What did you pay $199.99? I have not seen one for less than $206 new.

Used is a good way to get a great grinder cheap and buy new burrs.

Actually about $160 from WLL refurbished.

I have like a $50 Krups one that does the job. But I'm sure its nowhere near the $200+ ones. Might upgrade grinder, but I gotta get a scale to weigh beans first

I'd give another positive review to the Capresso Infinity Conical Burr Grinder. I've only had mine a month or so but am really liking it so far. It struck me as a good compromise between whirly-blade and Rocky kind of money if you're new to the bean and not sure where you're going with it yet.

I arrived home last night and as promised here are a few photos of the Capresso Infinity Conical Burr Grinder.

It might be interesting for some to be able to see what the heck a conical burr looks like.

And here is a shot of the mocha pot showing why we go to such lengths.

I use a Capresso Infinity as well. I had to develop new static-handling skills, but having done that I'm happy with the Capresso. I'm willing to remain blissfully ignorant of $500 grinders until I have the means to acquire one. In the meantime the Infinity certainly beats the beans out the old whirly blade.

I understand your reference to static, could you share your technique to overcome this? Thanks.
