The Black Disk Burr Grinder with handsome Black ASB housing is the latest creation in Capresso's line of burr grinders. The grinder features an innovative vertical design which ensures that no ground coffee remains inside the grinder after use and minimizes static. It features an insulated grinder lid that makes it the lowest noise grinder in its class.
This review is from: Capresso Disk Burr GrindersI don't understand why this grinder had gotten such bad reviews! I purchased this along with my Capresso 303.01 espresso machine. I love this brand, I think they make quality products!The complaints on noise are ridiculous, it's a coffee grinder! They're all loud and noisy, this one is no exception, nor is it the loudest I've heard. The settings work great, the timer works great (though most of the time, I just set it on the longest time and manually turn it off when I see that I've got enough grinds). I can get everything from fine for espresso to course for my french press. I have no problems with the setting switch moving on me either. Because this isn't a conical burr grinder, I do get instances where the beans aren't falling into the chute and the machine makes that empty noise, but it's nothing a quick tap on the side doesn't fix. One reviewer mentioned that they needed a lot of beans to weigh it enough for the beans to fall into the chute. I usually only grind enough for myself, and don't have a lot of problem with putting in just a few scoops at a time. Again, nothing a quick tap or two to the machine won't fix. I think this is also fairly common with a lot of grinders, not specific to this machine.And the clogging. Perhaps having worked at several coffee shops prepped me for this - but I clean out the chute after every use or every other use. It's not a hassle to me, it takes just a minute to put it next to my sink, jiggle the brush around in there and tap it out over the sink. I do it when I'm waiting for my coffee to brew, and I've done this since I got the machine and have not had any issue with clogging.For the price point, I think this is an excellent and good looking machine that I would recommend. If you truly wanted something that performed at a higher standard, then you need to be willing to invest more money....
This review is from: Capresso Disk Burr GrindersI recently purchased a new Capresso 580 and I am very disapointed. I would recommend spending more money to get a better functioning burr grinder.The 3 main problems:1. The coffee chute below the grinder collects about 33% of the grounds everytime I grind beans. In other words, it seems about 2 teaspoons end up jammed into the chute for every two tablespoons I grind. One reviewer suggested tapping the sides and another recommended grinding to empty (e.g. only fill with the whole beans you need). Neither of these tips worked for me. The only thing that works is a combination of brushing with the supplied brush (which gets out the loose coffee) and then inserting your finger up the chute and scraping out all the compacted grounds. Very messy and extremely wasteful. 2. The fine/course dial shifts towards course as you grind (from the grinding pressure). I keep an eye on it and either push it back when it shifts or just hold it where I like it.3. The grounds container has a nice tight fit but it can be hard to remove. It takes a firm grip and good finger pressure to pull it out. It is silly because the container has a perfect grip built in, but that perfect grip is pushed inside the housing so it is of no use for removal. There is just a small plastic ridge on a curving surface to get a grip on. If your finger strength is weak or if you have arthritis, forget about using this machine....
This review is from: Capresso Disk Burr GrindersI have a love-hate relationship with this Burr grinder. I love the action of the Burr grinder, I love the timer (and agree with the previous comment about the air raid siren), and I love the various grind options, but this particular grinder does not do well with oily beans. After two weeks of owning the grinder, the thing was totally clogged and that wimpy, little brush isn't going to do it. It took me an hour with a large, stretched out paper clip to get the inside of the grinder cleaned out. Now, I must clean it out every day to keep it clog free. I'm not willing to give up my French Roast coffee beans. To clean, I have to unplug the unit, stick my finger up the shoot to try to get all compacted grounds out of the shoot. Then I stick...
