I use compressed air to blow the grinds out of it, but I'm sure there are probably better / easier ways.Again, it is a little more expensive than the others, but well worth the investment. I haven't used for espresso yet, but I have no doubt that the grinds would be fine enough for it. A little pricey, but noticeably better than Krupps, Cuisinart, and the other "mainstream" brands. Grinds are absolutely consistent, and perfect for drip or press. Only con is that it is a PAIN to clean - but I suppose so would any burr grinder.
If you want better tasting coffee, go with this grinder. I made a batch of ice coffee and right away noticed the improvement in the flavor. I read the reviews before purchasing this grinder and compared it to another grinder that I was considering. Based on the reviews, I went with this one. I use a french press to make my coffee, the coarse grind is perfect and I had less issues in pushing down the plunger filter compared to when I was using a blade grinder.
I clean the hopper after every pound of coffee I grind, which seems adequate. The instructions say to clean it after every use which is just not feasible. They should replace it with a simple on/off switch. Only complaint is the timer switch. It's easy to maintain and easy to use. This grinder is excellent. I will never go back to the blade type grinder. Be careful not to try to turn the timer switch off before it's finished, it will break.
The result is great. I doubt it will because of the low velocity.I used it in the recommended setting for drip and am very happy with the result. But will run the brush up the shoot to keep it unclogged. This one costs double but it seems a much superior design.very happy. Yes, the starbucks oily bean is very full of static. Changed beans one day and no static.I clean every two weeks. We a a differnt Capresso model but returned it after it jammed up.
Ha, ha. After waiting a week for U.P.S., I emailed today, about the problem, telling them I would complain to potential customers if I didn't receive the order by this Friday. After waiting for shipment for ten days via post office, I telephoned and emailed, telling them that postal delivery to Maine from N.J. address, which I did. The grinder works very, very well but you have to clean it each and every time, flawlessly. Mine clogged and I couldn't get the upper burr assembly free, and this is what broke the bean container when I removed it. should have arrived. When I did this and requested a replacement, I was told that the order would be sent by U.P.S., if I would provide a U.P.S.
Tonight I got an email stating that the order somehow was lost at the warehouse, but they would send it out today. Celeste of Customer Service helped me with this over the phone, but my replacement order has still not been delivered, and I am out of home ground coffee. I have been trying to get a replacement bean container for my Infinity brushed chrome model, since my Visa card was charged 30 January. I was told that processing time was two to three days and wait another few days. Be forewarned of an "Oh well" attitude if you don't get the right person in Customer Service.
