I learned something... (Reply to this comment)
by cheflady
I bought this grinder for one of my sisters for a birthday present. She wanted a coffee pot/grinder combo, but I wasn't going to spend that much money for a combo unit on her. She is very pleased with this grinder. I also had to replace my coffee pot/grinder combo a month or so ago, and bought a coffee pot without a grinder and bought this little unit at the same time. I love it!
I had no idea what what a 'burr' grinder was until reading some reviews. I, too, am no coffee expert, but I do like my coffee freshly ground. I have found that picking the right 'roast' coffee bean plays just as much of an important rule in the taste of coffee, as anything else. That's why I love grinders. I get to pick out my beans :-)
Thanks again. Nice Review.

Interesting noise suppression technique...a coat over grinder. I would agree that's probably not the best solution for air flow and cooling, but hmmmm might it be worth the risk to smell like that all day? A pleasant thought. (Note: I AM a bit of a coffee fanatic!)

Joe, remember - the motor on the grinder needs air in order to cool properly! It's get hot in a hurry if it doesn't have access to open air. :(

Great review! (Reply to this comment)

Echoes many of the sentiments in my review of the same product.
I did notice the smell for the first time the other day - more of a "new electronics" kinda smell. I attributed it to the fact that I threw my coat over it to muffle the noise while I was at work :)

Another excellent review! (Reply to this comment)

This was also a very good review (I just read the coffee press review).
I am thrilled with my Capresso grinder. The only thing is cleaning it because the grounds act like they are charged with static (maybe they are after the grinding), but it makes a mess when cleaning...and I thoroughly clean after each grinding.
By the way, your comment: my wife strictly forbids coffee counter-culture paraphernalia to be visible on any exposed surfaces. Well, My wife is exactly the same except it applies to almost all appliances!

Thank you very much for the comment. I'll have to try rocking the machine when I'm low on beans.

Heat is a no-no! (Reply to this comment)
by tennis_player
Do what you can to avoid any build up of heat from any source on fresh coffee beans. The whole idea of a burr grinder is that instead of blade whirling at high speed to "cut" the beans, a burr grinder subjects the beans to a crushing process and the coffee passes through a very narrow gap (that's how the ground texture is regulated - vary the gap) just once and exits into the finished hopper.
A blade grinder builds up friction, therefore, the grinds get hot. The heat changes the flavor of the oil in the coffee. This heat builds higher when doing a finee grind.
This machine, like most similar units, is a simple gravity feed. You can get them to fall through the small feed slots when doing a small batch by rocking the whole unit to help the beans find the slots.
Good review and it is clear that you enjoy good coffee.
