I'm also for the Capresso Infinity. I got one when a friend of mine gave me his Coffee Gaggia, and the thing works wonderfully for grinding espresso, also has a wide variety of grind settings.

An inexpensive option are some of the manual grinders. I have this one from Orphan Espresso:
http://www.orphanesp...der_p_2299.html
It's 75$ and makes an excellent espresso grind. Takes about 2 minutes to grind out a double shot.
I converted mine over to a pepper grinder just this morning, amazed at the volume of pepper it cranks out and the top compartment holds a lot of peppercorns, so even if you upgrade in the future there are good things to do with these.

I just got a Capresso infinity, and it grinds beautifully. My question is, do you-all really clean out the grinder mechanism after each use? I just know that's not going to happen in my house.

in the past Ive cleaned mine once a week, on the week-ends. The cleaned grinder results in 'brighter' coffee.

Thanks. That sounds doable.
