Jura-Capresso Infinity SS Burr Grinder from Whole Latte Love

Features

The Jura-Capresso Infinity is a burr grinder with an elegant, timeless design. It comes in your choice of a stainless steel finish for a durable, professional look and feel, or in an economical black or Stainless Steel ABS plastic finish. Under the sleek lines you will find commercial-grade solid steel conical burrs. The Infinity is capable of 16 grind settings allowing for grind range for an Espresso to a nice coarse grind for a French Press. It is also equipped with a 5 to 60 second auto-stop timer mounted on the center face of the machine. To top it off, the top burr is removable for easy cleaning. Please note that most grinders are tested at the manufacturer and coffee grounds may be found in the grinder as a result. All machines sold are new unless otherwise clearly stated.

Construction

The polished and brushed chrome models are made of a heavy-duty zinc die-cast housing. The black model is a sturdy ABS plastic that will hold up for years and the stainless steel model is designed for even better durability and a professional look.

Multiple Grind Settings

The Infinity Burr Grinder has 16 grind settings and will grind from fine for espresso machines to coarse enough for french press. The grind adjustments can be made by turning the bean hopper.

Motor With Gear Reduction System

The 100 watt motor is a gear reduction system. This is important because the slower grinding means less heat buildup which in-turn means less coffee flavor lost. The grinder motor produces far more torque (power) which means less strain on the motor and associated mechanisms and longer life. The grinding burrs incur less wear.

Conical Burr Grinding System

The Infinity's conical burrs rotate at 420rpm. This slow-speed grinder will produce a consistent grind while emitting almost no static charge and imparts little heat into the ground coffee.

Easy To Use Controls

The Infinity is equipped with a timer on the face of the machine. This easy to use dial can be set to grind from any where between five to 60 seconds. After the set time frame has elapsed the grinder will automatically stop.

Bean Hopper

The bean hopper is made of clear plastic and can hold up to 8.8 ounces of beans.

Ground Coffee Container

The ground coffee container will hold up to 4 ounces of ground coffee. It is made of clear plastic and is removable for access.

This product replaced a star$ barrista burr grinder that died after the plastic broke where the motor was mounted to the base. I followed the advice of one reviewer and bought the more expensive metal housed unit. It is solidly made, quiet, grinds perfectly and is as easy to clean as you can get in a small home machine. My only complaint is that I have trouble holding on to the metal sides with my small hands during the cleaning process. (a minor gripe!)

Over the last 30 years I have owned 3 coffee bean grinders, 1 cheap, 1 moderately priced, and the Capresso. The Capresso is by far the very best and well worth the money. It produces a very consistent grind, is very solid, and extremely easy to clean. In comparison to the others I have owned it produces almost no static cling. I would definitely opt for the SS model as it is heavy and does not move at all during grinding. It is also quiet and I think the heaviness of the SS adds to the sound dampening.

Although I've read that one should spend as much on their burr grinder as they do on their espresso machine, I disagree. I do agree, however, that one *must* have a burr grinder for an espresso machine and not a blade grinder, as the blade grinder simply won't grind the beans fine enough for proper extraction. The Capresso Infinity does a good job of producing a consistent and fine grind, at a reasonable price. I have my Capresso Infinity set at its' second finest grind setting most of the time for use with my Gaggia Classic.

The Capresso Infinity does a good job of grinding coffee, but it creates a large static charge in the ground coffee. When you pull out the bin with the ground coffee, some of the grounds flies out and sticks to any nearby object. This is so annoying that I'm in the market to replace it.
