The Bottom Line:
Buy it.
I grind my coffee, both for breakfast and for a mid-day espresso break. I've been using a blade coffee grinder for a few years, finally got tired of the noise and the mess. So I started looking for a good quality burr grinder. Jura/Capresso 560 seems to be getting consistently good reviews, looked good in the picture and was priced within reason, so that's what I got.
So far I'm not disappointed at all. There's no more mess, coffee tastes better (espresso tastes much better!), beans are kept in the container built into the grinder. The grind quality seems to be very consistent, so is the quantity corresponding to timer settings.
The assembly is easy - took all of 15 seconds. The design seems solid - a classic Swiss engineering job. The controls are about perfect. You set the grind size by rotating the container that holds beans, set the timer to switch it on and that's it. It did take me a couple days to figure out the timer settings to make the right amount of coffee. Once you do that, you can rely on your timer setting to produce the same amount of ground coffee every time.
