Capresso 560.01 Infinity

Affordable burr coffee grinder

Pros
  • Produces a consistent grind
  • Quiet
  • Easy to clean
  • Low price
Cons
  • Produces static
  • No on/off switch

Owners and professional testers agree that the Capresso Infinity 560.01 Infinity is the best budget burr grinder. Reviews say that the Capresso Infinity 560.01, with its 16 settings, commercial-grade steel burrs and sleek black plastic housing, can serve as a crossover grinder for automatic drip machines as well as espresso (providing you're not too picky about consistency and fineness of grind). Owners also agree that it offers relatively quiet operation and a fairly consistent grind. There are a few complaints about static. Experts say that if you're using a high-end espresso machine, you should use an equally high-end coffee grinder, such as the Rancilio Rocky Doserless (*Est. $375) burr grinder. For occasional espresso drinkers, however, the budget-priced Capresso Infinity is practical.
