Overall you will not be disappointed with this. If you’re on the fence, just get it. Grind consistency is much better than other models I’ve seen at this price point. Cannot vouch for espresso but the largest grind on extra fine is perfect for my pour over timing. Only complaint is if you weigh your beans there is some retention, especially when it’s first used. This then causes cleaning to be a little troublesome and beans to wasted if you overcompensate for retention. But at least it comes with a brush! I must say this is very typical for all machines of this design so don’t knock it too much for retention/cleaning. The grind is GREAT.

Fantastic grinder! We decided on this one based on a Americans Test Kitchen recommendation and as usual they were right. Solid construction and looks good as well.

The Capresso Infinity Plus does a really good job grinding coffee. The settings for coarse and fine are accurate, and I like that you can pour beans into the top, choose how many cups you want, and let it measure things out for you. It’s pretty consistent, and I usually just bump it up a bit because I like my coffee stronger. For the actual grinding part, it does exactly what it should. The downside is the maintenance. Cleaning this thing is way more annoying than I expected. If there are any beans left in the top when you take the lid off, they fall all over the counter. The grounds also cling to the plastic container from static, so they don’t all pour out cleanly. I’ve tried a bunch of different beans and it happens with all of them, so I’m pretty sure it’s just how the container is made. It can also get gummed up if there’s any moisture at all, and cleaning the inside takes some patience. There are a lot of little crevices, so it’s not easy to hand dry. You really need to let it air dry completely before putting it back together. Functionally, it’s solid. It grinds well and the settings are accurate. But the cleaning is enough of a hassle that I’m giving it three stars. I wanted a burr grinder, and this one does the job, but the maintenance side of it feels like more work than it should be.

This little machine does a wonderful job of grinding my espresso beans to the best level! It is relatively quiet, very quick, and designed to make it easy to measure out the perfect amount of espresso for a perfect cup of Americano!

We wore out our first grinder, an earlier version of this one. This new model is sturdier, seems more powerful and is easier to clean. It’s also a bit quieter. Not cheap, but great for the constant coffee drinker.
