Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 5 star grinder at a low price
I was skeptical at first from reading the reviews but I have to say this is the best grinder I have ever owned. I was intending on buying the more expensive model but as I was shopping I came across this model in the store and figured I would try it and if I wasn't happy it would be easier to return. I expected it to be very noisy as some have said when in fact it's very quiet. I have yet to experience clogs or a mess. After grinding it cleans up in seconds. As with any grinder cleaning should be done right after every use. It grinds as I select and no clumps or chunks as I have experienced with prior machines. I give this a 5 star in every way.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - really bad grinder
This is a badly designed machine. It clogs up and there is nothing more fun than spending 30 minutes first thing in the morning struggling to get it unclogged before I can make coffee. The design is such that I end up with coffee all over the place. The grind was uneven and bad. This machine finally stopped working at all, not that I really cared anymore at that point. I threw it away and got my old little grinder back out. Do not buy this - it is trash!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Shame on you Capresso
Dear fellow consumers, please don't be fooled. Conical burr grinders are high performing grinders for true coffee connoisseurs. A burr grinder that is not conical, technically a burr wheel grinder, is an overpriced fake that performs marginally and CLOGS every few grinds! My favorite part is the nice tan I get from the coffee dust from cleaning this thing with compressed air for 50 minutes!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Capresso Grinder
Had this Capresso Grinder for a few weeks; been using a blade grinder forever and decided to upgrade; very easy to use, just push a button and the coffee is perfectly ground; a little static, but nothing a little tapping won't take care of; will make coarse grounds for french press and fine for espresso; have used all settings and they all work as advertised; very happy with this product so far



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Shoot clogs way too easily
I purchased this grinder because it looked nice and fit with my decor. What I didn't anticipate was that the grinder would clog at the shoot where the coffee goes into the plastic grind container below. Now this really sucks because there is no real easy way to clean the shoot. I usually resort to using a thin butterknife for a little while then when I get the major jam out, I use my can of compressed air to blow out the remaining grinds. This really is dirty because when you do that, grinds blow all over the place. Also, what I hate is that when you take out the container cup, when the grinder is working, static electricity makes the grinds blow all over your counter. I end up banging the container on my counter a few time just to minimize, not eliminate, this situation.

I would never buy this or another product by this company.
