Capresso - Infinity Conical Burr Series

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.

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

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

Capresso Infinity?

I went from Capresso Infinity to Timemore C3 Pro & haven’t looked back. No fines produced with the hand grinder.

I had one when I was getting into coffee, that thing is shite lol

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 is the one you want. Static can be annoying and you have to take it apart & brush it out, but it's not a horrible starting point.

to be clear, everything you get at that price point will be pretty low grade, but it performs way better than the ghost burr alternatives and blade grinders at that price point. I also know people who use one daily and have had it for over 2 decades

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
