Product Description 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. Tips for UseThe Infinity Burr Grinder will only grind when the black dot on the bean container points to one of the fineness settings. Turn the timer and grinding starts instantly.Turning the bean container marking (black dot) outside of the fineness settings will stop the grinding immediately. Turning it back to the desired fineness will resume grinding as long as the timer is still running (pulse grinding).Make sure the bean container is empty before removing it from the base otherwise beans will scatter around.

At the time of my first purchase (on Amazon) I would've had a few coffee subscriptions & owed one of several national brand named conical burr grinder; one had just died. My second purchase came after my retirement to kept at a 2nd home and the third was to have one at my sister's place for when I visit; in my mind It's the best value for the money and I recommended it to friends.My first model was the plastic model which still works great but plastic has more static electricity and tends to make more of a mess; metal makes very little mess and I contain it by having the unit on a 8" x 8" silicone tamping pad/mat. Also plastic is much louder (metal insulates the sound and its solid construction seems to vibrate less). I've been roasting my own coffee beans for over six years and often think of upgrading because of the small amount of residual grounds left in the machine. When the price of a Single Dose Coffee Grinders comes down to $300 I'll get one. And if I've repeatedly used oily dark roasted bean I'll clean it since the oily residue permits additional coffee dust clinging which effects the cup’n quality.I mostly drink pour over; but have a magnetic coffee grind size chart for when I do French Press, Italian Moka, or pull out my Camping Percolator. You can dial in an Espresso grind that is usable but need to tamp it lots more.I think I wrote a review back in 2009 shortly after I bought mine, so forgive the slight skew to the numbers. This hefty home burr grinder was head and shoulders above the other non-commercial burr grinders then, and I would still put my old Capresso up against many of the burr grinders available to home users in this price range. Frankly, all burr grinders are noisy and require you to remove the burr(s) once in awhile for cleaning, and yes, I have replaced the plastic hopper with the little tab that breaks off and the plastic ground coffee catcher tray due to a crack from me whapping it on the counter to settle the static. These quirks aren’t dealbreakers, but Jura’s customer service is awful, so I’m glad I haven’t needed to deal with them but once.All this said, what I can to the discussion isA) yes, the burrs stay sharp. You don’t need to worry about them going dull in the grinder’s lifetime.B) as long as you allow the motor to cool and keep the conduit to the ground coffee container clear, you can grind multiple batches. I wouldn’t do more than, say, 2 lbs without a complete cooldown.C) Putting the pieces back after cleaning isnt hard if you refer to the User Manual until you get the hang of it. There are good pictures there. If it doesn’t fit, don’t force it.D) If you are grinding dark, oily beans, they will gum up the works and clog the outlet conduit, just like the manual says. Keep it cleaned out by tipping it up and giving the body of the grinder a tap, OR run the grinder for a few seconds after all coffee has been ground. You may still have a buildup due to oil that you need to remove with a brush from time to time.E) Static. Yes, this is an issue for anyone new to burr grinders, but it is an issue with ALL burr grinders. A tap to the ground coffee tray before pulling it out will usually help, but basically the static charge needs to be released. Bottom line: Wet your hand or put hand lotion on and touch the container. One source suggested rubbing the exterior of the plastic container with a dryer sheet (!) now and then so it doesn’t build up static charge.This particular model, Capresso 565, is the one with the heavy metal outer case. That is a nice design feature which gives the unit a lot more heft and stability and presumably helps dissipate static electricity. There are several pluses about this compresso grinder. It appears to be well built and well engineered. However, there are some serious design and/or manufacturing flaws. I can only base this on my experience with the two units that I received from Amazon. The first unit looked like it was brand new out of the box although I bought it through the Amazon warehouse as used. It showed no signs whatsoever of having been used. However, it had a serious problem in that the bean hopper which has to be turned to adjust the different grind settings was extremely difficult to turn. This was not because the burr was in upside down or it was otherwise assembled wrong. I could not see where the problem was in the sticking of the bean container. I even called capreso user support and the only thing they could tell me was about the problem of people putting the top burr in upside down and causing the unit to lock up. This was not the case in this situation. It took me having to remove the case to look for the place that the sticking was occurring and I discovered that it was happening because of a thin plastic ring that sits on top of the grinder under the bean hopper that acts as a locking mechanism and I suppose keeps some of the grinds out of the inside of the unit. When assembled that ring was so tight that it prevented