Burr grinders do a much better job than blade grinders, because burr grinders grind the beans between two plates, to a uniform size. A blade grinder simply smashes the coffee beans to bits through repeated impact of the blades.

And the better burr grinders offer a variety of settings, so you can adjust the grind to suit your brewer – a fine grind for espresso or Turkish coffee, a coarse grind for a French Press, and everything in between.

The best grinders of all are conical burr grinders, with a low grinding speed. The low grinding speed reduces loss of taste and aroma through the beans getting heated during grinding, and also minimizes the “static cling” problem you get with cheaper burr grinders.

The Capresso Infinity 560 Burr grinder has all the features you need, and at a very reasonable price.

It has solid steel conical burrs, and offers 16 separate settings to give you the exact grind you want. Its gear reduction motor reduces the speed of the grind, the noise generated and the amount of friction and heat generated.

In other words, it's a commercial grade burr grinder, priced for home use.

And the perfect gift for the coffee lover in your life.
