Don't hesitate because of negative reviews...

...this is a great product! We (my husband and I) have had ours for five months and love everything about it. It's convenient to use and makes GREAT coffee. We fill the "hopper" and when we want to make coffee (which we do every morning) we turn the dial to how many cups we want to brew and it grinds the perfect amount of beans. NO MEASURING, just one step: turn the dial. Then we pull out the cup that holds the ground coffee, dump the grinds in the coffee filter, push "on" on the coffee maker, and put the cup back in the Capresso grinder. It's that easy for tremendously flavorful coffee. (note on coffee: we've been buying dark roasts because they have the most flavor. However, the darker the beans the less caffeine, so we make the coffee "strong.") Anyway, I've read reviews on here that elaborate on how difficult it is to clean etc. and I just don't get it. I don't want to offend anyone but those reviews sound compulsive to me. If you slide the cup in, which is easy, then the grounds go into the cup. The cup is very easy to clean. What else do you need to clean? I suppose if you want to use this only occasionally like once a month or less you may not want to brew the grounds that have sat in the burr grinder all that time and it could be an issue. If that's the case I would recommend going with a small grinder that better suits your rate of consumption. I have never needed to empty the grinds from within the machine so I can't tell you if it is difficult to get them out or easy (like tipping a toaster upside down and shaking it.) One suggestion would be (for example if you go on vacation) to grind enough beans to push the old ones out, and throw the old ones away.

If you're just a regular person who likes great coffee on a regular basis, or you want to give a grinder to someone who drinks coffee on a regular basis as a gift, buy this with confidence.

Great first Burr Grinder!!!

I did a lot of looking before I bought this Capresso 560. It has not disappointed. I LOVE the consistent grind coarseness and find the range is perfect as I can easily adjust it to acceptable thickness for drip, or french press, or vacuum coffee production. I don't do expresso so I'm not sure about suitability for that. I have no problems with the collection bin (as others reported). I've been using it a month and give it top ratings. (PS: I went for the Black Plastic version as it is a outstanding value and grinds equally well as the optional metal housing version)

excellent burr grinder

First, if you're thinking that ANY blade grinder is an acceptable substitute for a burr grinder -- IT'S NOT. Find a burr grinder or you just get a nasty mess.

I bought this Capresso when my Krups burr grinder broke after 18 months of use. (The Krups has LOTS of design flaws. DON'T buy the Krups!)

The $89 price tag was a little daunting. Also the many reviews of how hard it is to assemble, etc.

But I am immensely satisfied with this machine. It works quietly and smoothly. Simple, elegant design. Easy to fill the hopper, easy to use the ground coffee.

The burrs are generously sized, and would therefore appear to stay cool during the grind. This is important. The ground coffee is uniformly ground...GOOD. The grinding is relatively quiet -- a LOT quieter than the Krups. I particularly like that you can fill the hopper during the grind. Grind adjustment is easy, and the variation between coarse and fine grind is excellent.

The switch is a simple mechanical timer. Looks hard to break. The Krups switch, by contrast, was flaky and often challenging to turn on.

As to all those "be careful" and "hard to unpack" comments...frankly they frightened me. I don't know who these people are! The actual unpacking and assembly was a piece of cake. As for the guy who says he "sounds like 'that guy'" -- hey, fella you ARE THAT GUY!"

I am happy to recommend this grinder despite the scary $89 price!

great grinder!

Read reviews on this and went with opinions. Grinder works fast, relatively quietly and has the many grind variations I wanted. Great product!

OK. Somewhat messy, short life

The item was purchased in October 2007. It did a good job of grinding coffee, until it died about a week ago

Until that time, the only downside was that the receptacle for the ground coffee would ease out while grinding and ground coffee that would come out and also get between it and the machine. This residual ground coffee had to be cleaned out in order for the receptacle to be put back in for grinding.
