Sixteen different settings--four each in the four categories of extra fine, fine, regular, and coarse--let you adjust the grind to the specific blend of coffee and method of brewing. The finest setting is ideal for preparing Turkish coffee, which is a rare feature to find in a grinder. A built-in timer sets the grind for anywhere between 5 and 60 seconds so you can walk away without having to constantly press a button to continue the grinding process. The Infinity has an advanced conical burr design made of steel that is usually only found on commercial grinders. This burr design slows down the gears and reduces the amount of friction and heat to preserve coffee's flavor and aroma. The coffee container holds up to 4 ounces of grounds and remains sealed during grinding. For safety, the bean container also needs to be locked into place for the Infinity to operate. For easy cleaning, the bean container and upper burr lift off so you can clean the grinding chamber with the included brush and wipe down the heavy-duty zinc die-cast housing. The 100-watt burr grinder measures 7-2/3 by 5-2/5 by 10-4/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Review: The Capresso 565.05 Infinity Conical Burr Grinder- Stainless Steel Model - I recently purchased the Capresso 565.05 Infinity Conical Burr Grinder, the stainless steel/zinc model. My overall impression is that this grinder is a compact, well-designed, well-made machine and is everything and more than what I expected, after reading the product's many desertcart reviews. This burr grinder replaces my old Krups disc grinder (still running after nearly 20 years) and an 11 year old small Cuisinart blade grinder. This Capresso Infinity is my first burr grinder and it definitely surpasses both of my previous grinders, regarding the quality and variations of grinds and its ease of use. I grind only roasted coffee beans (mostly medium roast) in my grinder and I use a Zojirushi Zutto 5-Cup Drip coffeemaker to prepare my coffee. So far, this machine has performed flawlessly and has not shown any defects or any of the problems that others have posted about, regarding this product's performance for them. Here's a concise list of pros and specific comments for the Capresso Infinity 565.05 Conical Burr Grinder: PROS: 1. Grind Settings- 16 grind settings (4 different grinds with 4 specific setting marks for each type of grind) are quite sufficient for grinding beans for a drip coffeemaker or most other types of coffeemakers. I grind my medium roast beans using the grind setting at Medium/Regular grind (the farthest mark to the right of the four distinct settings for the Medium grind), and I set the timer setting to (4) to grind at Regular and to prepare 4 or 5 cups of coffee. 2, No static or messy grounds- the plastic ground bean container does NOT cause "static cling" of the ground coffee beans and I have nothing to clean up, on my counter, when I remove and empty the ground coffee container. I believe that I experience no "static problem" since my machine is made of the stainless steel/zinc housing and interior parts. 3. No movement of the grinder when it's on and grinding- There is no movement or problem of the machine "moving around from vibrations" while it's grinding, since the metal housing and parts give it sufficient weight to "stay put" on the counter. I have placed the grinder on a tray (the Handy Caddy) that glides on tiny wheels on two interlocking trays. With the gliding trays, I simply pull the tray with the stationary Capresso machine forward and toward me, from the back of the counter and forward to the counter's edge, so it's easier to use and I don't have to lift the weight of the metal grinder machine to bring it closer to me. 4. Noise level- The Capresso Infinity Burr Grinder is not loud at all and is actually one of the quietest of all the burr grinders I researched and watched being used on video demonstrations. 5. Quality of the prepared coffee- Yes, the reviews and claims, that burr grinders add a deeper and more flavorful result to prepared coffee, I have found to be true. Paying more to buy specialty gourmet coffee beans, such as Hawaiian Kona and Jamaica Blue Mountain beans, deserves a good grinder to properly grind the beans. The burr grinder certainly meets that challenge. CONS: None to date. Before purchasing the Capresso Infinity Burr Grinder, I researched all of the current top brands of burr grinders. My final decision to buy the Capresso Infinity Conical Burr Grinder was based on my research and high ratings of this grinder. The conical burr grinders I feel are better performers and are definitely easier to clean and to operate than blade or disc grinders. The Capresso's stainless steel housing and steel conical burrs/parts are superior in manufacturing and performance, when compared to those burr grinders that are made of plastic housings and interior parts. I'm very glad I bought this grinder and I look forward to many cups of delicious coffee and years of service.