the bean hopper from turning except with great amount of force. Removing that ring caused the bean hopper to be able to move and adjust very easily as it was intended, however this was obviously not the way the design was created. I called Amazon and requested a replacement for that unit and when the second one came it had exactly the same problem. It also looked like it was entirely brand new it just did not have a box so I suspect both of these units were returned to Amazon when the buyers discovered the machine did not operate as it should. The bottom line is that, at least for the two units that I had experience with, there is a significant design and/or manufacturing flaw in these 565 units. It could have just been a bad manufacturing run of the little thin plastic ring but nevertheless it causes the device not to work as it should. This at least would be poor quality control at the factory. That feature could have been easily tested before it was shipped out to be sold. I also went ahead and tested the coffee grinding of this grinder and it was wonderfully quiet and stable as it was grinding and the grounds were acceptably uniform. However the range of grind was skewed quite a lot toward the fine end of the scale. It was impossible to turn it down even to the most extreme course setting and get a coarse grind. The best that it would do is what I would call a medium grind. Additionally, there is still a significant static electricity problem as the ground coffee goes into the receptacle box. I also noticed that considerable amount of coffee grounds were being thrown past the receptacle box down into the area where it sits. That was totally unacceptable to me as I have had numerous other grinders that did not do this in the same price range. All in all, this was a very disappointing experience because otherwise this was a very nice looking and seemingly well-built grinder for its price point. Hopefully Capresso headquarters will read some of these reviews and take it upon themselves to correct some of the manufacturing problems. I wish I could have kept it and I wish I could give a better review but it was not possible under these circumstances. I am an engineer and I know a lot about machinery and electric devices and this is not a casual review. I try to tell it like it is about the things that I send reviews on.Was eager to get to use my first coffee grinder, and when I received and opened the box there were coffee grinds inside the plastic bag that the grinder came in. Opening up the top shows that all the white plastic has been stained the colour of coffee, with bits of coffee dust everywhere, however the containers that came with it are new. I thought it might be factory testing, but that doesn't explain the usage evident on the machine. I suspect I have received a used/refurbished unit when it the product is advertised as being new. This is unacceptable and I will be returning it. The grinder seems to be well reviewed, so I will order another, and hopefully it will be a new one.After about seven years of satisfied use we broke the upper plastic bean hopper on our original grinder of the same brand and make . This replacement works as well as the original. as long as you regularly clean the grinder to prevent buildup of fine grinds this unit should work well for you (especially if you use this for oilier beans with fine grinds such as espresso). Our only complaint is that we were not able to just replace the plastic hopper. We were not able to find this part online anywhere (just the grinding burrs and the timer). we tried to contact Capresso directly but our emails were ignored. based upon that we probably should have bought a different grinder but online research tuned up similar complaints with competitive models at similar price points- I read the reviews, some said this was suitable for a French Press - but it is NOT!- The grind was too fine for a French Press - I contacted the manufacturer regarding the grind - sent pictures of the various grind coarseness of coffee, and was told it was performing as it should.- The coarsest coffee grind was too fine for a French Press - the coffee was bitter!- If using a French Press - Do Not Buy!- It may be suitable for other types of coffee makers/espresso machines where a finer grind is required.This is my first experience with a bur grinder. Used to have a blade grinder.Pros:* my coffee doesn't have that burnt flavor anymore and I can taste the beans original flavor now.* takes only a few seconds to measure out the exact amount I need to grind per use so I'm not saving ground coffee to get stale.* takes minimal cleaning* parts appear solid and good qualityCons:* plastic container accumulates static. Not a big deal but a glass container might have been better* the timer doesn't really help much. A simple on/off switch would have been more useful.* the grinder doesn't sit flat but wobbles a bit. At first I thought it was missing a leg or a rubber pad, but after careful checking it doesn't appear anything is missing and that the design is just off. I'd expect a lot more for this price. I ended up putting several layers of black electrical tape under one of the feet to even it out. As shown in the picSo far I really like this coffee grinder I can make the grind any way I want it. Also this grinder doesn't static cling like other grinders. I've only had for a month so as far as to how long it last I dont know. I do have to say I don't wake the neighbors so it isn't as noisy as the last one I had, I gave that one away because it was so noisy.
