Capresso 560.01 Infinity Burr Coffee Grinder Review

This Capresso grinder is everything the reviews say and more

I am quite happy with my Capresso 560 cone burr coffee bean grinder. Five years ago I gave up on blade grinders, I used to use the Capresso 551 flat burr grinder. This grinder was an improvement over anything I had used before. However, after my 551 stopped working (most likely from overuse) I purchased the less expensive Melita burr grinder. It would not grind fine enough on the finest setting so I could not use it with my espresso machine.

I conducted an extensive search on the internet and in stores for a grinder that would grind well but not cost hundreds of dollars. In the end I ended up with three different choices; the Capresso 556 vertical flat burr grinder, the Capresso 560 and the Solis Maestro plus cone burr grinders. I ultimately chose this one because the Solis sells for about 2/3 more. Plus the 560 has a slower grinding speed as well as a history of high rated reviews from other happy customers.

You may wonder why I am so satisfied? This machine is absolutely everything the reviews say and more. The grind and coffee aroma combination is better than anything I have experienced. There is a distinctive and easily noticed difference with the strength and flavor of the brewed coffee. Currently it is primarily being used for espresso. There is also a tendency for the grinds to settle rather than swim around in the brewhead. Overall I recommend it and really couldn't be happier with it as it is one of the best grinders out there for the price.