Review: Near-ideal coffee mill for home use - My thanks to other reviewers -- whose comments regarding the wide selection of coffee mills enabled me to make the fortunate selection of the Capresso 560 Infinity Conical Burr Grinder, Brushed Silver, 8.5-Ounce . Having used it almost every day for several weeks, I find hardly anything negative to say about this unit (but see below), but the scope of this review does not extend to making espresso or other brews requiring special types of beans or especially fine grounds. Other reviewers have noted the major positives of theCapresso 560. For example, the motor speed is geared-down, thus slowing the speed of the rotating (lower) burr, which in turn reduces noise, reduces heating of the beans during milling, and reduces shattering of the beans and thereby gives more uniformity of the size of the grounds. As others have noted, the coarseness/fineness of the grind is easily adjusted over a very wide range, with a very high degree of control. This mill is obviously well built. It will not be the cause if you don't get an unbeatable cup of coffee. If, as formerly I did, you use one of the blade-type coffee grinders, you may have noticed that it results in a grind with a lot of very fine particles due to bean shattering by the violent impact of the blades, and as a consequence you may have experienced, as I did, a tendency of the brewing filter on your coffee maker to become unduly clogged and even to overflow for that reason. With the Capresso burr grinder, this problem is much reduced if not eliminated (although I have yet to use the mill's finest settings for the grind). Now some further points. Though some of what follows might be interpreted as negative, such an interpretation really would be unjustified, since, as I try to indicate, all of the issues raised are easily nullified. First, a basic point is just this: a little time spent in gaining familiarity with the unit's construction and operational behavior pays off (there IS a learning curve with this unit). Just bite the bullet and spend the time required to understand the user instructions. Second, a potential problem arises with this unit if you put the upper burr into place upside down (proper cleaning of the mill requires removal of the upper burr). Through inattention I somehow made this mistake (once) and had to resort to Capresso customer service (which had the answer with no hesitation, suggesting that it may be a more common mistake than one might have thought) to find out how to get it back out (tip: looking down on the top of the mill, notice the large, black outer ring that surrounds the burrs and use a butter knife in the obvious slot to turn the ring in a counter-clockwise direction to release the upside-down upper burr). Perhaps most people would never fall into this avoidable trap, but I mention it just in case it saved anybody from having this happen. As to cleaning the unit after milling, I have found this to be straightforward and reasonably easy. Third, this unit has a problem with static electricity. But this is evidently the case with just about all noncommercial coffee mills -- as one discovers in reading the reviews of a number of the grinders/mills offered on the desertcart site. In the case of the Capresso 560.04, and probably in the case of most any other mill, there are easy solutions to this problem, and I will now describe mine at some length. The behavior of static electricity, even for those of us with a background in physics, can seem quite bizarre. For one thing, as one learns in studying the laws and principles of electricity in science classes, static electric charges generated internally necessarily appear instantly (and I mean VERY quickly) on the "outside" surface of an object whenever the object is completely surrounded by a nonconducting medium (note the key word "surface") -- and an equal and opposite charge will be simultaneously created on the facing surface of the external objects in the vicinity. But the outside surface of the coffee mill is altered and becomes rather complex when you move the grounds receptacle (hereafter "the cup") from its position on the "inside" of the mill body to the "outside" or even partially to the "outside". Moreover, when you touch the mill, you and the mill together become, as far as the static electricity is concerned, one continuous object with the total charge (which is completely harmless) distributed over your body and the mill together -- excluding only the place(s) of contact between the two. Note: this short, perhaps overly simplified explanation of static electricity in the context of the mill is not intended to be beyond the possibility of any critique or amplification by professional physicists, but should suffice for the purpose at hand. The problem of the static charge on the mill can be solved by waiting long enough for the charge to dissipate into the environment, but this can take an inconveniently long time, especially in dry air. A better solution to the problem is to carry the charge away to the general environment or directly to an earth ground via a