New Grinder
I've had quite a few grinders.... the blade grinder (Cusinart), Burr (Cusinart), Burr (Krupps). The blade grinders are for shit for an even grind. The Cusinart Burr was a nice grinder but gave a bit too much powder after grinding, and was too loud for my wife So she bought me a Burr - junk. Hated it. MESSY with the lid that you had to take off after the grind - loaded with powder from the grind. Then it shit the bed after less than a year. Not even worth sending back.
So I picked up the Capresso Infinity grinder. I'm not all that crazy about the timer setting but other than that, it's really performing well. Smooth running, great grind, not a bit of grind powder, and not a bit of mess after I take out the ground beans from the machine and dump 'em into the pot. I've seen some pretty fancy machines but for $90 this is highly recommended |

Thanks for the heads up on that. I am hoping my Cuisinart burr grinder dies REAL soon so I can replace it with something much better.

I've had the Capresso Infinity for a couple of years now. There are better burr grinders out there, but not for the money. I've never felt like I need something better, I've even given two as gifts, I think that highly of it.
