Capresso - Infinity Plus Conical Burr

cosigned, it's got a much more pleasant sound than other grinders. not quieter, necessarily, but more pleasant.

I have a Capresso Infinity Plus that I really like

Idk about other Capresso models but the Infinity has a slower gearbox which heats up the coffee less **and improves the sound signature significantly**

Been using this everyday for over two years now. Replaced the conical burrs recently and parts are easy to find. Highly recommend this grinder to anyone. I can get super fine and pull excellent, tasty shots. I can get great even grinds for pour over and French press. I mean it, this is a beast of a grinder! https://www.capresso.com/infinity-plus-conical-burr-grinder-black.html?srsltid=AfmBOopChAwwD57FUPFrKwBxNTfB2V3ze6Dl5P0dUPfcEgQGBgzHVFJ6nc8&gQT=1

Jesus!! You don’t need to spend that much. If you are asking, I would recommend the Capresso Infinity Plus. I use mine everyday, and been going strong for over three years now. Plus you can find replacement burr sets.

You are going to spend either 565 or 100? It seems like a very broad range. I owned a Capresso 99 dollar grinder (infinity??) for a few years. It was my first electric grinder, and before I went all in. Depending on where you are in your journey and how you approach hobbies, the 99 dollar one could be a fine place to start. If you love the hobby, you will end up buying something else. There is no buy once, cry once in the consumer space. Even nice shit doesn’t last.

Yeah I have had one for several years that was already secondhand and it’s been great. I always recommend getting kitchen gadgets secondhand. Can usually get them for quite cheap. I got my Moccamaster for $75. The grinder was maybe $40.

I used the capresso infinity as my first burr grinder and it’s ok, but I think you’d want to upgrade again sooner than you’d wish. If I had to do it over again I would rather have gotten a $100 hand grinder that I would’ve probably kept all these years instead of the capresso that I quickly wanted to upgrade from.

Capresso conical burr has been good to me. Have had it for several years.

I personally really like my Capresso Infinity that I've used for years. I'll probably get downvoted but you can also find threads where people prefer it over the Baratza. Personally have never felt the need to spend on a better grinder. I make French Press, pour over and cold brew - never a problem extracting good tasting coffee.

I've had good results with my capresso infinity, a burr grinder in the ~$100 range. Bought it used for even less, was sold as not working but it was just clogged with coffee dust.

I had the infinity for many years and have since gifted it. Still going, 15 years later. I'm a hand grinder, but would recommend it. I might also see if you could get a new or refurbed baratza encore for around the same price. I'd probably go that route between the two, if the price was close.

I was given a Capresso Infinity grinder and love it! It’s not one I see mentioned often, but I really can’t fault it for drip coffee.

For $150 budget it's gonna be the Baratza Encore. Capresso Infinity is darn good for the money too. It's what I used before uograding to the Ode 2.

I’ve been using a Capresso conical burr grinder for about 20y now (first one lasted about 12y - replaced it about 8y ago now) .. they’re cheap and effective - nothing fancy. Does well over 100g of coffee (4oz) per shot if you want. Cheap and effective, but a bit of a pain to clean .. always found it a tad noisy and never liked the timer knob (it runs slow and the numbers never made sense to me - I think it’s supposed to be “cups”) .. but it’s good for coarse grinds if you’re doing French press or medium to dark pour overs. Never used it much for fine grinds but will do Turkish level fine. Just recently I upgraded my workflow to an Ode2 and a nice scale which is fun to use and evolve into (used to just eyeball everything) .. auto shutoff is nice and the ability to swap out the flat burrs seems like a nice future option .. will see how this fares over time. I’m really enjoying fine tuning the overall setup and playing with extraction techniques to start dialing in the beans better.

Capresso burr grinder for the best buy, baratza encore for best overall. Picked up my capresso for around 80 or 90.
