Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Capresso 580 14 oz. Disk Burr Grinder in Black with Coffee Grinder Cleaner
Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't understand why this grinder had gotten such bad reviews! I purchased this along with my Capresso 303.01 espresso machine. I love this brand, I think they make quality products!
The complaints on noise are ridiculous, it's a coffee grinder! They're all loud and noisy, this one is no exception, nor is it the loudest I've heard. The settings work great, the timer works great (though most of the time, I just set it on the longest time and manually turn it off when I see that I've got enough grinds). I can get everything from fine for espresso to course for my french press. I have no problems with the setting switch moving on me either.
Because this isn't a conical burr grinder, I do get instances where the beans aren't falling into the chute and the machine makes that empty noise, but it's nothing a quick tap on the side doesn't fix. One reviewer mentioned that they needed a lot of beans to weigh it enough for the beans to fall into the chute. I usually only grind enough for myself, and don't have a lot of problem with putting in just a few scoops at a time. Again, nothing a quick tap or two to the machine won't fix. I think this is also fairly common with a lot of grinders, not specific to this machine.
And the clogging. Perhaps having worked at several coffee shops prepped me for this - but I clean out the chute after every use or every other use. It's not a hassle to me, it takes just a minute to put it next to my sink, jiggle the brush around in there and tap it out over the sink. I do it when I'm waiting for my coffee to brew, and I've done this since I got the machine and have not had any issue with clogging.
For the price point, I think this is an excellent and good looking machine that I would recommend. If you truly wanted something that performed at a higher standard, then you need to be willing to invest more money.
