that area had to be cleaned repeatedly during the grind. also, fair amounts of ground coffee were stuck inside the grind container making emptying messy. Our counter top and the machine were covered with errant coffee particles by the time I finished. I am glad we grind in quantity: I can't imagine going through that mess every day.

I've been using a Baratza Encore for well over a decade and decided to put it into retirement. It has served me well, but I wanted to try something different. The Capresso Infinity Plus has exceeded my expectations. First, the Capresso is much quieter than the Encore and does a great job of grinding coffee course or fine. The adjustments are easy to make and clearly marked. It also stops grinding by itself, thanks to the timer control. (Note: if you use different coffees and grind only as much as you need for a pot, no problem. Weigh your coffee, put it in the hopper, then set the dial to run the grinder long enough to grind it all. I wouldn't count on the timer's numbers to correlate to number of cups of coffee, as some have suggested.) Our family is very pleased with the Capresso Infinity Plus grinder. We even feel that the coffee is being ground better, resulting in improved coffee flavor, and that's what it's all about!

Works great and is quiet. Very sturdy construction. I had a much older model and this one is an improvement, particularly, they fixed a problem in the older model in that the container holding the grounds would come loose and I had to tape it shut before turning the unit on.

I got this because it said it can grind small enough for Turkish coffee. That is true. But, it takes a while. At the Turkish coffee setting, I think the burrs have a harder time grabbing onto the bean. So they bounce around in there, sometimes with nothing happening. At first, my trick was to temporarily open up the grind size to the next higher one or two settings, and then it grabs the beans and we're back in business. Even at that next higher setting, it is really okay for Turkish coffee. But I wanted the finest grind. So I figured out I could first place the beans in my mortal and pestle and just crush them first into small pieces. Yes, it's one extra step, but it's faster than putting whole beans into the grinder on the finest setting. This did the trick for me, and I could grind about 20 g of beans in about three minutes. It does grind it extremely fine. I think it's finer than flour. I mention three minutes because that is the maximum recommended run time before letting the machine cool down for a bit. The manual recommends this so the heat of the machine does not affect coffee flavor. If you are doing espresso size, none of what I mentioned above is a concern. It will do espresso grind with no problems. It seems to be a very well built machine. Other than the issue with Turkish grind, it is easy to use. For cleaning, they give you a little brush to rub around the burrs and there is a little exit port you push the unused grinds through. You can get most of the grinds out, but some seem to gather in the seams. No big deal. I docked one point because it has a harder time grabbing the beans for Turkish grind. If I was using this for espresso I probably would have given it five stars.

Worth the little splurge for the grind quality, ease of use, & low noise!

UPDATED with pictures of THREE (3) JUNKED Capresso by JURA If any one wants them, they are going to be dropped off at the local transfer station (Town Dump) recycling shed (on Powisset St.) BTW, two years ago, after the last of the failures, including paying the $100 for factory-rebuilt replacement, I gave up and have been very happy with the slightly less functional inexpensive grinder that is quieter, and perhaps because it is solid plastic does not have the same difficulty with static electricity causing build up of grinds on the container ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.8 years ago, my 50 year old Braun German-made grinder expired of old age. I purchased the Capresso 575 which for under two years was my dream coffee grinder. I've left multiple positive answers and great references for this machine since I bought it BUT NOT NOW (read on!) - first thing in the morning and late at night (I'm a retired firefighter/medic and got pushed into Public Health after retirement so starting in early March, 2020, have found myself working 16-20 hours per day/7 days a week for essentially no pay). The Capresso was so quiet and so reliable -- UNTIL IT WAS NOT! This morning, anticipating yet another day of increased infection rate, more citizen issues, and the need for my morning coffee at 5:48 a.m., I turned the time wheel and no power. The receptacle was not the problem. The grinder motor simply would not even operate. The Juro Capresso provides no reference nor assistance. Searches for troubleshooting suggest this can happen but no reason given. The power cord has never even been extended or stretched. The hopper sits and spins perfectly. No troubleshoot idea applies. It simply DIED. The base is impenetrable because Juro used bolts that are either proprietary or are non-removable. Answer IT Breaks, you buy again seems to be their answer. Can I recommend it now? NO - DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND IT IS UNRELIABLE! ADDED 19-JAN-20 I do follow-up online purchases with recommendations and almost always the content is positive. Indeed, even for this purchase it was indeed very positive, as were the subsequent postings in response to questions of prospective purchasers. That all changed this weekend. My days since early March have started anywhere from 5:30 a.m. to 6:15 a.m., and frequently last past midnight. I've typically run through 3 if not 4 of these 18 ounce mugs filled with brewed coffee (French Roast dark), and if I am lucky my spouse or my administrative assistant (depending on whether working from home office or municipal office) push me to have something to eat usually by 3 p.m. or later. This was January 11th at 4:08 p.m. picture with mug ;even while getting a bite, it is no less than two monitors open; office would show 4 monitors & 3 computers. The last thing I needed was my coffee grinder of less than 2 years age dying and leaving me without those 3 to 4 mugs to keep me going.

