Review: After intermittent research over the course of several years I decided to buy a Capresso 560 last year. All the reviews I had found for grinders under $250 were mixed, and I didn't want to pay that much. I had so much trouble finding a grinder I wanted ...

Pros: Even grind. Grinds espresso. Price!

Cons: Stopping it mid-cycle.

Pros: Easy to use and maintain. Produces quality grounds. Has adequate storage capacity.

Cons: Output hopper assumes a positive charge which causes a few grounds to cling to it.

Pros: Light, durable, and trouble free...

Cons: The plastic hopper has a tendency to vibrate out during the grind process..

Review: It works perfectly at sea level and at 8,000 feet... I've had it for 18 months and use it twice a day.. No ...

Pros: Very consistent particle sizes

Cons: Could be a little more stylish if that's important to you.

Cons: More expensive than many, but worth the money

Review: This grinder is simple to operate. The coffee grinder basket can hold several days worth of coffee if desired. It is also easy to measure the amount of coffee needed to make 1 pot, and put that in. The fine vs coarse setting can be adjusted in a ...
