I never clean the grinding chamber. It's not needed.
I disagree. If you ever opened up the chamber and saw the amount of grinds that get backed up in there, you may think twice about it. It's especially bad if you're using oily beans. I clean mine out about once a week. With the Capresso, it takes about 2 minutes...
Except the oils from the beans turn rancid. So yes, you need to clean it out.

So I've heard, but the coffee tastes great every time. I use the 8 oclock coffee and we grind beans a couple times a week. /shrug
I've never had to take it apart to clean it. I rinse the grind holder receptacle and shake it upside down with the top off to knock stuff out, but have never had to take it apart to clean it and it works fine.
I'm with you man, I have the same one and I've never cleaned it out in about 5 years that I've had it. I use it daily, sometimes over 5 times per day (I drink an asinine amount of coffee). Workhorse.
No smells, no weird taste, grind it up and drink.
It seems like after 5+ years of daily use, my Bodum Bistro Electric burr grinder is on the fritz. Anyone have a recommendation for a good replacement? I was looking at either:
Cuisinart CBM-18N
Capresso 560 Infinity
Maybe a model I'm missing or should go for instead? I'm looking to keep it under $100. Thanks.
Do most of you guys grind beans every time you make a cup? I grind about 10 cups worth at a time and keep them in an airtight clear acrylic jar. It's too much hassle to grind beans every hour or so.
I have the Capresso model you linked and it works well. Very happy with it but either of those should work fine. The really expensive models dose it into an espresso filter and give you a finer tune on the grind but for making coffee either of those models would be excellent.
The Capresso is easy to clean too.
Hardly. If you start with fresh beans (like actually fresh, not supermarket fresh), a few days of age is easily to identify. So yes, at home I grind beans every morning. It only adds a a couple minutes to the brewing process.I just dump around a pound at a time of organic whole bean roast into my Oster 650 watt blender, slap a set of sound-blocking ear muffs on my head, turn the thing on high and with one hand force the beans down repeatedly with the bottom of a drinking glass. Do this until the coffee is uniformly ground very fine and store in quart plastic containers, all but one in the refrigerator. This works wonderfully and have done this for decades.
I believe that people who insist on grinding their coffee moments before brewing are fetishists.
Again, it's all relative. If you aren't starting with good coffee then using the wrong grinder becomes less important.I feel so stupid. We have been using the same cheap blade grinder for I don't know how many years.
I actually like some of the grinders posted here, think I will try one out.
