I mostly do drip coffee (shh, I'm basic), but I'd like a more consistent, fresh brew, and potentially something that could do an espresso grind, as well.
I've seen good things about the Capresso Infinity Plus, but thought I'd ask about the personal preferences from more experienced folks here.
It'd be lovely to have something that can easily fit on the counter, and with a simple mechanism and/or reparability (even if that means looking for old stock of a certain model).
I think nothing can touch the DF54 for the price. I have the DF64 Gen 2 but I was going to buy the DF54 if the former didn't go on a ridiculous sale that I took advantage of.
If your buying this grade of grinder, your not getting much of the benefit of the added cost. If your not not using fresh beans and dosing consistently. These two things will have a bigger impact that the jump from encore/svart aroma to these types of grinders.
For a home user, leaving beans in hoppers negates much of the improvement in coffee quality that higher end grinders may achieve.
If you want a big hopper, you may as well save some money and get something like a encore or svart aroma.
These grinders don’t have big hoppers because that’s an advantage. Smaller hoppers means you can single dose without beans bouncing about for too long. The people chasing cup quality that has them buying these more expensive coffee grinders will already be single dosing, and using fresh beans. Because that can have a disproportionate impact compared to the price difference of many grinders.
