Question: I see that the timer ranges from 5 to 60 seconds. How long does it typically take to grind a full container of beans?
Document: I can see the difference in grind if I move the dial a few notches or forget to adjust for the roasting level. Finding the right grind didn't take long. I prefer the medium roasts and set the grinder to the low end of the Medium range. I sometimes brush out the burrs after using up the contents of the hopper (which holds about 8 oz. of beans) but it's not necessary with medium roasts. After every pound suffices. I like the Capresso as it's quiet and doesn't wake my wife.
After every use I brush out all the remaining grounds from all parts - a messy inconvenience, regardless of your choice of bean or grind setting. I never use the the timer more than once, and I never overload it. I take care of my appliances.Kudos to Amazon! When I explained the situation over the phone, the gentleman arranged for Amazon to refund my money, out of their own pocket! He made an exception because of the product performance, and because I'm a long-time customer.
The existence of the timer baffles me a little. I would have been perfectly content with a simple on/off switch, or a pulse switch. I suppose if I was the type that had to know how long to turn a machine on to grind X amount of coffee at a specific coarseness to get exactly the right amount for my coffee maker, I might care about the timer more. For me...I turn the thing on, grind the amount of coffee I want, and call it done.
It is super easy to use and does not require you to be holding it while the beans grind. Take the leap - you will not be sorry!
After having this grinder for almost 7 years it finally gave up while i was trying to grind green coffee beans. So here i am on the market searching for a new one.I was tempted to buy a Breville BCG800XL Smart Grinder for the looks, less mess and more accurate estimation. With a 20% coupon i was about to buy it from BBB. But before that i decided to take another look at my dead grinder before i put it to trash. Apparently its alive!
I get the exact results I want each time. Quality coffee beans aren't cheap. I'm pleased to not waste them on an inferior machine. The Capressa helps achieve the full flavor of the beans, something my old one did not. Good coffee is the result of quality beans, proper grind, and the right extraction method.
It can sit in a canister until the next pot. That would make some coffee aficionados insane, I know. You can turn the hopper counterclockwise to stop grinding, so it's not like once you turn the timer on there is no point of return and you are doomed to grind beans to the bitter end.You cannot easily empty the hopper if you want to change beans or over fill it. I have already, twice, cleverly pulled the hopper off to change beans. Duh.
I don't think this is a big deal or that it will ruin the beans in the ten days they are in the hopper. A less frequent drinker *may* notice a change in taste.4. I am not sure what to say about the static charge in the grounds container. It exists and could be a nuisance if you are pouring the grounds into a small espresso basket.
)A few, non-fatal issues with the Capresso to keep in mind for your circumstances:1. Initially, using the timer was more of an art than a science. As you turn the mechanical timer to the determined grinding duration, it's already begun grinding beans. Most times I hit my mark, other times I don't.
I like to make my coffee with extremely fine Turkish grind and this grinder works beautifully. I wish I had invested in this long ago. My coffee tastes so much better!
Answer: For a 1/2 cup of beans it is about 20 seconds
