What customers say about "Key Specs"

Capresso 560.01 Infinity Burr Grinder

Great machine that grinds coffee consistently and easy to care for.
I grind my coffee for a French press, but the Capresso can be set for any type of grind you'd like.
Lots of grind settings to find the one that works best for your equipment
So this little grinder is exactly what I wanted. It's compact, has a nice capacity hopper, and can do espresso grinds.
I tried grinding at various grind settings and there wasn't really much, if any, variation in the size of the grind.
Disappointed. Settings for coarse grind are too fine for my liking. Takes quite awhile (compared to my old grinder) to grind a pots worth of beans.
Even on the coarsest setting the coffee grinds pretty darn fine.

Baratza Encore Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

Well built. Grinds well. Not terribly loud.
Grinds beans pretty fast. Coffee has been tasting fantastic since buying this.
It is reasonably quiet, produces a uniform grind, and the ground coffee empties easily out of the container.
Good grinder in general. A bit messy, but works reliably.
The negatives of the Encore are how messy it is and the noise level. This thing loves to spit out fragments of beans after every grind.

What customers say about "Features"

Capresso 560.01 Infinity Burr Grinder

As per the manufacturer, there are no parts made of critical plastics in contact with food
The grinding timer and adjustable texture allows a precise control over quantity and fineness, reducing waste and easily accommodating brewing methods from espresso-fine to coarse french press.
So convenient, grinds very fine, love the timer so you can simply twist and let it grind while do get your coffee set up ready.
One good thing I learned can be done is that the basket and the bean hopper can both be put in the top rack of the dishwasher
Love the grind, dislike the timer.
The only thing I might wish for is better storage for excess power cord.

Baratza Encore Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

Good entry level grinder with relatively few fines.
Easy to use and dial in, nice big rotating on/off switch on the side.
Very quick motor can take down 40g of coffee in less than 20 seconds.
Cleaning it is a nightmare especially if it clogs part way through the grind.
The problem was the machine stopped grinding after about a month because the discharge chute was jammed.