Capresso Infinity Plus (Silver) Model 575 05 Received on 2/20/21 - using Daily - Hopper & Grounds (plastic) Container fit perfectly into respective locations (good, parts quality control) - Hopper easily rotates for grind setting and easily removable (& inserted) when following Instructions - Grounds Container’s top & sides a perfect fit (good, parts quality control) - Grinding begins immediately upon turning Timer (to desired setting) - Mechanically, Timer works well; easy adaptation to its operation - Post-grinding: grounds (for my measure) do not find their way out of the Container, but are wholly captured inside (good, parts quality control) - Static inside Grounds Container, after grinding, can be mitigated when removing (Hint: tap Container’s side immediately after slowly withdrawing) - Upper & Lower Burrs: appear well made, but daily cleaning will be required (as with all burr grinders) for long term, consistent grinding - ** Soft Collar (on Upper Burr) does not appear purchasable as a replacement part (it is not shown at Capresso’s web site & no mention in User Instructions) - Soft Collar, which is to be in place (guides beans to Lower Burr chamber), simply slips around (using tension) the top-edge of Upper Burr; vulnerable to tearing or stretching (if badly or continually removed) - softness of this Collar is no doubt, designed to gently guide beans [if a Collar is critical to feeding beans to Lower Burrs & can not (ever) be purchased as a replaceable part, a different, collar design might have been better option, avoiding being rendered unusable. But that doesn't help those of us who now own this model Capresso, which has the Soft Collar.] - Best to avoid any Soft Collar handling (as shown in Instructions) or removing - Silver Model 575 05 weighs 8+ pounds - Weight & Size a factor for cleaning Grind Chamber (removing Upper Burr; see Fig. 6 in User Guide); for some, possible issue since man-handling Grinder’s base (holding upside down) is unwieldy. (Hint: carefully use a small hand-vacuum, after brushing grinds loose, to suck out the remnants as well as any in the Feeder channel) The Capresso Infinity Plus Model 575 05, is well made; manufacturing quality control exceeded expectation for this consumer model; easy operation; and grinding results have been very good & consistent and exceeded expectation I like this Model grinder, I am glad to be using, and most importantly, I am happy with the grinding results. UPDATED 3/31/21 - 4 (solid) stars: well made, good engineering quality-control & easy operability & very good grinding results Rating Note: This Capresso 575 05 model could reasonably deserve a 5 star rating; however in order to gain the 5th star, long term reliability will be the benchmark, which can only be judged after a year's use. - Cautionary Note: As a product sold for daily use, which requires daily cleaning (consistent with all burr grinders), & involves removing Upper Burr to clean both the Upper & Lower Burrs. This Soft Collar could easily be rendered unusable. [I was aware prior to my purchase.] Or as regular use continues, the soft material will age and may become less pliable (so, more prone to cracking). Note to Retailers: Upper Burr’s Soft Collar should be purchasable as a replacement part Note to Capresso: 1 Extra Soft Collar should be in the Box, when purchased New from any Retailer 3/31/21 Comment: I am now less concerned about vulnerability of the Soft Collar, given my cleaning routine does not include removing the Soft Collar. - There are 2 prongs on the Upper Burrs element which enable grasping this element (to lift) without handling the Soft Collar. - However, this does not change the possibility that some inadvertent action could occur which would damage the Soft Collar and necessitate purchasing a replacement. ...As result, I reiterate my Notes (above) to the Retailer & Capresso. Updated 10/11/22 - changed rating to 5 Stars. Has fulfilled my hope for great grinding & reliability. Note: attribute latter to daily cleaning of grind port & grind burrs. Highly recommend.

This grinder seems to be the real deal. It actually delivers a coarse grind unlike the Cuisinart DBM-8P1. True, it's twice the price but easily three times better than the Cuisinart offering. Cleanup is a bit messy but well worth the effort to get a great grinder at an affordable price. Coffee grinders can't help but be a bit noisy nut the Capresso doesn't sound like it will tear itself apart when grinding.

turned it on for the first time and it literally exploded! rendering it destroyed !

Je lui donnerais 10 étoiles si je le pouvais. Il est silencieux, mouture fine (pour expresso), bref je recommande.

He usado el molino por más de 2 años. Mientras se le dé mantenimiento la funcionalidad no se ve degradada.

Easy to use, grinds well and very little mess.Also much easier to clean than other brands I've had.

Love +++ this grinder. After having several less expensive grinders stop working at about 1 year (about $100 each), decided to get a good one. You don't need to wait to grind again, it's quiet compared to other grinders, it's not very tall so fits easily under kitchen cabinets (big selling point) and makes great coffee. I'm beginning to think that my husband loves this grinder more than me but I'll be reviewing him next. 😉 Highly recommended and a great eco-friendly choice not repeatedly buying coffee grinders (we're big coffee drinkers and make excellent coffee at home.
