 Awesome Burr Grinder October 21, 2008
Carrie Jones
My favorite thing about it is that it's so easy to clean! All you have to do is remove the empty bean container, lift the upper burr and clean inside the grinding chamber with a special brush that comes with the grinder. You can reuse it in less than a minute.
 Clean Your Kitchen After Every Use October 20, 2008
Travis
While it grinds coffee decently, this is the messiest appliance in history, requiring me to pull out the vacuum every time I use it. Coffee particles literally spray across your counter as the grinder operates. After grinding, removal of the receptacle canister sets off a static explosion where grindings fly to every region of your kitchen. Seriously, it is almost like a bad joke every time I use this thing. Grinds go EVERYWHERE. I got this as a gift and it pains me to think that my friend spent so much on this thing. The company should be ashamed of the design flaws that cause it to operate the way it does. Oh yes, it will grind coffee... but the instant, substantial mess makes this thing unusable.
Junk June 18, 2008
Harold E. Gosse (Denver, CO United States)
We replaced a Cuisinart burr grinder with a faulty switch with this machine. We have had the Capresso for only about six months. It began jamming and failing to complete a grind cycle after two months. This was at middle grind settings. We have diassembled the Capresso numerous times for cleaning but the jamming has progressively become worse. Also, from the beginning it produced excess static which results in a cloud of coffee dust being ejected from the bin when the bin is removed after grinding. The Cuisinart worked much better for years.
Bad product, bad customer service May 28, 2008
Ana (Alexandria, VA)
Received the 556 as gift in early April. Stopped working after a week of use in spite of proper cleaning and care. Customer service offered free replacement. Was told 556 and 557 are no longer manufactured because of many problems. Also offered upgrade to the 560 for only $30 if I return the broken one. Opted for upgrade. Changed mind and called back a few days later. Told that now I would have to return broken one regardless. Whatever. Don't want either one.
Perfect Grinder for a French Press April 20, 2008
Ryan William Bush (Lafayette, IN)
This grinder works perfectly for people who use a French Press. I have owned this grinder now for 6 months and have used it almost every day. Grind size is always consistent. No real static issues to speak of. The only thing I would say is a "negative" is that you sometimes have to wiggle the grinder to get more coffee to feed in the burrs. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase.