conductor. I implemented the latter remedy, and it works very well. One version of this remedy, easily implemented, is to use a length of wire (insulated or not) to conduct the charge to ground: with my fingers, I just hold one bare end of the grounded wire against the outside of the unit and, as I pull the cup out, I continue holding the end of the wire and bring it into contact with the "inside" surface of the cup AND the "inside" surface of the opening in the mill body itself (i.e., the opening, or docking port, where the cup fits). This discharges the whole unit (including my body), so that now the coffee grounds (i.e., those on the surface layer in the cup), which also would have become charged, are not forced (by the mutual repulsion of the charges they would have accumulated) to fly to, and distribute themselves annoyingly over, nearby surfaces. It's best not to get hung up on what is "inside" and what is "outside", because the charges just follow the laws of electricity and move around extremely rapidly due to mutual repulsion/attraction to wherever these laws dictate: the instantaneous distribution and the complex movement of the charges is way beyond direct detection by human senses -- although the hair on your arm may produce a sensation due to the forces arising from the attraction between the static charges on the hair and the opposite charges on external surfaces nearby. (Note that the static charge that will build up on the mill during grinding is completely harmless to a human, if it is noticeable at all.) Still another version of the remedy, which will be described next, offers more operational convenience but involves applying some aluminum duct-sealing tape to a few places in/on the unit. The aluminum tape I refer to is adhesive-backed and is available at heating/plumbing supply stores, or at other stores like Home Depot, Lowe's, or Ace Hardware. Just be sure you get the type of tape whose metal surface is bare and not coated with a nonconducting film. You can verify that the surface is bare metal by using a cheap ohmmeter or continuity tester. This alternative remedy is simple and easy to implement, is very effective, does not much affect the appearance of the unit, and, as I see it, presents no undesirable results of any kind. To implement this remedy, I applied three narrow strips of the conducting tape (a quarter inch wide, say; width is not important, except for ease of handling) as shown in the two photos that I uploaded to the product page. [For completeness, or to supplement the photos, the present paragraph describes how to apply the strips of conducting tape. Skip this paragraph if the photos are adequately informative. In what follows I will be referring to (a) the walls of the cup and (b) the walls of the docking port (i.e., the chamber in the mill body where the cup fits). First I describe the two strips of tape to be applied to the cup. One of the two strips of tape is affixed, by its own adhesive backing, to the cup so as to make a conducting path from a point at the top left of the inside of its back wall (call this point A) up and over the lip of the cup straight down to a point B at the bottom left part of its outside rear wall. The second strip starts at point B (make sure it overlaps the first strip) and runs horizontally from there along the outside wall of the cup to a point C at the bottom front corner of the left side of the cup. So much for the cup. Now I describe the third strip of tape, which will be applied to the inside of the docking port. This third strip is applied for a half inch or so along the bottom left rear wall of the docking port, and runs horizontally from there towards the front of the mill body, and finally wraps around the front corner to the outside of the mill body, leaving about a half inch of the tape exposed on the outside of the mill body. This strip is positioned in such a way that it makes contact with the other strip (the second strip as described above) -- which was applied along the bottom outside of the left wall of the cup. Make sure all three strips are completely affixed with their adhesive backing along their entire length. This completes the written description of the conducting tape application, but it's easier to understand all this by simply looking at the photos. Please note that there is a reason why I specified that the second and third strips of tape should run along the bottom of the cup and the docking port, respectively, in such a way that they can be in contact with each other continually as the cup is being pulled out of the docking port: this configuration allows no static charges to build up or persist anywhere in/on the unit while the cup is being removed.] Having described how to apply the strips of conducting tape, I now describe how they work. I still have a grounded wire that I can momentarily touch to the small segment of tape that I left exposed on the front bottom left side of the mill's body, as described above. This exposed segment is barely visible in one of the photos. The momentary, simultaneous contact between your fingers and the tape and the