Great product and grind is more consistent then other grinders I tried. Happy with it so far.

This is my first coffee grinder so I have nothing to compare it to. So I expected there to be something I would have to learn.

It will take a little playing around with the dial to understand what the numbers equate to the type of grind you get. So keep a coffee that you like on hand that is already ground up so that you can compare the grinds from this grinder to that of what you're familiar with.

Set the hopper to a grind setting you feel matches a coffee you like. Dial to #2 let it grind (this is so you don't grind too much). It starts grinding as soon as you move the dial.

Compare the grinds to what you have on hand. Repeat that if necessary till you get close to what you want. Then brew a cup or 2 to see if you like it. If not, keep trying till you get it.

Once you get it dialed in, you'll be able to grind a consistent result all the time.

Just be sure to make note of the grind setting of the hopper. Because when you remove the hopper for cleaning, this will remove the setting. So take a quick pic of it with your phone or mark it on a sticky note and attach that somewhere visible (on the fridge maybe?)

All in all, so far it's a great grinder. I would think it's way more quiet than a blade grinder since the beans aren't flying about in a container being beaten by a blade. They're simply being pulverized by the conical burr grinder. Which works pretty fast. As far as what it compares to in terms of noise, it's more quiet than a nutribullet when blending a shake.

Cleaning it is beyond easy. And there is plenty of room to fit a brush, and maybe a rag of some sort to help with it. Other grinders in the same price range seemed like they would be very difficult to clean when compared to this one.

I highly recommend this if it's your first grinder.

Awesome product! Not noisy at all and grinds perfectly every time. So worth the money!

It is the second one like it i've owned. Enough said!

This is my second Capresso. The first one burned out after daily usage for 7 years, and gave superior service for all that time. Prices since then have gone up considerably, so initially, I recently purchased a similar but much lower price grinder. It lasted 3 1/2 months before malfunctioning. I did receive a refund from the company with no problems whatsoever but have elected to buy the CAPRESSO INFINITY because it's a proven product. The new one is so much quieter than older versions and grinds coffee perfectly. Knowing how good the CAPRESSOs were, I must have had a brain blooper when I switched to a lower priced grinder in the first place. It was a lesson learned again that there's no substitute for quality. I highly recommend the CAPRESSO INFINITY COFFEE GRINDER to you if you appreciate the kind of coffee that can make your day and a coffee grinder that's trouble free and works perfectly every time.
