Default Re: Looking to get 1st French Press, Ideas?

I bought the Capresso Infinity at an after Christmas sale at a local Dept store.
Very pleased with its performance, I had been using various "whirly-bird" grinders for over 20 years, and the burr grinder is definitely a huge step forward.
I drink both drip coffee and the elixir I make in my Bialetti moka pot, and the Capresso does a wonderful job.
I don't have the budget for a Mazzer, but the improvement gained by "going burr" was at least as great a jump as when I moved from ground coffee to beans and a whirly in the mid '80s.
Mr. Moo know of what he speaks.
