Overview
The Capresso Infinity is a long-running budget conical burr grinder that has earned a reputation for quiet operation and decent grind quality. The 40mm conical steel burrs handle the full range from Turkish to French press, with 16 settings providing reasonable control. The gear reduction system keeps the grinding noise remarkably low for its price class. The Capresso Infinity has been a popular recommendation for budget-conscious coffee drinkers who want a meaningful upgrade from blade grinding without a significant investment.
The Capresso Infinity features a 40mm conical burr set, crafted from steel. The burrs spin at 450 RPM, a deliberately slow speed that minimizes heat buildup and preserves coffee aromatics. Grind retention is approximately 2.0g, typical for a hopper-fed workflow.
At $100, the Capresso Infinity is aimed at home baristas seeking a solid grinder without a premium price tag. With a 250g hopper, it's designed for a traditional hopper-fed workflow. The conical burr design is known for producing a slightly bimodal grind distribution, which many enjoy for its body and complexity in espresso.
The Capresso Infinity is weighing 2.3 kg, manufactured in Switzerland, powered by a 100W motor. Its footprint measures 127 x 191 x 279 mm (W×D×H).