grounded wire instantly carries away all of the static charge in/on the unit, and completely eliminates the static electricity problem. But note that any subsequent rubbing of the mill's body or the cup can build up another charge, just as rubbing a cat with a silk cloth will build up a charge. In that event, just touch the ground wire to the exposed segment of tape and your fingers simultaneously while the cup is in place in the mill body. But wait: with the strips of conducting tape in place as described, the grounded wire may not even be necessary! Apparently, the above-described conducting path alone is sufficient to eliminate the problem of static charging of the whole device (or at least the unbalanced charge between you and the mill), although local conditions may bear on this conclusion (for example, whenever the air is very dry and the user is wearing insulated shoes and the counter/table top is highly nonconducting; under these conditions the grounded wire probably would need to be used, with the user merely needing to touch the mill and the wire simultaneously). Your own experience will lead you to your own conclusion as to whether/when you need to use the grounded wire. My experience is that merely touching the exposed segment of tape on the body of the mill (assuming all strips of tape are affixed as described above) while removing the cup completely eliminates the static charge mismatch, and thus completely solves this unit's problem with static electricity. Other folks may well come up with other ways (and there are many equivalent variants) to handle the static charges. Finally, to recap, this coffee mill is terrific. I liked it so much I bought another one as a gift for my son. The only definite suggestion I could offer to Capresso to make this product all but perfect would be to design it somehow to eliminate the (unbalanced) buildup of static electricity in the first place. For the record, I have no conflict of interest in contributing this review. I hope readers find it worthwhile, and comments would be welcome. [Note (13 February 2013): thanks to a reader who kindly provided me a tip on uploading the two photos I mentioned in the review. These photos can be accessed from the product page.]

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Should I buy the lighter weight black model or the heavier stainless steel model?**
A: The "stainless steel" I just bought is painted plastic, which was a little disappointing to me since the stainless steel model I bought in 2015/2016 was real metal. Personally, I think the metal looks nicer, but it is heavier. My guess is that you have to get a more expensive version now to get an actual metal finish.

**Q: Our Capresso Infinity Conical Burr Grinder is jammed.  The top burr grinder (the circular piece, with three "spokes" on the outside, that drops into the main body) won't come out and the top coffee holder won't twist into the unit.  We have tried to jimmy out the top grinder with a table knife, but to no avail.  Any id…**
A: what happened here is that most likely it was put in upside down.  Yes, it fits both ways.  My wife did the same thing and you will not be able to jimmy it loose while this unit is assembled.  You will need to take the outer casing off.  First remove the ground coffee container, then turn the unit upside down.  No screws here, just look for the five notches between the main unit and the casing.  Next, take a small flat head screwdriver and gently wedge between casing and main body and try to casing casing a little at a time and then move to the next notch.  this can be a bit tricky as I used several screwdrivers wedged in at the same time to accomplish this.  The casing just sort of snaps into place and these notches are what holds it together.  Once the casing is off I found it easier to work the timer detached from the casing.  This is not required but is just easier to see what you have to work with, to remover the time just unscrew the two screws holding it to the casing with a #10 star screwdriver.  From this point it is possible to get grinder loose, however you may need some further dis assemble the grinder.  I actually had to loosen the entire burr grind assembly to loosen it up enough to free the top portion.  To do this take a #20 star screwdriver to the dead center screw holding in the lower burr grinder (LBG) and unscrew it.  You should be able too get the TBG loose at this time although with a little effort.  Warning, there are ten pieces under that LBG (3 springs, 3 brass pieces, 3 ball barrings, and a circular plastic piece).  The brass pieces go into the holes in the circular plastic and will fit snugly, the plastic piece obviously will go onto the spindle, the springs go inside the brass pieces, and the ball bearings on top of the springs.  Gently align the indentations on the bottom of the LBG with the ball bearings.  Now screw in your #20 star screw into the LBG, the try twisting the LBG by hand.  It should only turn as a motorized unit, that is you will hear the motor turning with it.  If it turns freely with no resistance go back and try again.

