Capresso Infinity Conical Burr Grinder vs KitchenAid Pro Line Burr Grinder

a larger hopper so this holds 11 ounces of beans total 14 grind adjustments and a timer that can go up in adjustments of 5 seconds all the way up to 6...

There is a gap around the metal grinding head and the glass hopper that is large enough for full size beans to fall into. The only way to get them out is with tweezers or to remove the hopper and invert the entire machine to allow the beans to drop out. This really distracts from the overall impression of quality and not at all from what I have come to expect from Kitchen-Aide. I have e-mailed Kitchen-Aide and will follow up with their solution

Hey folks, it's Gail at Seattle Coffee gear and we are kind of just revisiting the Capresso Infinity Burr Grinder. I Just you know, we haven't done a ...

Having said that, if I knew this going in I STILL would have purchased it without hesitation. For the money I say this is an exceptional value, and let's face it value is king. Be certain you are looking at the "Pro Line" grinder as Kitchen Aid has a lower level one which I felt was inferior. Also, I was not able to find one in a brick & mortar store

You can only adjust by half steps, so 7.5 it was. Everything was peachy keen for a while, and then the grounds became too coarse, so I changed my setting to 8 which was about right but a little too fine. I found that over time, the settings change quite a bit, so you have to use 7

5 cups at the 6 oz. standard per day with occasional doubling up. I run a very fine grind by preference through an immersion dripper (currently using a Bonavita purchased here) and my roast taste runs from dark to "from the shriveled bowls of hell" also known as "smokey". I'm happenstance about my unit maintenance, I've probably taken it apart and cleaned it out an average of every 6 months or so

Was I ever wrong! The flavor of my cappuccinos and even the ocassional pot of drip-grind coffe I make is far superior than what I was getting before. I LOVE everything about this grinder. It is simple to use, runs quietly, grinds the beans very evenly, and there is little to no mess of coffee grounds flying around. When I am done grinding the amount I want I simply jiggle the machine a little so that any grounds drop down into the glass container before I remove it
