Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Capresso 501 Cool Grind Coffee Grinder, Black
Customer Review: Perfect for my needs
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been saving for the Capresso 560 BURR grinder for awhile, and when I finally had enough $$ to blow on a grinder, I thought about it: I'm no aficionado and I only grind 4 tbsp of beans every day--is it really worth it to get a massive burr grinder taking up precious counter space in my teeny tiny kitchen? Nope. Do I even need a grinder at all? Yup, because ANY kind of grinder (almost) is better than pre-grinding a 2.5-lb bag of decent French Roast at the store. Yuck! So I drove down to my nearest Bed Bath & Beyond, with my 20%-off coupon in hand, and snagged one of these for around $16. Cool! What a deal! And it looks perfect sitting next to my Magic Bullet, aka Margarita Machine!
Static electricity will cause not-quite-fine-enough coffee to stick to the sidewalls of the interior, but a little tap and a shake in between pulses gets them down in there where the blades are. I was grinding at the Turkish setting at the store, and the consistency looks pretty close to me. It's so fine that it even cakes up at the bottom and I have to scrape it off with a butter knife. But what's really cool is that I can turn the Cool Grind upside down, dump all the grounds into the lid, then dump it straight into my French Press, without having to worry about clearing out grounds that may have gotten stuck in the burr mechanism (which this one doesn't have). Cleanup is easy as can be: wipe the inside with a damp paper towel, then a dry one, and you're done! Try doing THAT with a burr grinder every morning.
It's taking me a little time to adjust to smooth, fresh tasting coffee without the rancid, acidic, harsh taste of beans pre-ground at the store, but I think I'll get the hang of it. Plus, after saving about $80, I have some money left over for a SIPHON/VACUUM coffeemaker, which won't be just fun to watch, but will REALLY spoil me rotten!

There is also a see-through plastic lid that lets you see how fine the grind is without opening the grinder.While these are great features, the machine has its drawbacks, too. Though the Capresso claims to have low-noise, it actually seemed a little loud compared to aslightly smaller grinder that didn't have the "cool grind" feature, and it is also a big appliance for smaller adults to get their hands around. In the final analysis, this is a great grinder for those who regularly make extra-large pots of coffee and who can handle an appliance with a little extra heft. --Maria Dolan
