Kitchen & Housewares Capresso 557.01 Burr Grinder, Black
- Decent Grinder For The PriceThis replaced a cheap Salton Brand burr grinder that we've used for years. I like the design and it's easy to use but it clogs up easily. The cleaning brush they give you is somewhat flimsy, and has a hard time loosening up the compacted grinds that clog up the discharge chute. I like how quickly it works, but I might look at another brand when this one wears out

- I wouldn't buy it if I were you.....I bought the capresso stainless steel burr grinder and have had nothing but trouble with it. Following the directions, the machine continually will just stop grinding every few days. It did this from day the 1st day we got it. We've followed all of the troubleshooting steps to no avail. Then, all of a sudden it will start to work, but again after a few days...same problem all over again. In addition, it is VERY messy. You need to use this little brush to clean out an area that you can't even see into, where ground coffee gets embedded in if you don't clean it every few grinds. It is DEFINITELY not a user-friendly machine. I'm really disappointed with this machine after reading these great reviews on Amazon. I can't imagine what coffee grinders these people used prior to getting this Capresso burr model if they think this machine is worthwhile. The Capresso customer service # is 1-800-767-3554. Hopefully they'll be able to help you if you buy this machine.

- Horrible, horrible, horribleI bought this grinder in October to replace a Delonghi Burr Grinder that I had lost in a breakup (for the record, I had used the Delonghi machine every week for over 2 years without a single problem). I loved my Delonghi grinder and would have bought another in an instant, but they had stopped producing them. I looked and looked to find something that could replace it and finally found the Capresso Burr Grinder. I used it about five times before it stopped working. What a piece of junk! Do NOT buy this machine. It is a waste of money. I, personally, will be resuming my search for a Delonghi grinder.

- It's OKProducts grinds well, especially on the finer grade. Is noisey, no problem. Is a chore to clean up.

- Mmmm Fresh Ground CoffeeI have never owned a coffee grinder before so when my son gave me an Amazon gift certificate last Christmas I decided to try one. After a bit of research I learned that a burr grinder is best so I just picked a mid-priced one a ordered it. I also got a French coffee press so now I am ready to make a great cup of coffee. I've only used my Capresso 557.01 Burr Grinder once so far as I am making myself use up all the ready-ground coffee I had on hand first. It seems to work fine.. keeping it clean will surely get easier as I get used to it.
