Capresso Infinity Plus Coffee Grinder | Crew Review

[@dmarque]

I have found that the numerics on the Capresso are not related to timing but are exactly equal to # of scoops of beans. 4 = exactly 4 scoops of beans etc.

[@leegollin4417]

I pour beans very slowly into the running grinder. Not choking the shoot produces much more consistent grind sizes.

[@uthinkimfunnysonny]

This is a fascinating strategy, one I will have to try.

[@ButImFeelingMuchBetterNow]

I have the black case version of this grinder. I have been using it for about 2 months now and so far it's great. A big step up from the $30 burr grinder I had before. I think the extra $100 has been worth it. Using it on medium/fine for pour over mostly. The sound is not bad at all. It's way quieter than my previous grinder. My only complaint so far is that for a stepped grinder the steps are not well defined as you turn the hopper. (It is easy to turn past the setting you want.)

[@upinmyglider]

Capresso now sells replacement parts for this grinder on their website; all the plastic bits for the Infinity grinder are for sale at quite reasonable prices.

[@rgruenhaus]

I want a grinder that when you select the time and coarseness you can actually fill the output bin with medium grind and the beans aren't getting stuck like the espressione burr mill I have. My old Cuisinart mill never had problems with beans getting stuck no matter the oiliness of the beans. I want a conical burr mill that grinds the beans I put in the hopper without having to continuously tap on the hopper for the beans to be ground.

What’s a good setting for a pour over and French press?

[@michy2630]

this is a great grinder for beginners. the only thing is that a lot of coffee gets stuck inside the grinder and it does not go into the basket. You have to shake the whole thing and fiddle with it to get the remainder of the coffee out. You also need to add 1-2 tiny drops of water inside the bin before it grinds. This will help to get more of the grinds into the bin. My basket broke this week and I ordered a new one from Capresso for $6

[@Stevesbe]

You can modify this to grind finer it's easy to take apart and move the ring over a few notches

[@DavidEmbrey]

Hey Steve, can you elaborate or link a youtube. TY in advance.

[@cwl206]

just started using this and also the capresso mini. very happy so far. ❤

[@pcrate20]

hi, can I used it for make an espresso I own a delonghi EC885 , and if so what kind of settings used it, meaning time and grinder settings, thank you

[@adnoway4238]

Does this machine grind coffee to make Turkish coffee. The coffee should be very soft Thank you

[@stevejette2329]

I have the problem of static in the clear plastic catch box. When I take it out, coffee flies everywhere. They used the wrong plastic ? Is there any cure ?

[@SeattleCoffeeGear]

Hi there, This kind of static buildup is unfortunately just a reality for coffee grinders, it's not necessarily a problem with the catch bin specifically. You could try using a dropper to drop a few drops of water into the hopper, this can help with static buildup.

[@stevejette2329]

@@SeattleCoffeeGear I saw the water idea here and tried it. After a couple seconds somehow the grinder totally stopped working. I left it open for a couple hours to dry out and it worked again. I have found that tapping the catch bin with a spoon after grinding helps

[@michy2630]

what setting do you think is best for the bialetti moka pot? thank you

[@MarcAbis]

Any cleaning recommendations? Seems a bit intensive

[@Ray-uf6py]

Great review. How would you compare this grinder to the Baratza Virtuoso+?

[@paulloren66]

How is the plus different from the original infinity?

[@tarekforgani2888]

Which grinder do you recommend for Turkish coffee in a coffee shop?

[@MrChristopherMolloy]

I LOVE this grinder, AND it's indestructible!

[@samborolossi]

Is it good for Turkish coffee ?

[@MrChristopherMolloy]

@@samborolossi I'm sorry, I've never used it for that.

[@kenroman777]

@@samborolossi I do not have a doubt as mine can grind to powder...I have ZERO idea why they are saying it does not do espresso... I am using mine with the breville bambino and I have the izpresso K plus and I can tell it BEFORE it gets to the finest by 3-4 lines.. it is as fine as the K Plus on 2.8. ! Honestly for my bambino it is great and will be returning the K Plus...

[@dbmacdougall]

How do you take it apart?

[@itisaporsche]

I have the Costco model for $98. Looks like this one. Anyone know why I get a few grinds fall outside of the plastic catch bin? Enough to be annoying to sweep up each time.

[@thankfulock]

Where is Gail?

[@maryl.7226]

She retired last year (2019), November I believe.

[@thehairlesspersian3273]

How would you compare this to the Breville Pro or Ariete if familiar? Ideally I’d want one that is solid and can consistently produce between French press and moka pot as those are my two preferred brew methods next to Turkish, but currently use a hand grinder for that since a much smaller amount. If can even do Turkish then that would be a nice bonus. Also, is there a way to stop it sooner like a pulse button, or is it strictly on a timer? Thanks again!

[@ArchambaultMat]

Please review the Lelit brand. Grinder and expresso machine!

[@durkadur27]

They don't sell Lelit so I wouldn't hold your breath. Lelit isn't the best brand imo unless you want a budget E61

[@LimitedWard]

What about retention?

[@brucetouzel6484]

is it quiet ? is there static ?

[@franklogan494]

WHERE'S OUR FAVORITE, GAIL????

[@BrianBuehler]

I called them last week for coffee stuff and asked that same question. They said that she's now happily retired (and yes, I too am sad that she's not in the vids and am hoping that she will make occasional cameo visits -- please SCG and Gail).

[@franklogan494]

@Brian Buehler thank you for letting us know. Im so sad for that news. She is the main reason i watch this channel