**Q: Does this grind fine enough for a Rancilio Silvia espresso machine? I had a $300 grinder that didn't.**
A: I've never tried it for espresso, we use it strictly for Arabic(Turkish) coffee of which it grinds a beautifully consistent talcum powder consistency. Arabic (Turkish) coffee is the finest grind of coffee you can get, 100 microns or smaller, compared to normal espresso which is about 300 microns, so I believe this machine can easily grind a very good espresso as it is able to go 3 times finer if need be.We also thought we were going to have spend hundreds of dollars to get a fine enough grind for Arabic coffee and even then some of the $300 - $400 ones had complaints about not being small or consistent enough, but we are very happy with the fineness and consistency of this one. I hope this helps you decide.

**Q: I want to grind for a french press:  coarse grind....for 3 cups of coffee @ 10 oz  for each cup...what do I set the timer for??  Please help!!**
A: Unless you're making fairly weak coffee, three 10oz cups will use about half a hopper's worth of beans.  I use 50g of beans in a full 32oz press, and that's roughly 10 tbsp of beans or nearly half a hopper.  In that respect, it's really not worth your while to fill the hopper to full on every second brew and rely on the timer for inconsistent results.  It's better to do the initial work of finding a ratio of beans to water you like and then measuring out your beans each time.  It takes only a few seconds and you get much better results.

But this is evidently the case with just about all noncommercial coffee mills -- as one discovers in reading the reviews of a number of the grinders/mills offered on the Amazon site. In the case of the Capresso 560.04, and probably in the case of most any other mill, there are easy solutions to this problem, and I will now describe mine at some length. The behavior of static electricity, even for those of us with a background in physics, can seem quite bizarre. For one thing, as one learns in studying the laws and principles of electricity in science classes, static electric charges generated internally necessarily appear instantly (and I mean VERY quickly) on the "outside" surface of an object whenever the object is completely surrounded by a nonconducting medium (note the key word "surface") -- and an equal and opposite charge will be simultaneously created on the facing surface of the external objects in the vicinity. But the outside surface of the coffee mill is altered and becomes rather complex when you move the grounds receptacle (hereafter "the cup") from its position on the "inside" of the mill body to the "outside" or even partially to the "outside". Moreover, when you touch the mill, you and the mill together become, as far as the static electricity is concerned, one continuous object with the total charge (which is completely harmless) distributed over your body and the mill together -- excluding only the place(s) of contact between the two. Note: this short, perhaps overly simplified explanation of static electricity in the context of the mill is not intended to be beyond the possibility of any critique or amplification by professional physicists, but should suffice for the purpose at hand. The problem of the static charge on the mill can be solved by waiting long enough for the charge to dissipate into the environment, but this can take an inconveniently long time, especially in dry air. A better solution to the problem is to carry the charge away to the general environment or directly to an earth ground via a conductor. I implemented the latter remedy, and it works very well. One version of this remedy, easily implemented, is to use a length of wire (insulated or not) to conduct the charge to ground: with my fingers, I just hold one bare end of the grounded wire against the outside of the unit and, as I pull the cup out, I continue holding the end of the wire and bring it into contact with the "inside" surface of the cup AND the "inside" surface of the opening in the mill body itself (i.e., the opening, or docking port, where the cup fits). This discharges the whole unit (including my body), so that now the coffee grounds (i.e., those on the surface layer in the cup), which also would have become charged, are not forced (by the mutual repulsion of the charges they would have accumulated) to fly to, and distribute themselves annoyingly over, nearby surfaces. It's best not to get hung up on what is "inside" and what is "outside", because the charges just follow the laws of electricity and move around extremely rapidly due to mutual repulsion/attraction to wherever these laws dictate: the instantaneous distribution and the complex movement of the charges is way beyond direct detection by human senses -- although the hair on your arm may produce a sensation due to the forces arising from the attraction between the static charges on the hair and the opposite charges on external surfaces nearby. (Note that the static charge that will build up on the mill during grinding is completely harmless to a human, if it is noticeable at all.) Still another version of the remedy, which will be described next, offers more operational convenience but involves applying some aluminum duct-sealing tape to a few places in/on the unit. The aluminum tape I refer to is adhesive-backed and is available at heating/plumbing supply stores, or at other stores like Home Depot, Lowe's, or Ace Hardware. Just be sure you get the type of tape whose metal surface is bare and not coated with a nonconducting film. You can verify that the surface is bare metal by using a cheap ohmmeter or continuity tester. This alternative remedy is simple and easy to implement, is very effective, does not much affect the appearance of the unit, and, as I see it, presents no undesirable results of any kind. To implement this remedy, I applied three narrow strips of the conducting tape (a quarter inch wide, say; width is not important, except for ease of handling) as shown in the two photos that I uploaded to the product page. [For completeness, or to supplement the photos, the present paragraph describes how to apply the strips of conducting tape. Skip this paragraph if the photos are adequately informative. In what follows I will be referring to (a) the walls of the cup and (b) the walls of the docking port (i.e., the chamber in the mill body where the cup fits). First I describe the two strips of tape to be applied to the cup. One of the two strips of tape is affixed, by its own adhesive backing, to the cup so as to make a conducting path from a point at the top left of the inside of its back wall (call this point A) up and over the lip of the cup straight down to a point B at the bottom left part of its outside rear wall. The second strip starts at point B (make sure it overlaps the first strip) and runs horizontally from there along the outside wall of the cup to a point C at the bottom front corner of the left side of the cup. So much for the cup. Now I describe the third strip of tape, which will be applied to the inside of the docking port. This third strip is applied for a half inch or so along the bottom left rear wall of the docking port, and runs horizontally from there towards the front of the mill body, and finally wraps around the front corner to the outside of the mill body, leaving about a half inch of the tape exposed on the outside of the mill body. This strip is positioned in such a way that it makes contact with the other strip (the second strip as described above) -- which was applied along the bottom outside of the left wall of the cup. Make sure all three strips are completely affixed with their adhesive backing along their entire length. This completes the written description of the conducting tape application, but it's easier to understand all this by simply looking at the photos. Please note that there is a reason why I specified that the second and third strips of tape should run along the bottom of the cup and the docking port, respectively, in such a way that they can be in contact with each other continually as the cup is being pulled out of the docking port: this configuration allows no static charges to build up or persist anywhere in/on the unit while the cup is being removed.] Having described how to apply the strips of conducting tape, I now describe how they work. I still have a grounded wire that I can momentarily touch to the small segment of tape that I left exposed on the front bottom left side of the mill's body, as described above. This exposed segment is barely visible in one of the photos. The momentary, simultaneous contact between your fingers and the tape and the grounded wire instantly carries away all of the static charge in/on the unit, and completely eliminates the static electricity problem. But note that any subsequent rubbing of the mill's body or the cup can build up another charge, just as rubbing a cat with a silk cloth will build up a charge. In that event, just touch the ground wire to the exposed segment of tape and your fingers simultaneously while the cup is in place in the mill body. But wait: with the strips of conducting tape in place as described, the grounded wire may not even be necessary! Apparently, the above-described conducting path alone is sufficient to eliminate the problem of static charging of the whole device (or at least the unbalanced charge between you and the mill), although local conditions may bear on this conclusion (for example, whenever the air is very dry and the user is wearing insulated shoes and the counter/table top is highly nonconducting; under these conditions the grounded wire probably would need to be used, with the user merely needing to touch the mill and the wire simultaneously). Your own experience will lead you to your own conclusion as to whether/when you need to use the grounded wire. My experience is that merely touching the exposed segment of tape on the body of the mill (assuming all strips of tape are affixed as described above) while removing the cup completely eliminates the static charge mismatch, and thus completely solves this unit's problem with static electricity. Other folks may well come up with other ways (and there are many equivalent variants) to handle the static charges. Finally, to recap, this coffee mill is terrific. I liked it so much I bought another one as a gift for my son. The only definite suggestion I could offer to Capresso to make this product all but perfect would be to design it somehow to eliminate the (unbalanced) buildup of static electricity in the first place. For the record, I have no conflict of interest in contributing this review. I hope readers find it worthwhile, and comments would be welcome. [Note (13 February 2013): thanks to a reader who kindly provided me a tip on uploading the two photos I mentioned in the review. These photos can be accessed from the product page.]
